A multimodal Transformer Network for protein-small molecule interactions enhances predictions of kinase inhibition and enzyme-substrate relationships

by Alexander Kroll, Sahasra Ranjan, Martin J. Lercher

The activities of most enzymes and drugs depend on interactions between proteins and small molecules. Accurate prediction of these interactions could greatly accelerate pharmaceutical and biotechnological research. Current machine learning models designed for this task have a limited ability to generalize beyond the proteins used for training. This limitation is likely due to a lack of information exchange between the protein and the small... Читать дальше...

Simple visual stimuli are sufficient to drive responses in action observation and execution neurons in macaque ventral premotor cortex

by Sofie De Schrijver, Thomas Decramer, Peter Janssen

Neurons responding during action execution and action observation were discovered in the ventral premotor cortex 3 decades ago. However, the visual features that drive the responses of action observation/execution neurons (AOENs) have not been revealed at present. We investigated the neural responses of AOENs in ventral premotor area F5c of 4 macaques during the observation of action videos and crucial control stimuli. The large majority... Читать дальше...

The promise and pitfalls of synteny in phylogenomics

by Jacob L. Steenwyk, Nicole King

Reconstructing the tree of life remains a central goal in biology. Early methods, which relied on small numbers of morphological or genetic characters, often yielded conflicting evolutionary histories, undermining confidence in the results. Investigations based on phylogenomics, which use hundreds to thousands of loci for phylogenetic inquiry, have provided a clearer picture of life’s history, but certain branches remain problematic. To resolve difficult nodes on the tree of life... Читать дальше...

No, Mises Was not Wrong about the Middle of the Road

Ludwig von Mises was ridiculed for his assertion that “middle of the road” leads to socialism in the end. As the federal government swallows increasing amounts of the economy, we see that Mises was right.

Doctor Who's New Era Just Got Its First Banger

Shogun Is Going Off-Book for a Second Season. Is FX Making a Mistake?

Shogun is the best thing that ever happened to Hulu.

It currently sits in the number one spot as the most-watched program in FX's history, backed by massive critical acclaim.

It doesn't begin or end there, either. The book, published in 1975, was also a massive hit, as was the succeeding 1980s TV mini-series.

Since the release of the most recent iteration, television critics and reviewers have brushed off the idea of a second season, much less a third.
