Welcome From Chairs
Headquarters and Supporters
MOL2NET runs both online and/or in person workshops in host universities worldwide and at the SciForum platform maintained by the editorial MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The Scientific Headquarters (HQs) of this conference series are in the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Biscay. However, the idea of this multidisciplinary conference emerged from the melting pot formed as the result of multiple collaborations of professors from many centers worldwide. Locally, the founders and strongest supporters of the conference are professors endowed by IKERBASQUE, Basque Foundation for Sciences, professors from the two departments Department of Organic Chemistry I and Department of Organic Chemistry II of the University of Basque Country (UPV/EHU), and professors from the Department of Computer Sciences of the University of Coruña (UDC).
Internationally, professors from Dept of Biological Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology (BCMP), Harvard Medical School, USA; the Center for the Study of Biological Complexity of the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), USA; the Natural Resources Research Institute, of the University of Minnesota, USA; CNRS-Université Paris-Sud, Paris, France, and other institutions are also founders and/or supporters of this conference, please see full committees lists [Honor Committee] [Co-Chairs Committee] [Scientific Committee (Abroad)] [Scientific Committee (Local)] and [MOL2NET-IKERBASQUE Staff].
Conference Lemma
The acronym MOL2NET summarizes the running title of this conference: FROM MOLECULES TO NETWORKS. This lemma is inspired by the possibility of spreading the knowledge about multiple topics by promoting multidisciplinary collaborations in science with conferences including topics ranging from quantum world to large social networks. In this sense, the spirit of this conference is in consonance with the lemma EMAN TA ZABAL ZAZU (Give and extend knowledge). This anthem from the 19th century is written in Basque language (Euskera) and is used now a days as the official motto of the University of Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
USEDAT Summer School
Contents Veracity & Authors Liability
MOL2NET conference is an online platform for early publication of preliminary results. In this sense, most of MOL2NET workshops do not preform peer-review of materials to be published by external referees. Consequently, the modality of publication is ore similar to a pre-print server where authors can post early versions of their results to obtain feedback from the community. In addition, authors can upload also short communications with post-publication discussion of results already published in other media. In all cases, the authors are personally responsible, to perform a similarity checking , ensure veracity of contents, and carry out a proper citation of previous works.
In concordance, the members of MOL2NET committee are not responsible of aspects like veracity, similarity, copyright, etc. in this publishing modality. Consequently, the opinions expressed on the communications are not necessarily coincident to the opinions of the members of the committees. In this sense, we strongly recommend the authors to use online text-similarity checking services, such as Turnitin, etc., if possible. These tools may help authors to avoid any form of plagiarism or copyright violation. The authors may be requested to modify the communication (re-write their texts) previous or posterior to publication in the case that high similarity, veracity, or other problems are detected and reported to the committee. In these cases, the manuscript could be put on standby or withdrawn temporarily until the authors re-submit the proper version. The authors are also allowed to submit short reviews, comments, letters, or discussions of papers already published if they guarantee sufficient difference to previous public contents.
Sessions & Workshops
You can participate both online or in person (face-to-face) in some of the workshops we organize in different universities worldwide (see sessions in the conference menu). Publication of all communications of the workshops will be online via the platform SciForum. We welcome proposals for organization of workshops in different universities. Please, do not hesitate to contact conference chairperson and/or scientific committee presidents. See also a list of workshops running this year.

Conference, School, and Workshops Schedule
General Schedule: MOL2NET International Conference Series on Multidisciplinary Sciences, MDPI Sciforum, Basel, Switzerland has online and/or in person workshops (>10) associated. The conference usually runs online at the online platform SciForum maintained by the editorial MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The platform is open on a year-round basis almost all the days of the year in course. We have this modality for practical reasons; e.g., accommodation of many workshops in different dates along the year, flexible reception of communications, etc.
Submission and Publication of communications: As we mentioned before, in the practice, the online platform is open at the beginning of the year in course and continue open all the year for submissions of communications. However, the associated workshops may open in different dates along the year (see specific workshop pages). Submission of papers to all workshops is open until the last days of the year in course or the first days of the following. The publication of communications is continuous all the year upon acceptance.
Schedule for for MOL2NET Workshops Online participation: You can participate online in all MOL2NET workshops all the year uploading your communication directly by Sciforum platform. In addition, after publication of papers is closed we open the online platform for online participation. The authors will be able to post online comments and/or answers to comments in this workshop/section and also in the other general sections and/or >10 international workshops of the MOL2NET conference (many of them also run both online and in person). The participants are entitled to receive participation certificates for MOL2NET conference and all the workshops they participate upon request to the respective chairpersons.

