Epidemiological studies revealed that the elderly and those with comorbidities are most susceptible to COVID-19. To understand how genetics affects the risk of COVID-19, we conducted a multi-instrument Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis and found that the genetic variation that supports a longer life is significantly associated with the lower ri...

Background Epidemiological studies revealed that the elderly and those with comorbidities are most affected by COVID-19, but it is important to investigate shared genetic mechanisms between COVID-19 risk and aging. Methods We conducted a multi-instrument Mendelian Randomization analysis of multiple lifespan-related traits and COVID-19. Aging clock...

Introduction: Despite associated with multiple geriatric disorders, whether housing type, an indicator of socioeconomic status (SES) and environmental factors, is associated with accelerated biological aging is unknown. Furthermore, although individuals with low-SES have higher body mass index (BMI) and are more likely to smoke, whether BMI and sm...

We investigated the dynamic properties of the organism state fluctuations along individual aging trajectories in a large longitudinal database of CBC measurements from a consumer diagnostics laboratory. To simplify the analysis, we used a log-linear mortality estimate from the CBC variables as a single quantitative measure of the aging process, hen...

Full-text available
Biological age acceleration (BAA) models based on blood tests or DNA methylation emerge as a de facto standard for quantitative characterizations of the aging process. We demonstrate that deep neural networks trained to predict morbidity risk from wearable sensor data can provide a high-quality and cheap alternative for BAA determination. The GeroS...

Epidemiological studies have revealed that the elderly and those with co-morbidities are most susceptible to COVID-19. To understand the genetic link between aging and the risk of COVID-19, we conducted a multi-instrument Mendelian randomization analysis and found that the genetic variation that leads to a longer lifespan is significantly associate...

We carried out a systematic investigation of supervised learning techniques for biological age modeling. The biological aging acceleration is associated with the remaining health- and life-span. Artificial Deep Neural Networks (DNN) could be used to reduce the error of chronological age predictors, though often at the expense of the ability to dist...

We analyzed aging trajectories of complete blood counts (CBC) and their association with the incidence of chronic diseases and death in cohorts of aging individuals registered in the UK Biobank and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) studies. Application of a proportional hazards model to the CBC data allowed us to identify th...

We performed a systematic evaluation of the relationships between locomotor activity and signatures of frailty, morbidity, and mortality risks using physical activity records from the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and UK BioBank (UKB). We proposed a statistical description of the locomotor activity tracks and t...

Age-related physiological changes in humans are linearly associated with age. Naturally, linear combinations of physiological measures trained to estimate chronological age have recently emerged as a practical way to quantify aging in the form of biological age. In this work, we used one-week long physical activity records from a 2003–2006 National...

Glycolysis lies at the basis of metabolism and cell energy supply. The disregulation of glycolysis is involved in such pathological processes as cancer proliferation, neurodegenerative diseases, and amplification of ischemic damage. Phosphofructokinase-2 (PFK-2), a bifunctional enzyme and regulator of glycolytic flux, has recently emerged as a prom...

Studies of lateral heterogeneity in cell membranes are important since they help to understand the physical origin of lipid domains and rafts. The simplest membrane mimics are hydrated bilayers composed of saturated and unsaturated lipids. While their atomic structural details resist easy experimental characterization, important insight can be gain...
Article
Knowledge of the spatial structure of complexes formed by cellular proteins and membrane receptors with their respective ligands is an important step towards understanding the mechanisms of their functioning. Rational drug design and the search for new therapeutically active compounds also require structural information on the interaction of protot...
Article
Knowledge of 3D-structure of protein-ligand complex is a major prerequisite for understanding the functioning mechanism of cellular proteins and membrane receptors. This is also of a great help in rational drug design projects. In the present paper we briefly review the molecular docking approaches used to predict possible orientation of a ligand i...
Article
The adrenergic receptors mediate a wide variety of physiological responses, including vasodilatation and vasoconstriction, heart rate modulation, and others. Beta-adrenergic antagonists ('beta-blockers') thus constitute a widely used class of drugs in cardiovascular medicine as well as in management of anxiety, migraine, and glaucoma. The importanc...

Computational techniques designed to predict the spatial structure of ligand—receptor complexes (molecular docking) are widely used in investigations of molecular details of protein functioning and in drug design. Here, a brief review of docking methods is given and recent advances in improvement of their accuracy and efficiency are discussed. Two...

The PLATINUM (Protein–Ligand ATtractions Investigation NUMerically) web service is designed for analysis and visualization of hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties of biomolecules supplied as 3D-structures. Furthermore, PLATINUM provides a number of tools for quantitative characterization of the hydrophobic/hydrophilic match in biomolecular complexes...
Article
Molecular docking is a powerful computational method that has been widely used in many biomolecular studies to predict geometry of a protein-ligand complex. However, while its conformational search algorithms are usually able to generate correct conformation of a ligand in the binding site, the scoring methods often fail to discriminate it among ma...

ATP is involved in numerous biochemical reactions in living cells interacting withdifferent proteins. Molecular docking simulations provide considerable insight into theproblem of molecular recognition of this substrate. To improve the selection of correctATP poses among those generated by docking algorithms we propose a post-docking rerankingcrite...
Article
Most standard molecular docking algorithms take into account only ligand flexibility, while numerous studies demonstrate that receptor flexibility may be also important. While some efficient methods have been proposed to take into account local flexibility of protein side chains, the influence of large-scale domain motions on the docking results st...

Hydrophobic interactions play a key role in the folding and maintenance of the 3-dimensional structure of proteins, as well as in the binding of ligands (e.g. drugs) to protein targets. Therefore, quantitative assessment of spatial hydrophobic (lipophilic) properties of these molecules is indispensable for the development of efficient computational...
Article
ATP is an important substrate of numerous biochemical reactions in living cells. Molecular recognition of this ligand by proteins is very important for understanding enzymatic mechanisms. Considerable insight into the problem may be gained via molecular docking simulations. At the same time, standard docking protocols are often insufficient to pred...
