HLA variation and antigen presentation in COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 infection

Danillo G. Augusto et al.

Summary: The extraordinary variation of HLA molecules is critical for the immune response in COVID-19, but still not fully understood. Studies have found associations between HLA variants and different outcomes of COVID-19, as well as differential immune responses against SARS-CoV-2. Mutations in viral strains, particularly in the Spike protein, affect the affinity between mutant peptides and HLA molecules. Understanding the impact of this variation on T-cell responses is crucial for comprehending the immunogenic mechanisms.

Computationally predicting binding affinity in protein-ligand complexes: free energy-based simulations and machine learning-based scoring functions

Debby D. Wang et al.

Summary: This paper reviews two classes of methods for accurately predicting protein-ligand binding affinities: free energy-based simulations and machine learning-based scoring functions. It follows thermodynamic cycles for the former and a feature-representation taxonomy for the latter. Additionally, recent deep learning-based predictions are also discussed, with comparisons of strengths, weaknesses, and future directions for improvements.

Towards Eradication of Malaria: Is the WHO's RTS,S/AS01 Vaccination Effective Enough?

Navneet Arora et al.

Summary: The RTS,S/AS01 vaccine is safe and immunogenic in children, but has modest efficacy against clinical malaria and requires a booster dose for improved protection. Its cost-effectiveness and potential public health impact are being assessed for wider deployment.
