Genetic Algorithms for the Discovery of Homogeneous Catalysts

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Puck Elisabeth van Gerwen, Alexandre Alain Schöpfer, Simone Gallarati

In this account, we discuss the use of genetic algorithms in the inverse design process of homogeneous catalysts for chemical transformations. We describe the main components of evolutionary experiments, specifically the nature of the fitness function to o ...

Technology Mapping Using Multi-output Library Cells

Giovanni De Micheli, Alessandro Tempia Calvino

Technology mapping transforms a technology-independent representation into a technology-dependent one given a library of cells. Even if technology libraries contain multi-output cells, state-of-the-art techniques fully exploit single-output cells only. Mul ...

Design of an artificial phage-display library based on a new scaffold improved for average stability of the randomized proteins

Ghérici Hassaïne

Scaffold-based protein libraries are designed to be both diverse and rich in functional/folded proteins. However, introducing an extended diversity while preserving stability of the initial scaffold remains a challenge. Here we developed an original approa ...

PMT: Power Measurement Toolkit

Emma Elizabeth Tolley, Stefano Corda

Efficient use of energy is essential for today's supercomputing systems, as energy cost is generally a major component of their operational cost. Research into "green computing" is needed to reduce the environmental impact of running these systems. As such ...

De novo developed small cyclic peptides that are orally available

Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides are ring-shaped molecules that emerged as a promising class of therapeutics. While it is often difficult to find small molecule binders for challenging disease targets, cyclic peptides can bind to featureless surfaces or inhibit protein-pro ...

Generating macrocyclic inhibitors of protein-protein interactions

Gontran Sangouard

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many diseases and their modulation is an attractive strategy for developing new therapeutics. However, the relatively large and often flat binding surfaces of PPIs makes the development of inhibit ...

Patron-Driven Acquisition et Evidence-Based Acquisition: Comment implémenter ces modèles afin d’étendre l’offre documentaire dans une bibliothèque ?

Marion Favre, Manon Velasco

Nowadays, usage-based acquisition models for e-books, as PDA and EBA, are quite spread and allow libraries to offer wider collections, without acquiring them. A PDA with Ebook Central was implemented in 2019 and a first EBA with Wiley in 2021. The EPFL Lib ...

Methods for the generation of large combinatorial macrocycle libraries

Sevan Mleh Habeshian

Macrocycles are an attractive class of molecules due to their good binding properties and yet rather small size that allows, in many cases, crossing membranes to reach intracellular targets. In comparison to classical small molecule drugs, macrocycles are ...

Archiving the Leftovers of Science: Metadata and Histories of Scientific Institutions

Alina Volynskaya

In this article, I focus on digital scientific archives which are made up of the leftovers of science, such as drafts, obsolete instruments, photographs, documentation, etc. The artifacts exhibited in such collections were neither meant to be representatio ...

Radical Intangibles: Materializing the Ephemeral

Sarah Irene Brutton Kenderdine, Lillian Hibberd, Jeffrey Shaw

New materialism considers that the world and its histories are produced by a range of material forces that extend from the physical and the biological to the psychological, social and cultural. In recognizing that heritage is not held in objects alone, new ...
