The Role of Vanadium in Metallodrugs Design and Its Interactive Profile with Protein Targets by Otávio Augusto Chaves, Francisco Mainardi Martins, Carlos Serpa, Davi Fernando Back

“…Their design requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining principles of inorganic chemistry, pharmacology, and molecular biology to create effective and safe therapeutic agents. Vanadium, the element of the fifth group of the first transition series (3d metals), has been already detected as a crucial species in the biological action of some enzymes, e.g., nitrogenases and chloroperoxidase; furthermore, vanadium-based compounds have recently been described as physiologically stable with therapeutic behavior, e.g., having anticancer, antidiabetic (insulin-mimicking), antiprotozoal, antibacterial, antiviral, and inhibition of neurodegenerative disease properties. …”

Methodology for constructing digital twins in railway transport by D. V. Shevchenko

“…The introduction of digital twins technology into the life cycle of a freight car will increase economic efficiency throughout its life cycle.Effective use of the digital twin technology is possible only when an adequate virtual model of the space surrounding this physical object is created. In this regard, predicting the behavior of a structure during motion on the basis of a high-precision model of a digital twin of a physical object requires the creation of a virtual space in which a virtual operation area will be implemented, which provides the possibility of mathematical modeling of motion. …”
