Computational insights into the allosteric behavior of mini proinsulin driven by C peptide mobility by Esra Ayan

“…Mini-proinsulin analogs were engineered by replacing the 33-residue C-peptide with a pentapeptide sequence to improve refolding. The three-dimensional structure of mini-proinsulin was predicted using AlphaFold and performed docking analysis of mini-proinsulin analogs to the insulin receptor using AutoDock Tools, with comparisons made to previously available NMR-determined analog and the native insulin-insulin receptor complex. …”

A World Information Strategy for the Future by Steve Fuller

“…This paper divides the strategy into three parts: (1) the globalization of English (i.e., the dominance of non-native over native speakers); (2) undiscovered public knowledge (i.e., the vast number of academic publications that are underutilized); and (3) precipitatory governance (i.e., innovation for a world where current default settings of information flows are bound to change).…”