Types of Communications
Before to submit your communication recommend to download and use the [Template File] to write your communication; we strongly recommend you to read carefully the following information about publication model, copyright, authors responsibilities, etcFirstly, be aware that the works published here belongs to two main modalities preliminary communications or comments on previous works.
Research Preprints. These are short communications of unpublished results but they are not post-print journal papers. In this sense, committee and/or external reviewers check only scope and apparent scientific soundness. They have the same editorial process than for an online Preprint service. Therefore, all works receive doi number and are indexed in databases (GoogleScholar, Publons, etc.).The works may receive also comments from registered participants (public post-publication review). The authors are encouraged to submit their works to a peer-reviewed scientific journals of MDPI or other editorials during or after finalization of the conference, as per SciForum copyright rules.
Research Highlights. These short communications are comments on already published papers. They are short notes to comment about the more interesting points, highlights, etc. of works previously published by the authors or other groups. In this case, committee and/or external reviewers check also only scope and apparent scientific soundness. The works may receive also comments from registered participants (public post-publication review).
Authors Liability
In all cases, it is responsibility of authors, to perform a similarity checking , ensure veracity of contents, and carry out a proper citation of previous works. The committee is not responsible of the previous aspects in this publishing modality. Consequently, the opinions expressed on the communications are not necessarily coincident to the opinions of the members of the committees. In this sense, we strongly recommend the authors to use online text-similarity checking services, such as Turnitin, etc., if possible. These tools may help authors to avoid any form of plagiarism or copyright violation. The authors may be requested to modify the communication (re-write their texts) in the case that high similarity is detected and reported to the committee.

sciforum-025711 | Molecular docking of fructose-derived nucleoside analogs against reverse transcriptase of HIV-1 |

Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
AIDS is a chronic infection that compromises the immune system of the individual infected with HIV, leaving him vulnerable to secondary infections. According to the Ministry of Health in 2017 there were 200,000 cases in Brazil, considered a worldwide pandemic with a record 36.7 million cases to date. HIV is a retrovirus, that is, it has RNA as a genetic material, and needs the action of reverse transcription (TR) to multiply. A nucleoside is formed by the N-glycosidic bond between a carbohydrate and a nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine) which in the biological medium is phosphorylated and inserted into the genetic material at the time of HIV viral multiplication. The bioactives analogous to the natural nucleosides upon being inserted by the TR into the DNA strand of an infected cell are not encoded and the retroviral multiplication process is immediately terminated by non-recognition of that analog. The major difficulty today is the action of these nucleoside analogs on other non-selective biological targets, such as the protease enzyme, and integrates, conferring toxicity to uninfected cells. This work consists of a computational analysis through Molecular Docking to predict the potential inhibitory activity of reverse transcriptase from a series of 24 nucleoside analogues derived from fructopyranose compared to the bioactive molecules already inserted in the anti-HIV treatment. For this study 36 molecules were designed in ChemDraw Ultra 12.0 to obtain its 2D structural formula. Then the molecule was optimized (RMS 0.1 kcal / Å.mol in maximum 660 cycles) by the Molecular Mechanics (MM +) and Semi-empirical (AM1) methods with the help of HyperChemTM (Release 8.0.6 for Windows) software for of the 3D structure. Finally, the enzyme reverse transcriptase in PBD (PDB ID 1REV) was selected and in Molegro Virtual Docking 6.0 anchorage was performed. Analyzing the results, it is possible to conclude that some molecules presented energies favorable to the formation of the ligand-enzyme complexes, as well as the presence of interactions with amino acid residues common to known inhibitors. Thus, this study contributes to obtaining new anti-HIV biomolecules through monosaccharides easily found in nature. |

