Protein phosphatase manganese dependent 1D (PPM1D), a Ser/Thr protein phosphatise, play major role in the cancer tumorigenesis of various tumors including neuroblastoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, medulloblastoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer and ovarian cancer. Hence, analysis on the structural features required for the formation of PPM1D-inhibitor complex becomes essential. In this study, we have performed molecular docking of SL-175 and -176 and protein-protein docking of CDC5L with PPM1D. On analysing the docked complexes, we have identified the important residues involved in the formation of protein-ligand complex. Research concentrating on these residues could be helpful in understanding the pathophysiology of various tumors related to PPM1D.

KiSS1-derived peptide receptor, a GPCR protein, binds with the hormone Kisspeptin plays a major role in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction. It is important in the onset of puberty and triggers the release of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone. It is a potential drug target for the disorders related to GnRH, hence, analysing the structural features of the receptor becomes important. The three dimensional of the receptor modelled in a previous study was utilised. In this study, we have analysed the protein - protein interaction of the receptor with Kisspeptin 10 and 15. The study revealed the important residues which are involved in the interaction. The result of this study could be helpful in understanding the mechanism of Kiss1 receptor activation and the pathophysiology of the disorders related to the receptor.

CRFR is involved in the pathophysiology of various disorders including depression, stress, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction. The discovery of novel and structurally diverse CRF1 receptor inhibitors becomes essential. In this study, we have performed molecular docking of CRF1R with the derivatives of 8-substituted-2-aryl-5-alkylaminoquinolines as CRF1R inhibitors. The antagonist molecules were optimized and docked into the binding site of the receptor. On analysing the docked complexes we have identified that the residues HIS214, THR215, ARG227, ARG1008, LYS1060 and ASP1061 are important in forming hydrogen bond with the inhibitors. Further studies on these residues could reveal important structural features required for the formation of CRF1R-inhibitor complex and thus in the discovery of novel and potent inhibitors.

Hepatitis B virus is the leading source of liver disorders and is a global health problem and needs advancements in its treatment against increasing problems. Recently five vanitaracin derivatives were isolated from the fungus Talaromyces species which have anti-Hepatitis B virus activity. Hence, in the present study, molecular docking was carried out with five vanitaracin derivatives isolated from Talaromyces species and three known inhibitors.The objective of this work is to study the interaction of newly isolated compounds and compare its interaction with known inhibitors. The docking results revealed that vanitaracin derivatives have good interactions and has better docking score with the Hepatitis B virus and suggest SER2, SER4 and ASP30 are important residues involved in interaction with the inhibitors. These result authenticates vanitaracin derivatives contributes to inhibitory activity of Hepatitis B virus to treat liver disorders.

본 논문에서는 CNN 기반 스테그아날리스 방법을 이용하여 입력 영상에 비밀 메시지가 삽입되었는지를 판별하고, 비밀 메시지가 삽입되었을 경우 WOW 와 UNIWARD 방법 중에 어떤 방법으로 삽입되었는지를 분류하고자 한다. 이를 위해 입력 영상으로부터 특징 정보를 추출하기 위해 사용되는 전처리(prepropcessing) 필터의 수가 분류 성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석한다. SRM 필터를 사용한 실험에서 필터의 수를 단순히 증가시키는 것은 성능 향상이 도움이 되지 않으며, 효과적인 필터를 선별해서 사용하는 것이 보다 우수한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

Several anti-inflammatory small molecules have been found in the process of the inflammatory response, and these small molecules have been used to treat some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Numerous tools for predicting anti-inflammatory peptides (AIPs) have emerged in recent years. However, conducting experimental validations in the lab is both resource-intensive and time-consuming. Current therapies for inflammatory and autoimmune disorders often involve nonspecific anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants, often with potential side effects. AIPs have been used in treating inflammatory illnesses like Alzheimer's disease and can limit the expression of inflammatory promoters. Recent advances in adverse incident predictions (AIPs) have been made, but it is crucial to acknowledge limitations and imperfections in existing methodologies.

