Design of an artificial phage-display library based on a new scaffold improved for average stability of the randomized proteins

Ghérici Hassaïne

Scaffold-based protein libraries are designed to be both diverse and rich in functional/folded proteins. However, introducing an extended diversity while preserving stability of the initial scaffold remains a challenge. Here we developed an original approa ...

Substrates and Cyclic Peptide Inhibitors of the Oligonucleotide-Activated Sirtuin 7

Alexander Lund Nielsen

The sirtuins are NAD+-dependent lysine deacylases, comprising seven isoforms (SIRT1-7) in humans, which are involved in the regulation of a plethora of biological processes, including gene expression and metabolism. The sirtuins share a common hydrolytic m ...

Motifs for making tricycles

Christian Heinis

Tricyclic peptides have reduced conformational flexibility, making them well suited for ligand development. Researchers have now generated large combinatorial libraries of tricyclic peptides using a disulfide-directing motif. Screening these libraries disc ...

Investigating receptor-mediated antibody transcytosis using blood-brain barrier organoid arrays

Nathalie Brandenberg, Camilla Carla Alma Ceroni

Background The pathways that control protein transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remain poorly characterized. Despite great advances in recapitulating the human BBB in vitro, current models are not suitable for systematic analysis of the molecul ...

Generation of a Large Peptide Phage Display Library by Self-Ligation of Whole-Plasmid PCR Product

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Vanessa Carle, Cristina Diaz Perlas, Kaycie Marie Butler

The success of phage display, used for developing target-specific binders based on peptides and proteins, depends on the size and diversity of the library screened, but generating large libraries of phage-encoded polypeptides remains challenging. New pepti ...

Structure and Function of the T4 Spackle Protein Gp61.3

Petr Leiman, Alec Fraser

The bacteriophage T4 genome contains two genes that code for proteins with lysozyme activity-e and 5. Gene e encodes the well-known T4 lysozyme (commonly called T4L) that functions to break the peptidoglycan layer late in the infection cycle, which is requ ...

A computationally designed chimeric antigen receptor provides a small-molecule safety switch for T-cell therapy

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, George Coukos, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Sailan Shui

The activity of CAR-T cells is reversibly halted with a small-molecule drug. Approaches to increase the activity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells against solid tumors may also increase the risk of toxicity and other side effects. To improve the s ...

The Hermeneutic Circle of Data Visualization: the Case Study of the Affinity Map

Dario Rodighiero

In this article, we show how postphenomenology can be used to analyze a visual method that reveals the hidden dynamics that exist between individuals within large organizations. We make use of the Affinity Map to expand the classic postphenomenology that p ...

Development of Tissue Kallikrein Inhibitors for the Treatment of Netherton Syndrome

Patrick Andreas Gonschorek

There is currently no approved treatment for Netherton syndrome, which is a severe, genetic skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation and excessive peeling of the skin. Even though the molecular disease mechanism has been assigned to the unopposed ...
