DeepM6ASeq-EL: prediction of human N6-methyladenosine (m6A) sites with LSTM and ensemble learning

Juntao Chen et al.

Summary: N6-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is a prevalent methylation modification that is related to common diseases such as cancer, tumors, and obesity. Accurate prediction of m(6)A methylation sites in RNA sequences has become a critical issue in bioinformatics. Researchers developed an m(6)A site predictor called DeepM6ASeq-EL, which integrates LSTM and CNN classifiers with the strategy of hard voting. However, its accuracy in m(6)A site prediction is lower compared to the state-of-the-art method WHISTLE.

Gold nanoclusters as prospective carriers and detectors of pramipexole

Nguyen Thanh Si et al.

Summary: In this study, theoretical investigations were conducted on the interactions between pramipexole (PPX) and gold clusters, revealing that PPX mainly binds to gold clusters via its nitrogen atom of the thiazole ring. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of PPX on gold surfaces showed that Au-6 and Au-20 clusters may be more conducive to electrical conversion for drug detection. The findings suggest potential applications in building gold nanostructures for practical trials.
