    <p>The hydrogen bond length data were shown in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0074615#pone-0074615-t001" target="_blank"><b>Table 1</b></a>. The amino acids shown in the up right corner of each indicated that the hydrogen bonds were formed between 3-hydroxyl groups of the <i>A</i>-ring or <i>B</i>/<i>C</i>-ring derivatives and this specific amino acid in the binding pocket. The curve regression was performed according to the Inverse First Order equation y = y<sub>0</sub>+ a/x.</p

    IntroductionNeurotechnology approaches, such as electroencephalography (EEG), can aid understanding of the cognitive processes behind creativity.MethodsTo identify and compare the EEG characteristics of creativity-related cognitive factors (remote association, common association, combination, recall, and retrieval), 30 participants were recruited to conduct an EEG induction study.ResultsFrom the event-related potential (ERP) results and spectral analysis, the study supports that creativity is related to the frontal lobe areas of the brain and common association is an unconscious process.DiscussionThe results help explain why some creativity-related cognitive factors are involved either more or less readily than others in the creative design process from workload aspects. This study identifies the part of the brain that is involved in the combination cognitive factor and detects the ERP results on cognitive factors. This study can be used by designers and researchers to further understand the cognitive processes of creativity.</p

    <p>The protein structures were shown in cartoon and colored green and magenta for ERα and ERβ, respectively. E<sub>2</sub> molecules were shown in stick and colored blue and red in ERα and ERβ LBD, respectively. α-Helixes and β-sheets in the ER LBDs are labeled according to references <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0074615#pone.0074615-Brzozowski1" target="_blank">[14]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0074615#pone.0074615-Shiau1" target="_blank">[16]</a>. Helix 2 structures are missing in both <i>X</i>-ray structures.</p

    <p>The number of each carbon is labeled next to the atom in the E<sub>2</sub> structure. The names of the E<sub>2</sub> derivatives were shown in the upper left corner of each frame. The <i>RBA</i> values of the E<sub>2</sub> derivatives for ERα and ERβ (data from <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0074615#pone-0074615-t001" target="_blank"><b>Table 1</b></a> as % of <i>RBA</i> of E<sub>2</sub>) were shown in the lower right corner of each frame. The numbers were rounded to the nearest integer due to space constraint.</p

    <p>. Superimposed structures of docking result and the crystal structure of ERα LBD in complex with DES. The known crystal structure of ERα LBD in complex with DES (PDB code: 3ERD) was colored in yellow with DES colored in green. The docked DES was colored in orange and ERα LBD was colored in magenta. <b>B</b>. Superimposed structures of docking result and the crystal structure of ERα LBD in complex with E<sub>2</sub>. The known crystal structure of ERα LBD in complex with E<sub>2</sub> (PDB code: 3ERE) was colored in yellow with E<sub>2</sub> colored in green. The docked E<sub>2</sub> was colored in orange and ERα LBD was colored in magenta. The green dashes indicated the hydrogen bonds formed. All the structures were shown in ball and stick. The atoms involved with hydrogen bond formation were colored according to the atom type, i.e. white for hydrogen, red for oxygen and blue for nitrogen. Hydrogen atoms in other amino acids were not shown.</p