sciforum-025768 | A Machine Learning approach for the identification of CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease off-target for the treatment of Hemophilia | , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hemophilia can be defined as a genetic disorder in which the body loses its capability to clot blood, and hence can’t stop blood flow. It is an X- linked recessive disease, hence mostly seen in males, with its severity significantly reduced in females. In India, hemophilia has an occurrence of 1 per 10,000 births, which generally progresses to a chronic disability or premature death in subjects left untreated or provided with suboptimal treatment, a case prevalent in India [1]. The two major types of this condition are hemophilia A or factor VIII deficiency and hemophilia B or factor IX deficiency. In addition, hemophilia C is a rare category in which inhibitory antibodies develop which show high affinity to procoagulants, thus neutralizing the effect of a coagulation factor. Inhibitors are much less common in patients with hemophilia B than in those with hemophilia A. The F8 gene present on the X chromosome is responsible for guiding the production of coagulation factor VIII, essential for forming blood clots. In hemophilia A, mutation results from two gross (140 kbp or 600 kbp) chromosomal inversions that involve introns 1 and 22, respectively. Similarly, the F9 gene present on the X chromosome mutates through several different mechanisms to give rise to hemophilia B condition. The conditions associated with hemophilia Leyden, ribosome readthrough of nonsense mutation and apparently ‘silent’ changes that do not alter amino acids are the major mutations studied. It has been observed that reconstitution with 1–2% of the clotting factor helps uplift the quality of life, while 5–20% reconstitution is required to ameliorate the genetic disorder. Gene-specific genome editing is preferred over random integration of expression cassettes as this helps avoid genotoxicity and achieve the required physiological levels of expression. Advances in genome engineering based on CRISPR- associated RNA- guided endonuclease Cas9 are empowering the guidance of the said endonuclease to target locations by a short RNA search string [2]. It requires a programmable sequence-specific RNA to direct it and introduce cleavage and double-stranded breaks at the target site. In case of hemophilia A, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be derived from patients with inversion genotypes with an aim to revert these chromosomal conditions to the corrected state with the assistance of CRISPR- Cas9 nucleases [3]. The endothelial cells from the corrected iPSCs can be checked for expression of F8 gene and the production of factor VIII. Likewise, in case of hemophilia B, delivery of naked Cas9-sgRNA plasmid and donor DNA, aiming to recover the mutation has shown a detectable gene correction (>1%) in F9 alleles of hepatocytes [4]. To construct the related plasmids, an AAVS1-Cas9-sgRNA plasmid is designed to cut the AAVSI locus in human. Subsequently, two donor plasmids are designed to insert GFP and F9 cDNA into the designated AAVS1 locus. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is used in combination with this editing method to identify off-target mutations, to ensure that editing takes place at the desired site. The technique offers several benefits over the popularly used Adeno- associated viral (AAV) vectors such as precision, decreased insertional oncogenesis and control through an endogenous promoter [5]. The CRISPR/Cas9- mediated genome editing with an AAV8 vector has been put to use to provide an adjustable path to induce double-strand breaks at the target genes in hepatocytes [6]. The foremost need for CRISPR-Cas9 is the identification of targets that have undergone a mutation, which has led to the development of the said condition. Although a few targets are known, none of the target mutation has been capable to render a 5-20 percent of reconstitution that is required for the elimination of the disorder. Hence, there is a need to find novel targets for the CRISPR-Cas9 system, which in turn requires the assistance of computational tools. The aim of this study is to identify positive CRISPR-Cas9 targets which would help in better and more accurate treatment of the disorder with computational biology facilitating the research. The study provide targets which possess minimum off-target mutations, providing maximum reconstitution for hemophilia. References [1] Kar, A., Phadnis, S., Dharmarajan, S., & Nakade, J. (2014).

