Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Synthetic oligomers of the antigenic Candida albicans (1-->2)-beta-mannopyranans adopt a compact solution conformation that leads to numerous inter-residue nuclear Overhauser effects, including unprecedented nuclear Overhauser effects between n and n + 3 residues. In excellent agreement with experimentally determined distances, unrestrained molecular dynamics point to a single family of conformations that approximate a compact helical motif with a three-residue repeat for this unique homopolymer. When the synthetic di- to hexasaccharides were employed as inhibitors of monoclonal antibodies, which protect mice against a lethal dose of the yeast pathogen, a novel pattern of inhibitor activity was observed. Instead of the paradigm first reported by Kabat (Kabat, E. A. (1962) Fed. Proc. 21, 694-701; Kabat, E. A. (1966) J. Immunol. 97, 1-11), wherein homo-oligosaccharides exhibit increasing inhibitory activity with increasing size, here the maximum activity is reached for di- and trisaccharides and diminishes significantly for tetra-, penta-, and hexasaccharides. These immunochemical data correlate with the ordered conformation of the beta-1,2-linked mannopyranan and imply that a uniquely small antigenic determinant has potential as a component of synthetic conjugate vaccines against Candida albicans.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
