The concentrations of 40K, 228Ra, 226Ra were 0.64-2.72 Bq/l, 0.05-0.08 Bq/l and 0.15-0.22 Bq/l, respectively. These values were compared to the concentrations of the corresponding radionuclides in studies from Jordan and near countries. The annual effective doses ($D_\mathrmeff$) due to the intake of 40K, 228Ra and 226Ra, for the different age groups were calculated. The highest $D_\mathrmeff$ values due to the intake of 226Ra and 228Ra were found in the infants age group, whereas the lowest were found in the adults age group in every site. The annual effective doses in this study were compared to the committed annual effective doses from ingestion in UNSCEAR. The annual effective doses in this study were much higher than the committed values in UNSCEAR. The life time risk for radiation-induced cancer for the whole population was calculated for every sample and it revealed no extra risk over the one recommended by WHO.The properties of the drug may be altered by the combination, which may cause unexpected drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Gamcemetinib price Prediction of DDIs provides combination strategies of drugs for systematic and effective treatment. In most of deep learning-based methods for predicting DDI, encoded information about the drugs is insufficient in some extent, which limits the performances of DDIs prediction. In this work, we propose a novel attention-mechanism-based multidimensional feature encoder for DDIs prediction, namely attention-based multidimensional feature encoder (AMDE). Specifically, in AMDE, we encode drug features from multiple dimensions, including information from both Simplified Molecular-Input Line-Entry System sequence and atomic graph of the drug. Data experiments are conducted on DDI data set selected from Drugbank, involving a total of 34 282 DDI relationships with 17 141 positive DDI samples and 17 141 negative samples. Experimental results show that our AMDE performs better than some state-of-the-art baseline methods, including Random Forest, One-Dimension Convolutional Neural Networks, DeepDrug, Long Short-Term Memory, Seq2seq, Deepconv, DeepDDI, Graph Attention Networks and Knowledge Graph Neural Networks. In practice, we select a set of 150 drugs with 3723 DDIs, which are never appeared in training, validation and test sets. AMDE performs well in DDIs prediction task, with AUROC and AUPRC 0.981 and 0.975. As well, we use Torasemide (DB00214) as an example and predict the most likely drug to interact with it. The top 15 scores all have been reported with clear interactions in literatures.Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases play important roles in metabolism. Here, we report the identification and biochemical characterization of P450CHC, a novel self-sufficient cytochrome P450, from cyclohexanecarboxylate-degrading Paraburkholderia terrae KU-64. P450CHC was found to comprise a [2Fe-2S] ferredoxin domain, NAD(P)H-dependent FAD-containing reductase domain, FCD domain, and cytochrome P450 domain (in that order from the N terminus). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results indicated that the P450CHC-encoding chcA gene was inducible by cyclohexanecarboxylate. chcA overexpression in Escherichia coli and recombinant protein purification enabled functional characterization of P450CHC as a catalytically self-sufficient cytochrome P450 that hydroxylates cyclohexanecarboxylate. link2 Kinetic analysis indicated that P450CHC largely preferred NADH (Km = 0.011 m m) over NADPH (Km = 0.21 m m). The Kd, Km, and kcat values for cyclohexanecarboxylate were 0.083 m m, 0.084 m m, and 15.9 s-1, respectively. The genetic and biochemical analyses indicated that the physiological role of P450CHC is initial hydroxylation in the cyclohexanecarboxylate degradation pathway.In this study, a positive charged C18 column was used to explore its performance in analysis of herbal medicines containing alkaloids and flavonoids with Nelumbinis Folium (NF) as an example. A chromatographic fingerprint analysis method was established by high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector with commonly used 0.1% formic acid as mobile phase additive and this method could simultaneously detect both alkaloids and flavonoids with good peak shape. It is noted that the HPLC conditions were directly applied in the HPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS analysis, and 12 common peaks were identified. In the quantification method of nuciferine, compared with common C18 column, good performance was observed, including sharp and symmetric peak shape of nuciferine, and no obvious retention time shift in chromatogram. The fingerprint method and quantification method of nuciferine and quercetin-3-O-glucuronic acid could be readily utilized as quality control methods for NF and its related preparations.Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a technique used to identify protein-DNA interaction sites through antibody pull-down, sequencing and analysis; with enrichment 'peak' calling being the most critical analytical step. Benchmarking studies have consistently shown that peak callers have distinct selectivity and specificity characteristics that are not additive and seldom completely overlap in many scenarios, even after parameter optimization. We therefore developed ChIP-AP, an integrated ChIP-seq analysis pipeline utilizing four independent peak callers, which seamlessly processes raw sequencing files to final result. This approach enables (1) better gauging of peak confidence through detection by multiple algorithms, and (2) more thoroughly surveys the binding landscape by capturing peaks not detected by individual callers. Final analysis results are then integrated into a single output