Estimation of the breadth of CD4bs targeting HIV antibodies by molecular modeling and machine learning

Simone Conti; Martin Karplus

PLOS Computational Biology, Vol. 15 No. 4 · 2019 · English · PLOS Scopus

HIV is a highly mutable virus for which all attempts to develop a vaccine have been unsuccessful. Nevertheless, few long-infected patients develop antibodies, called broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), that have a high breadth and can neutralize multiple variants of the virus. This suggests…

CULTURAL AND IDENTITARY TRANSLATION: FOUR VIEWS ON THE RAVEN

Simone Conti de Oliveira

Travessias, Vol. 5 No. 2 · 2011 · Portuguese · DOAJ

This article intends to make considerations about The Raven, a poem by Edgar Allan Poe, from the translations made by four famous authors: Machado de Assis, Fernando Pessoa, Stphane Mallarm and Charles Baudelaire. Some perceptions reached were that, although the translations made by Machado and…

Smart Biomechanical Adaptation Revealed by the Structure of Ostrich Limb Bones

Simone Conti; Giuseppe Sala; Octavio Mateus

Biomimetics, Vol. 8 No. 1 · 2023 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Ostriches are known to be the fastest bipedal animal alive; to accomplish such an achievement, their anatomy evolved to sustain the stresses imposed by running at such velocities. Ostriches represent an excellent case study due to the fact that their locomotor kinematics have been extensively…

MIRAGAIA TAIL BIOMECHANICS AND DEFENCES. EVALUATION OF THE TAIL MOBILITY AND RESISTANCE TO LOADINGS AND COLLISIONS.

Francesco Lategano; SIMONE CONTI; FRANCESCA LOZAR

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, Vol. 130 No. 2 · 2024 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Thyreophora is a taxon of dinosaurs composed of Stegosauria and Ankylosauria, whose members have been known to utilise their tails as powerful defensive weapons. Remains of these dinosaurs are scarce; the Portuguese taxon, Miragaia longicollum, known from three individuals, provides precious pieces…

On the Rapid Calculation of Binding Affinities for Antigen and Antibody Design and Affinity Maturation Simulations

Simone Conti; Edmond Y. Lau; Victor Ovchinnikov

Antibodies, Vol. 11 No. 3 · 2022 · English · DOAJ Scopus

The accurate and efficient calculation of protein-protein binding affinities is an essential component in antibody and antigen design and optimization, and in computer modeling of antibody affinity maturation. Such calculations remain challenging despite advances in computer hardware and…

ANÁLISE DO PAPEL SEMÂNTICO DO SUJEITO ATUANDO EM DIFERENTES TEXTOS

Simone Conti de Oliveira; Gabriela severo do Amaral

Travessias, Vol. 5 No. 1 · 2011 · Portuguese · DOAJ

The PCNEM (National Curricular Parameters of High School) (1999, p. 141), guide that the language must be within the human relations, in which the student is inserted. There is no language divorced from the lived social context. In this sense, the present paper aims at analyzing the role of the…

Natural Solid Cosmetics: Innovative Water-in-Oil Emulsions

Simone Conti; Luigi Padovano; Miryam Chiara Malacarne et al.

Cosmetics, Vol. 13 No. 1 · 2026 · English · DOAJ Scopus

The formulation of solid cosmetic products with elevated water content poses considerable challenges, particularly in the context of lip care products, where water contributes to hydration, enhances texture, and facilitates the dissolution of hydrophilic active ingredients. Conventionally, these…

GC–MS-Based Compositional Profiling of Cosmetic Plant Waxes Using Solvent-Dependent Extraction

Miryam Chiara Malacarne; Manuela Loiacono; Simone Conti et al.

Analytica, Vol. 7 No. 3 · 2026 · English · DOAJ Scopus

The utilisation of cosmetic plant waxes as sustainable functional ingredients in personal care formulations is on the rise. This is due to their emollient, structuring and film-forming properties. Nevertheless, the intricate lipid composition of these substances engenders considerable analytical…

Wordom update 2: A user-friendly program for the analysis of molecular structures and conformational ensembles

Angelo Felline; Simone Conti; Michele Seeber et al.

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, Vol. 21 · 2023 · English · DOAJ Scopus

We present the second update of Wordom, a user-friendly and efficient program for manipulation and analysis of conformational ensembles from molecular simulations. The actual update expands some of the existing modules and adds 21 new modules to the update 1 published in 2011. The new adds can be…

Investigating the Behavior of a Natural Emulsifier in One-Pot and Standard Cosmetic Emulsions

Mauro Battaiotto; Paolo Sonzini; Simone Conti et al.

Cosmetics, Vol. 12 No. 4 · 2025 · English · DOAJ Scopus

The cosmetic industry is growing at an impressive rate worldwide. In the cosmetic field, natural-origin ingredients represent the new frontier in this industry. Among the main components of cosmetics, lipids, emulsifiers, rheological modifiers, preservatives, colorants, and antioxidants can be…

Multiscale affinity maturation simulations to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV

Simone Conti; Victor Ovchinnikov; Jonathan G. Faris et al.

PLOS Computational Biology, Vol. 18 No. 4 · 2022 · English · PLOS Scopus

The design of vaccines against highly mutable pathogens, such as HIV and influenza, requires a detailed understanding of how the adaptive immune system responds to encountering multiple variant antigens (Ags). Here, we describe a multiscale model of B cell receptor (BCR) affinity maturation that…

Multibody analysis and soft tissue strength refute supersonic dinosaur tail

Simone Conti; Emanuel Tschopp; Octávio Mateus et al.

Scientific Reports, Vol. 12 No. 1 · 2022 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Abstract Sauropod dinosaurs are well known for their massive sizes and long necks and tails. Among sauropods, flagellicaudatan dinosaurs are characterized by extreme tail elongation, which has led to hypotheses regarding tail function, often compared to a whip. Here, we analyse the dynamics of…
