Discovery of natural CdnP inhibitors through structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations by Xiaoxia Gu, Chaohu Xiong, Xinyu Wang, Hucheng Zhu, Weiguang Sun, Yan He, Jinwen Zhang

“…ABSTRACT Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains one of the most lethal infectious diseases both historically and in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 era. CdnP (Rv2837c) functions as a bifunctional oligoribonuclease and 3′(2′)-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphate-phosphatase that impedes host immune responses by recognizing bacterial cyclic dinucleotides such as c-di-AMP, which serve as pathogen-associated molecular patterns. …”

Fate and risks of potentially toxic elements associated with lacustrine groundwater discharge: quantification, modeling, and biogeochemistry by Shen Qu, Juliang Wang, Keyi Zhang, Mengyu Fan, Yuanzhen Zhao, Xu Yang, Zhongli Wang, Helena I. Gomes, Rachel L. Gomes, Limin Duan, Shaogang Dong, Ruihong Yu

“…LGD-mediated fluxes, particularly Mn (1.71 ± 0.05 mg/m2/d) and Sr (8.63 ± 0.23 mg/m2/d), substantially influenced lake water quality. Microbial analysis revealed higher diversity (ace index = 1751 ± 577) in groundwater, while surface water PTE had a more pronounced impact on microbial functionality than groundwater (p < 0.001). …”

Isostatic Crustal Thickness Under The Tibetan Plateau And Himalayas From Satellite Gravity Gradiometry Data by Robert Tenzer, Mohammad Bagherbandi, Lars E Sjöberg, Pavel Novák

“…For this purpose, we solve the Vening Meinesz-Moritz’s (VMM) inverse problem of isostasy de ned in terms of the isostatic gravity gradient. The functional relation between the Moho depth and the second-order radial derivative of the VMM isostatic potential is formulated by means of the (linearized) Fredholm integral equation of the rst kind. …”
