Shielding cognition from nociception with working memory.

Because pain often signals the occurrence of potential tissue damage, nociceptive stimuli have the capacity to capture attention and interfere with ongoing cognitive activities. Working memory is known to guide the orientation of attention by maintaining goal priorities active during the achievement of a task. This study investigated whether the cortical processing of nociceptive stimuli and th...

Natural chemical shielding analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance shielding tensors from gauge-including atomic orbital calculations

Nuclear magnetic shielding tensors computed by the gauge including atomic orbital ~GIAO! method in the Hartree–Fock self-consistent-field ~HF-SCF! framework are partitioned into magnetic contributions from chemical bonds and lone pairs by means of natural chemical shielding ~NCS! analysis, an extension of natural bond orbital ~NBO! analysis. NCS analysis complements the description provided by ...

Investigation of solvent effect and NMR shielding tensors of p53 tumor-suppressor gene in drug design

The p53 tumor-suppressor gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein with cancer- inhibiting properties. The most probable cancerous mutations occur as point mutations in exons 5 up to 8 of p53, as a base pair substitution that encompasses CUA and GAT sequences. As DNA drug design represents a direct genetic treatment of cancer, in the research reported computational drug design was carried out to ex...
