TIP: Protein backtranslation aided by genetic algorithms
(2004)
Summary: Several applications require the backtranslation of a protein sequence into a nucleic acid sequence. The degeneracy of the genetic code makes this process ambiguous; moreover, not every translation is equally ...
Algorithms and complexity of enumerating minimal precursor sets in genome-wide metabolic networks
(2012)
Motivation: In the context of studying whole metabolic networks and their interaction with the environment, the following question arises: given a set of target metabolites T and a set of possible external source metabolites, ...
Some Thoughts on A. H. Louie's "More Than Life Itself: A Reflection on Formal Systems and Biology"
(2011)
We review and discuss A. H. Louie's book "More than Life Itself: A Reflexion on Formal Systems and Biology" from an interdisciplinary viewpoint, involving both biology and mathematics, taking into account new developments ...
A performance/cost evaluation for a GPU-based drug discovery application on volunteer computing
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research field that develops tools for the analysis of large biological databases, and, thus, the use of high performance computing (HPC) platforms is mandatory for the generation of ...
Spatial ability for university biology education
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
Studying and pursuing careers of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields demand spatial ability. Completing a university degree in biology is no exception. The aim of this study is to summarize key ...
A computational study of the protein-ligand interactions in CDK2 inhibitors: Using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics interaction energy as a predictor of the biological activity
(Biophysical Society, 2007)
We report a combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) study to determine the protein-ligand interaction energy between CDK2 (cyclin-dependent kinase 2) and five inhibitors with the N2-substituted 6-cyclohexy ...
On mental rotations and cortical activity patterns a linear representation is still wanted
(Springer-Verlag, 1991)
Carlton (1988) has proposed an attractive hypothesis to link perceived visual images to brain electrical patterns via a linear representation of the Euclidean group onto an appropriate functional space. We show that the ...
Exact results for the average dynamic behavior of some non-linear neural networks
(Springer-Verlag, 1987)
We have studied the global dynamic behavior of neural-like networks of synchronous threshold elements by writing a master equation as a function of parameter values using statistical methods. Exact results for highly ...
COMPUTATIONAL STUDY on the RUPTURE RISK in REAL CEREBRAL ANEURYSMS with GEOMETRICAL and FLUID-MECHANICAL PARAMETERS USING FSI SIMULATIONS and MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS
(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2019)
Fluid-mechanical and morphological parameters are recognized as major factors in the rupture risk of human aneurysms. On the other hand, it is well known that a lot of machine learning tools are available to study a variety ...
Complementarity of statistical treatments to reconstruct worldwide routes of invasion: the case of the Asian ladybird Harmonia axyridis
(Wiley, 2014)
Inferences about introduction histories of invasive species remain challenging because of the stochastic demographic processes involved. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) can help to overcome these problems, but such ...