sciforum-025827 | Machine learning models to predict the precise progression of Tay-Sachs and Related Disease | , | N/A |
Show Abstract |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Background Tay Sachs is a very rare neurodegenerative disorder and the second most common lipid storage disorder. The testimony of TSD in infants is marked by the gradual loss in vision, hearing impairment, increased muscle stiffness and cherry red retinal spot. These symptoms progress to paralysis, dementia, seizures, neuro-regression leading to the demise of the patient by the age of 3 to 4 years of age. The neurological and visceral accumulation of glycosphingolipids accounts for the major morbidity and mortality of the patients [1]. Tay Sachs disorder (TSD) is characterised by the accumulation of the ganglioside in the brain nerve cells. The abnormal accumulation of the shpingolipids (GalNAc-&1,4-(NeuNAc-&2,3) -Gal+1,4-Glc_13-1,1{2-N-acyl) sphingosine and GalNAc-/3-1,4-Gal_P1,4- GlcQ- 1,1(2-N-acyl)sphingosine) in nerve tissue leads to progressive dysfunction of the central nervous system [2]. When the enzyme 3-N-acetyl hexosaminidase (hexosaminidase A (HEXA)) is responsible for the breakdown of the fats- are defective, the glycosphingolipids increase excessively.[3] The HEXA gene, responsible for coding of the hexosaminidase A, is located on Chromosome 15. Currently, there are no promising cure for TSD as the treatment targets the symptoms of the disease [4]. The advanced techniques have introduced CRISPR/cas9 as the suggestive treatment plan. NGS (next generation sequencing) is one such diagnostic tool- providing rapid and accurate genomic information of the patient. The speculation of CRISPR/Cas9 requires critical understanding of the key genes involved, in order to design the treatment plan. The CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced repeats) technology allows scientists to make the precise change in the genetic code. Cas9 endonucleases is the associated protein which is guided through specifically designed guide-RNA to the target DNA. CRISPR/Cas9 selectively target genes containing mutations that lead to non-functional products and correct the disease-causing mutations, in vitro and in vivo [5]. Currently the platforms used for gene editing for TSD patients include zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and endonucleases. But these alternative platforms fail to provide ease and diversity in the areas where the CRISPR/cas9 excels. Owing to its ability to manipulate the target genes, however, the efficacy of the single guided RNA can be challenged, resulting in the unintended cleaving of the non-target sites. Thus, with the framework of the machine learning, using the algorithm of CRISTA the propensity of the cleaving the target site can be determined easily. The advanced techniques of machine learning along with NGS, provide varied scope of precise qualitative and quantitative study of the disorder. The suggested research work holds promising and revolutionary grounds in designing the treatment plan for the patient. The precise treatment can be planned on the basis of early diagnosis of the disease. The development of machine learning techniques in this field can assure a definite neurotherapeutics as the models can predict the precise progression of disease. The proposed work not only provides the research in the area of Tay Sachs, but also pose to cure neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, Huntington’s, etc which still remain mystery to the scientists.

sciforum-026541 | Resveratrol as a possible multitarget drug for Alzheimer's Disease | N/A |
Show Abstract |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alzheimer's Disease is considered a multifactorial and really complex disorder. Pathological mechanisms in this illness are not completely identified and actual drugs have poor effects on disease's progression. Consequently, multi-target therapeutic turns attractive in the way to find new drug options. As a result of their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits add to their regulation effects in signal transduction, apoptosis pathways, and cellular differentiation, polyphenols have an enormous value as chemoprotectors in SNC diseases. Resveratrol has multiple anti-AD effects including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant actions in neurodegeneration disorders, reduction of Aβ production and deposition, reduction of hyper phosphorylation of tau protein, regulation of mi RNA a gene translation, modulation of estrogen-dependent receptors, regulation of cell autophagy and neurotransmissor toxicity. Despite the pharmacokinetic challenges, resveratrol is a potential drug for a multi-target therapy model. |

