New tricks for old dogs: improving the accuracy of biomolecular force fields by pair-specific corrections to non-bonded interactions.

English summary Improved description of complex plasticity and interactions in protein-ligand simulations

Molecular simulations of biological systems allow to predict properties not accessible to experiment, to provide novel insights in experimental results, or to participate in improving the design of new experiments. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are often used to study the interactions between a drug and a target protein on a detailed level: atomic interactions between the drug and the pro...

Polymerase chain reaction assay targeting nox gene for rapid identification of Brachyspira canis in dogs

Genus Brachyspira,as Gram negative anaerobic bacteria, colonize in dogs intestine. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of Brachyspira spp. for the first time in Iran and rapid identification of Brachyspira spp. in dogs by a new designment of a species-specific primer set for B. canis. One hundred fifty-one fecal samples were obtained ...

Anisotropic Coarse-Grained Model for Proteins Based On Gay–Berne and Electric Multipole Potentials

Gay-Berne anisotropic potential has been widely used to evaluate the non-bonded interactions between coarse-grained particles being described as elliptical rigid bodies. In this paper, we are presenting a coarse-grained model for twenty kinds of amino acids and proteins, based on the anisotropic Gay-Berne and point electric multipole (EMP) potentials. We demonstrate that the anisotropic coarse-...

Improving Accuracy of DGPS Correction Prediction in Position Domain using Radial Basis Function Neural Network Trained by PSO Algorithm

Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) provides differential corrections for a GPS receiver in order to improve the navigation solution accuracy. DGPS position signals are accurate, but very slow updates. Improving DGPS corrections prediction accuracy has received considerable attention in past decades. In this research work, the Neural Network (NN) based on the Gaussian Radial Basis Fun...
