Abstract

Human GPR40 receptor, also known as free fatty-acid receptor 1, is a Gprotein- coupled receptor that binds long chain free fatty acids to enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion. In order to improve the resistance and efficacy, computational tools were applied to a series of 3-aryl-3-ethoxypropanoic acid derivatives. A relationship between the structure and biological activity of these compounds, was derived using a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) study using CoMFA, CoMSIA and two-dimensional QSAR study using HQSAR methods. Building the 3D-QSAR models, CoMFA, CoMSIA and HQSAR were performed using Sybyl-X software. The ratio of training to test set was kept 70:30. For the generation of 3D-QSAR model three different alignments were used namely, distill, pharmacophore and docking based alignments. Molecular docking studies were carried out on designed molecules using the same software. Among all the three methods used, Distill alignment was found to be reliable and predictive with good statistical results. The results obtained from CoMFA analysis q2, r2cv and r2 pred were 0.693, 0.69 and 0.992 respectively and in CoMSIA analysis q2, r2cv and r2pred were 0.668, 0.648 and 0.990.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
