construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality
like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
Pharmacophore Modeling and Virtual Screening for the Discovery of New type 4 cAMP Phosphodiesterase (PDE4) Inhibitors
Type 4 cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE4) inhibitors show a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory effects in almost all kinds of inflamed cells, by an increase in cAMP levels which is a pivotal second messenger responsible for various biological processes. These inhibitors are now considered as the potential drugs for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. However, some recently marketed inhibito...
متن کاملPharmacophore elucidation and molecular docking studies on phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors
cGMP-binding cGMP-specific PDE, PDE5 plays a key role in the hydrolysis of cyclic guanidine monophosphate. Because cGMP mediates vascular functions, a PDE5 inhibitor that elevates cGMP level is an attractive means for vasodilatation and treatment of erectile dysfunction. In this paper we report the elucidation of the common pharmacophore hypothesis of different classes of PDE5 inhibitors. Using...
متن کاملDynamic receptor-based pharmacophore model development and its application in designing novel HIV-1 integrase inhibitors.
We present here a dynamic receptor-based pharmacophore model representing the complementary features of the active site region of HIV-1 integrase (IN), which was developed from a series of representative conformations of IN. Conformations of IN were sampled through a molecular dynamics study of the catalytic domain of an IN monomer, and an ensemble of representative IN structures were collected...
متن کاملDevelopment of Improved Models for Phosphodiesterase-4 Inhibitors with a Multi-Conformational Structure-Based QSAR Method
Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) is an important drug target for several diseases, including COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder) and neurodegenerative diseases. In this paper, we describe the development of improved QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) models using a novel multi-conformational structure-based pharmacophore key (MC-SBPPK) method. Similar to our previous work,...
