30 🔆RoseTTAFold
✅It is developed by researchers at the University of Washington, U.S.
✅It uses generative diffusion-based architectures (one kind of AI model) to predict structural complexes.
✅The tools’ neural networks use massive amounts of input data to produce the desired output — the three-dimensional structures of proteins.
✅It uses deep learningto quickly and accurately predict protein structures based on limited information. Without the aid of such software, it can take years of laboratory work to determine the structure of just one protein.
✅It is a "three-track" neural network, meaning it simultaneously considers patterns in protein sequences, how a protein's amino acids interact with one another, and a protein's possible three-dimensional structure.
✅It has the capability to predict not just static structures of proteins and protein-protein interactions but also their ability to predict structures and interactions for any combination of protein, DNA, and RNA.

31 🔆What is Vishing?
✅Recently, the government released a circular warning its employees of a sophisticated cybercrime— vishing.
📍 Vishing:
✅It is short form of voice+phishing, is carried out through a call on a mobile phone or landline.
✅It’s a technique wherein a threat actor calls the victim over the phone and tries to trick him/her into clicking on malicious files or emails, which can then take one to a legitimate-looking website asking to share personal information.
✅In other cases, the attacker can solicit sensitive information from the victim.
✅It can be so tricky that the caller might appear as the manager or colleague of the victim, enticing her to share sensitive information, at times using urgency as the tactic.
📍How to spot a vishing scam?
✅A pre-recorded message: On many occasions, a vishing call starts with an automated call claiming there’s an urgency related to financial or other matters, making you click a few numbers or take certain actions.
✅Pretending to be a government official: There’s a very slim chance that a government official would directly call you or even email or text. And if you get a call from somebody claiming to be a government official,chances are high that it’s not legitimate.
✅Using fear and urgency tactics: In case of a vishing attack, chances are that the scammer would stoke a sense of urgency using threat or fear.
✅Poor audio quality: If in doubt, also pay attention to the call’s audio quality and any background noises. At times, there could be robotic-sounding voices, which could mean that it’s a robocall.

32 🔆Phtheirospermum lushaiorum
✅A rare hemi-parasitic terrestrial plant named Phtheirospermum lushaiorum has been found in Phawngpui National Park in Mizoram.
✅It is a new species of hemi-parasitic terrestrial plant.
✅These hemi-parasitic plants lack a fully developed root system and form connections with another plant, from which they obtain some or all of their water and minerals.
✅Such plants have chlorophyll and produce their own food by photosynthesis, and in some cases, are capable of limited growth in the absence of the host plant.
✅They tap into the sap-conducting tissue of the host by means of specialized structures called haustoria.
✅Phtheirospermum lushaiorum attaches themselves to the roots of their host and appear like normal plants growing in the soil.
✅They flower only during July to September and fruits are produced during August to October.
✅The specific epithet “lushaiorum” is named after the “Lushai” tribe of Mizoram.

34 🔆Political party to be booked for money laundering
📍Why in news?
✅ The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has informed the Delhi high court that it will name the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) an accused in the ongoing money laundering investigation related to alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy scam.
✅ED said that it is planning to invoke Section 70 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to probe the role of AAP in this regard. Main allegation of the ED is that AAP was the recipient of the proceeds of crime in the excise scam.
📍Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002
✅Sec 3 of the Act defines offence of money laundering as –
whosoever directly or indirectly attempts to indulge or knowingly assists or knowingly is a party or is actually involved in any process or activity connected with the proceeds of crime and projecting it as untainted property shall be guilty of offence.
📍Laws under which a political party can be booked for money laundering
✅Section 70 of the PMLA, 2002
🔰It states that if a company commits a contravention of any provision of the Act, every person who was in charge of the company's business at the time of the contravention is also liable.
🔰The proviso to Section 70 states that the person in charge of the company's business can defend themselves by proving that the contravention took place without their knowledge or despite all due diligence.
📍Is political party a company?
🔰The political party is not a ‘company’ incorporated under the Companies Act 2013.
🔰However, the provision of PMLA under Section 70 has crucial explanation that could bring political party under the ambit of the anti-money laundering law.
🔰Explanation 1[1] --For the purposes of this section (i.e., Section 70 of PMLA) says that company means any body corporate and includes a firm or other association of individuals.
🔰The phrase ‘association of individuals’ can include political parties.
🔰A party, according to Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act (RPA), is any association or body of individual citizens of India registered with the EC and calling itself a political party
