    Abstract Alzheimer's disease represents one of the most ambitious challenges for biomedical sciences due to the growing number of cases worldwide in the elderly population and the lack of efficient treatments. One of the recent attempts to develop a treatment points to the cysteine protease RgpB as a promising drug target. In this attempt, several small-molecule covalent inhibitors of this enzyme have been proposed. Here, we report a computational study at the atomic level of the inhibition mechanism of the most promising reported compounds. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on six of them, and their binding energies in the active site of the protein were computed. Contact maps and interaction energies were decomposed by residues to disclose those key interactions with the enzyme. Finally, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to evaluate the reaction mechanism by which these drug candidates lead to covalently bound complexes, inhibiting the RgpB protease. The results provide a guide for future re-design of prospective and efficient inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

    Abstract Problematic Internet use has become a major problem worldwide due to its numerous negative correlates in the field of health, both mental and physical, and its increasing prevalence, making it necessary to study both its risk and protective factors. Several studies have found a negative relationship between resilience and problematic Internet use, although the results are inconsistent. This meta-analysis assesses the relationship between problematic Internet use and resilience, and analyses its possible moderating variables. A systematic search was conducted in PsycInfo, Web of Science and Scopus. A total of 93,859 subjects from 19 studies were included in the analyses. The results show that there is a statistically-significant negative relationship (

    Abstract The retro-aldolase mechanism of methodol catalysed by the catalytic antibody 33F12 is described based on the exploration of the free energy landscape obtained with QM/MM methods. The amino acids involved in the reaction have been identified, as well as their specific role played in the active site and in the flexibility of the loops. Finally, the comparison with a de novo enzyme RA95.5-8F provides a deeper understanding of catalytic differences between such different protein scaffolds.

    Abstract The well-being of people is a key aspect of the field of psychology. Hence, it is important to analyse the variables that are related to life satisfaction and happiness as perceived by individuals and that, therefore, increase their overall well-being. The main objective of this study was to analyse the predictive capacity of emotional intelligence and perceived social support on both the level of life satisfaction and perceived happiness. A total of 380 psychology students completed the Trait Meta Mood Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Subjective Happiness Scale. The results show that both emotional intelligence and social support are related to and predictive of subjective happiness and life satisfaction. The importance of developing the components of emotional intelligence and promoting an adequate social network in young people is highlighted.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease represents one of the greatest medical concerns for today's population and health services. Its multifactorial inherent nature represents a challenge for its treatment and requires the development of a broad spectrum of drugs. Recently, the cysteine protease gingipain RgpB has been related to neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, and its inhibition appears to be a promising neuroprotective strategy. Given these features, a computational study that integrates molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with classical and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) potentials was carried out to unravel the atomistic details of RgpB activity. First, a preliminary study based on principal component analysis (PCA), determined the protonation state of the Cys/His catalytic dyad, as well as the crucial role of a flexible loop that favors reactive interactions of the catalytic residues and the peptide in the precatalytic state in its closed conformation. Then, different mechanisms were explored by means of QM/MM MD simulations. The most favorable mechanism consists of two stages. First is an acylation stage that takes place in two steps where, initially, the sulfur atom of the C244 residue attacks the carbonylic carbon of the peptide and the proton of the C244 residue is transferred to the amino group of the peptide in a concerted manner. Subsequently, the peptide bond is broken, and a fragment of the peptide is released. After that, the deacylation stage takes place in a single step where a water molecule attacks the carbonylic carbon of the peptide and a proton of the water is transferred to the C244 residue. The free energy barrier of the rate limiting step is in very good agreement with available experimental data. The mechanism exhibits an unusual role of H211 residue compared with other cysteine proteases but a crucial role of the peptide in triggering the catalysis. Notably, the atomic and energetic particularities found represent a significant contribution to the comprehension of the reaction mechanism and a great opportunity for the design of efficient inhibitors of gingipain RgpB.