04. ICWM-01: I International Conference and Workshop: Microbiota, UDC, Coruña, Spain, 2019
I International Conference and Workshop Microbiota: What´s cooking?
Pazo de Lestrove, Padrón (A Coruña), October 10, 2019
In our organism, we are living with an estimated population of approximately 100 trillion microorganisms, known as microbiota. It is distributed in the most diverse locations of our economy: digestive tract, respiratory system, urinary system, skin, buccalpharyngeal cavity, etc. Its composition is supposed to be specific and individualized for each individual, conforming amiscellaneous population constituted by diverse and multiple different families of viruses, bacteria, fungi, arches and even protozoa and other animal and vegetable families. Scientific and clinical research, in recent years, has turned his attention on the crucial importance that this biological diversity could have in basic processes for our health. The microbiota seems to have evolved with our species for millions of years, collaborating in shaping us to reach what we are now and will accompany us in the future in the future of our existence. In addition to the important beneficial role that the microbiota plays in the functioning of our organism in a state of health, it has recently been discovered that some of its components may be involved in a wide range of systemic pathologies.
This meeting aims to raise awareness of the importance of further research on this crucial subject and to present a state of the question of existing knowledge about the microbiota, and the microbiome, understood as the set of genes that make up the microbiota in the most varied clinical areas in which clinical evidence has recently been found of its influence on the etiopathology of the same.
In the development of the conference will participate recognized specialists grouped in 3 perspectives: scientific, clinical and technological. We intend that the conference constitutes a pioneering multidisciplinary meeting point that serves as a focus of inspiration for research actions that generate new protocols of care action, including the creation of patents on diagnostic devices, prognosis, therapy, control and care monitoring. The ultimate objective would be to do our bit to improve the quality of care and increase the sustainability of the Public Health System. The broadly multidisciplinary component, together with the support of the Galician Universities and the industry that may be related and interested in the subject, we hope that they will be sufficiently attractive for clinicians, researchers, those responsible for health administration and companies.

EJIBCE 2019 Mission & Objectives
Given the current economic situation in Europe, and particularly in Portugal, it is increasingly harder to obtain funding and to have an optimistic approach to science and collaborations. Besides, the recent austerity measures put in place by the Portuguese government led many researchers to join groups and institutes abroad, and eventually lose touch with the Portuguese scientific community and developments. After obtaining a doctoral degree or finishing a postdoctoral appointment, many Portuguese scientists abroad look back to their country looking for an opportunity to continue their careers and contribute to the development of Portuguese science. Others wish to remain abroad, but at the same time reach out to the Portuguese community and cultivate stronger ties to its researchers. However, what groups are there on Computational Structural Biology? What do they actually focus on? Are they open to collaborations? This meeting was created in order to answer these and other similar questions. Its main goal is to provide a simple no-frills environment where Portuguese researchers in Computational Structural Biology, active both in Portugal and abroad, can meet and get to know each other’s research and ambitions. Ultimately, we hope that in doing so, we will be able to stimulate new collaborations and broaden the horizons of the Portuguese community of Computational Structural Biologists.

NOTE ON PUBLICATION MODEL: Before to submit your work be aware that the editorial publication model of this workshop is similar to a PREPRINTservice. It means that works presented here have to be considered only as preliminary communications and not as final post-print versions of journal papers. In this sense, even when all the works published are revised by at least one member of the committee and/or external reviewer this level of revision checks only apparent scientific soundness and general scientific interest. In a second level, collective post-publication review, the works published may receive comments (published in the form of posts) from all the participants registered in the conference. The authors are prompted to use all these opinions to write the full versions of their works and submit them to publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journals according to SciForum copyright rules. In any case, the authors are the only one responsible of the veracity of the contents, checking similarity to other works, citing properly previous works, etc.