table, enabling users to explore their data by applying selectivity and sensitivity thresholds that best address their biological questions, without needing any additional reprocessing. ChIP-AP therefore presents investigators with a more comprehensive coverage of the binding landscape without requiring additional wet-lab observations.The outbreak of COVID-19 caused by SARS-coronavirus (CoV)-2 has made millions of deaths since 2019. Although a variety of computational methods have been proposed to repurpose drugs for treating SARS-CoV-2 infections, it is still a challenging task for new viruses, as there are no verified virus-drug associations (VDAs) between them and existing drugs. To efficiently solve the cold-start problem posed by new viruses, a novel constrained multi-view nonnegative matrix factorization (CMNMF) model is designed by jointly utilizing multiple sources of biological information. With the CMNMF model, the similarities of drugs and viruses can be preserved from their own perspectives when they are projected onto a unified latent feature space. Based on the CMNMF model, we propose a deep learning method, namely VDA-DLCMNMF, for repurposing drugs against new viruses. VDA-DLCMNMF first initializes the node representations of drugs and viruses with their corresponding latent feature vectors to avoid a random initialization and then applies graph convolutional network to optimize their representations. link3 Given an arbitrary drug, its probability of being associated with a new virus is computed according to their representations. To evaluate the performance of VDA-DLCMNMF, we have conducted a series of experiments on three VDA datasets created for SARS-CoV-2. Experimental results demonstrate that the promising prediction accuracy of VDA-DLCMNMF. Moreover, incorporating the CMNMF model into deep learning gains new insight into the drug repurposing for SARS-CoV-2, as the results of molecular docking experiments reveal that four antiviral drugs identified by VDA-DLCMNMF have the potential ability to treat SARS-CoV-2 infections.Plants possess many glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1) β-glucosidases, which physiologically function in cell wall metabolism and activation of bioactive substances, but most remain uncharacterized. One GH1 isoenzyme AtBGlu42 in Arabidopsis thaliana has been identified to hydrolyze scopolin using the gene deficient plants, but no enzymatic properties were obtained. Its sequence similarity to another functionally characterized enzyme Os1BGlu4 in rice suggests that AtBGlu42 also acts on oligosaccharides. Here, we show that the recombinant AtBGlu42 possesses high kcat/Km not only on scopolin, but also on various β-glucosides, cellooligosaccharides, and laminarioligosaccharides. Of the cellooligosaccharides, cellotriose was the most preferred. The crystal structure, determined at 1.7 Å resolution, suggests that Arg342 gives unfavorable binding to cellooligosaccharides at subsite +3. The mutants R342Y and R342A showed the highest preference on cellotetraose or cellopentaose with increased affinities at subsite +3, indicating that the residues at this position have an important role for chain length specificity.A sensitive, simple, rapid and robust LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of potential genotoxic impurities OPDA HCl (orthophenylene diamine dihydrochloride), bromo OTBN (4'-bromomethyl-2-cyanobiphenyl), dibromo (4'(dibromomethyl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carbonitrile) in Telmisartan by using ESI-MS/MS Technic; the study was performed with gradient elution (time/% mobile phase B 0/10, 3/10, 30/80, 35/80, 36/10, 40/10). The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of formic acid, methanol and acetonitrile. The buffer was degassed before running at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was at 40°C. The 20 μL volume of sample was injected per run and peaks were detected using DAD detector. The LC-ESI/MS/MS studies were carried out on Ultivo Triple Quadrupole LC/MS/MS (Agilent, USA) G6470A mass spectrometer, ion source voltage 3500 V, de clustering potential 40 V, entrance potential 10 V, with the nebulizer gas as nitrogen at 45 psi. The LC part consisted of Agilent 1260 series HPLC system with binary gradient pump with a degasser and an auto sampler. Inert sustain AQ-C18, 250 × 4.6 mm, 5-μm particle size was used for chromatographic separation. Developed method is validated as per ICH guidelines and found to be linear, accurate, specific, selective, precise and robust. Test solution was found to be stable up to 48 h. This method can be successfully applied for the determination of genotoxic impurities in Telmisarta for routine analysis and stability assessment.Complex sequential behaviors, such as speaking or playing music, entail flexible rule-based chaining of single acts. However, it remains unclear how the brain translates abstract structural rules into movements. We combined music production with multimodal neuroimaging to dissociate high-level structural and low-level motor planning. Pianists played novel musical chord sequences on a muted MR-compatible piano by imitating a model hand on screen. Chord sequences were manipulated in terms of musical harmony and context length to assess structural planning, and in terms of fingers used for playing to assess motor planning. A model of probabilistic sequence processing confirmed temporally extended dependencies between chords, as opposed to local dependencies between movements. Violations of structural plans activated the left inferior frontal and middle temporal gyrus, and the fractional anisotropy of the ventral pathway connecting these two regions positively predicted behavioral measures of structural planning.
