A computational model to predict the structural and functional consequences of missense mutations in O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase by Thirumal Kumar, D

“…Considering true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives, three mutations (Y114E, R128G, and C145A) showed "loss of DNA repair activity," and were analyzed further using molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) using GROMACS for 50ns. MDS run showed that the C145A mutant demonstrated higher structural deviation, decreased compactness, and the binding patterns. …”

Influence of the heteroatom on the optoelectronic properties and transistor performance of soluble thiophene-, selenophene- and tellurophene-vinylene copolymers by Al-Hashimi, Mohammed

“…The optical band gap of the polymers is shown to systematically decrease as the size of the heteroatom is increased, mainly as a result of a stabilization of the LUMO energy, resulting in a small band gap of 1.4 eV for P3TeV. …”

Modelling the asymmetric responses of price level to oil price changes in Qatar by Mrabet, Zouhair

“…To achieve that, we proceed by employing a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach on data during the period 1990Q1-2014Q4. The estimation results show evidences of an incomplete and asymmetric influence of oil price on price level in the long term. …”