09. TECHLAWSCI-03: PANELFIT & NKL H2020 Tech. Law. & Sci. Challenges, Bilbao, Spain, Halden, Norway, Baltimore, USA, 2021
[LAWSCI-01] [LAWSCI-02] [PANELFIT HOMEPAGE] [PANELFIT EU] [PANELFIT RG] [TWITTER]
Dear colleagues worldwide,
Welcome to the workshop TECHLAWSCI-05: PANELFIT & NKL H2020 Tech. Law. & Sci. Challenges, Bilbao, Spain, Halden, Norway, Baltimore, USA, 2021. This workshop is associated to the European Commission Project PANELFIT H2020. In this sense, the workshop series will help to attract the attention of the pubic worldwide over the topics of the project. The project is concerned about changes in the regulation of ICT research and innovation are opening up a new scenario. It is expected that stakeholders, policy makers, and end users adapt to them as soon as possible. This, however, might be hard, especially for SMEs. PANELFIT is firmly committed to facilitating this adaptation process by producing a set of editable, open access Guidelines, validated by two data protection agencies. Once produced, they will serve as operational standards able to reduce the ethical and legal issues posed by ICT technologies while promoting innovation and market growth, enabling high-quality job creation and ensuring an adequate level of privacy and security/cybersecurity.
Furthermore, we will produce a complementary set of six outcomes to 1) suggest possible concrete improvements to the current regulatory and governance framework, both at the EU and the national level, 2) create mutual learning and support tools and to promote networking among stakeholders and policy makers and 3) increase the quantity and quality of the information available to policy makers, professionals, researchers, journalists and the public.
All these outcomes will be produced by a co-creation process involving policy makers, stakeholders, and end-users. They will all participate in the creation of the main outcomes of the project through a range of engagement activities that includes workshops, public consultations, encounters, surveys, etc. This will be combined with a strong communication and dissemination strategy that includes numerous activities, such as webinars, MOOC courses, public debates, a constant use of a web site and social networks and the creation of a Platform for Mutual Learning, which is meant to become the reference forum for the discussion of the issues at stake even after the end of the project. The participation in PANELFIT of the European Data Journalism Network, with an aggregated web audience of almost 70 million monthly visits will help us reach this aim.
In this sense, TECHLAWSci workshop series promotes multidisciplinary collaborations and debate in the frontiers of Law, Technology, Life, and Social Sciences. The interaction between bio-science and ICTs has forged great developments in many fields. However, the appreciation of these discoveries is sadly, all too often, accompanied by a lack of understanding of the legal implications. This conference series aims to provide a reference to the various legal avenues that are available for the protection of scientific advances, but also the legal instruments to protect society from unwanted effects. It constitutes a study of some of the legal implications of bioscience and ICT advances, weighing their impact on society and the law's role in shaping that effect.
The presentations will be focused on legal trends in different fields covering, but not limited to: patentability in plants and human genomics, clinical procedures’ standards, patients’ personal data protection, informed consent, regulatory issues in drug discovery, biomedical research legislation, toxicology, medico-legal problems such as healthcare malpractice, medical insurance or ethics in medical practice, software protection in chemo-informatics, bioinformatics, medical informatics, and social sciences, taxes in the biotechnology industry and causality/liability in environmental pollution, criminology, etc. The conference will run on-line and free, saving traveling and participation costs (subscriptions, open publication, participation in forum, certificates, etc., are free of cost).
Publication Model and Authors Responsibility:
Before to submit your work be aware that the editorial process is the same than for a PREPRINT service. Therefore, all works receive doi number and are indexed in databases (GoogleScholar, Publons, etc.). However, the works published here are preliminary communications and not post-print journal papers. In this sense, committee and/or external reviewers check only scope and apparent scientific soundness. The works may receive also comments from registered participants (public post-publication review). The authors are encouraged to submit their works to a peer-reviewed scientific journals of MDPI or other editorials during or after finalization of the conference, as per SciForum copyright rules.
In any case, it is the responsibility of the authors, to ensure the veracity of the contents, checking similarity to other works, and carry out a proper citation of previous works. The committee is not responsible of this previous aspects in this publishing modality. In this sense, we strongly recommend the authors to use online text-similarity checking services to avoid any form of plagiarism or copyright violation. Some workshops in this conference series use specialized services to checked for possible text similarity. For instance, some users use institutional accounts for URKUND web server. Please, be aware that the authors may be requested to modify (re-write their texts) the communication in the case that high similarity is detected and reported to the committee. In these cases, the manuscript could temporarily withdrawn until the authors re-submit the proper version. The authors are also allowed to submit short reviews, comments, letters, or discussions of papers already published if they guarantee sufficient difference to previous public contents.