Invasive species are organisms that are introduced into places outside of their natural distribution range. The global pet trade is facilitating the introduction of invasive species into new countries and areas. Among the introduced alien species, turtles are one of the most common animal groups whether lives in wetland ecosystems, such as wetlands or reservoirs. Like other countries around the world, exotic turtles is becoming a growing concern for the wetland ecosystem in South Korea. In this study, we report new reports of subspecies of Painted turtle (Chrysemys spp.): Chrysemys picta marginata, C. p. bellii and C. dorsalis, from the reservoirs in downtown Cheongju and Gwangju, South Korea. We used morphological features, such as the characteristics of the legs, plastron, and carapace, to identify the turtles. It is assumed that all turtles were artificially released into nature. Considering the increasing number of reports on the introduction of alien invasive turtles in Korean wetlands, we recommend the formulation of an immediate and systematic management plan for pet trades and organized continuous monitoring programs.

본 연구에서는 비글견 혈장 중의 파록세틴을 액체상추출법(LLE)으로 전처리하고 액체크로마토그래피-탠덤질량분석기(LC-MS/MS)로 신속하게 분석하는 방법을 개발하였다. 파록세틴과 내부표준물질로 사용한 플루오세틴을 TBME(tert-butyl methyl ether)로 추출하고 상층액을 취하여 건조시킨 후, 이동상 $100{\mu}L$로 재분산하여 LC-MS/MS에 주입하였다. HPLC 분석조건으로 Capcell Pak UG120($2.0{\times}150mm$, $5{\mu}m$) 컬럼을 사용하였으며, 이동상은 50% 아세토니트릴(pH 3, formic acid로 조정) 용액을 사용하였고, 유량은 0.2 mL/min으로 하였다. MS/MS의 SRM(selective reaction monitoring) 방법으로 파록세틴과 플루오세틴의 선구 이온, 생성 이온을 각각 m/z $330{\rightarrow}192$, m/z $310{\rightarrow}148$로 분석한 결과 0.02~5 ng/mL의 농도범위에서 상관계수($R^2$) 0.9993으로 좋은 직선성을 나타내었다. 또한 정량한계는 0.02 ng/mL이며, 정밀성은 일내 및 일간 변동계수가 7.67% 이하이고, 정확도는 92.96~102.99%로 비글견 혈장 중의 파록세틴의 약물동력학 연구에 이용될 수 있는 충분한 감도와 특이성, 직선성, 정밀성 및 정확성을 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.

CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) is a prominent chemokine receptor on neutrophils. CXCR2 antagonist may reduce the neutrophil chemotaxis and alter the inflammatory response because the neutrophilic inflammation in the lung diseases is found to be largely regulated through CXCR2 receptor. Hence, in the present study, Hologram based Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship Study was performed on a series of CXCR2 antagonist named pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile-6-alkyl derivatives. The best HQSAR model was obtained using atoms, bonds, and chirality as fragment distinction parameter using hologram length 151 and 6 components with fragment size of minimum 4 and maximum 7. Significant cross-validated correlation coefficient ($q^2=0.774$) and non cross-validated correlation coefficients ($r^2=0.977$) were obtained. The model was then used to evaluate the six external test compounds and its $r^2_{pred}$ was found to be 0.614. Contribution map show that presence of cyclopropyl ring and its bulkier substituent's makes big contributions for improving the biological activities of the compounds. We hope that our HQSAR model and analysis will be helpful for future design of novel and structurally related CXCR2 antagonists.

Influenza A virus (H1N1) causes and spreads infectious diseases and becomes a major health threat in humans. Among the subtypes of influenza virus, neuraminidase (NA) plays an important role in viral life cycle and becomes an attractive therapeutic target. Currently two NA inhibitors namely Zanamivir and Oseltamivir are available for treating infectious diseases. Recently five naturally derived polyphenols extracted from Phellinus baumii was reported as inhibitors against NA. Molecular docking is powerful tool in computer aided drug designing which aids in exploring and elucidating the properties of the molecules from their 3D structure. Hence, in the present study, molecular docking was carried out on reported polyphenols isolated from ethanolic extract of fruiting bodies of Phellinus baumii. The objective of this work was to study the interaction and to propose the binding mode of these compounds within the binding site of H1N1 neuraminidase. The results showed these compounds had better binding energy and H-bond interactions with the important active site residues of the receptor which authenticate these compounds contributes to inhibitory activity of neuraminidase to treat influenza infection.
