Abstract
Data for: “Rational design, synthesis and in vitro neuroprotective evaluation of VP11, a candidate dual LRRK2/GSK3β ligand for Parkinson’s disease” This dataset supports a study of VP11 (N-(4-(4-chlorobenzamido)phenyl)picolinamide), a picolinamide designed in silico as a candidate ligand for leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β), then synthesised and tested in SH-SY5Y cells. Contents Library SMILES: SMILES of the designed virtual library, compiled from the authors’ tables (CSV), and of VP11. Some library entries are incomplete or duplicated; these are flagged in the files and described in the README. Docking: AutoDock Vina result tables for the primary hits and the optimised picolinamide series, plus configuration files, ligand PDBQT files, output poses and logs for GSK3β (PDB 9PE9) and LRRK2 (PDB 9C76). Spectra: raw and exported UV-Vis, FTIR, ¹H NMR and GC-MS data for VP11. Cell assays: raw absorbance and derived values for the MTT cytotoxicity assay, the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) concentration-response, and the neuroprotection assay in SH-SY5Y cells, including the four-parameter logistic fit. Synthesis: photographs of the synthesised compound and of a reagent. Molecular dynamics trajectories, GNINA poses and MM-GBSA/MM-PBSA files are not included in this version.

This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results show that the embedded industry has been able to apply agile methods in its development processes and that the appreciation of the agile methods and their individual practices appears to increase once adopted and applied in practice.

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
