Miniaturized technologies for high-throughput drug screening enzymatic assays and diagnostics - A review

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sarah Alexandra Pais Pereira

Drug discovery is a complex, multistep process, in which many challenges need to be overcome at each stage, from the discovery of a biomolecular target to the ensuring of the efficacy and safety of a compound in humans. Today's analytical methods allow ten ...

Structure and Function of the Branched Receptor-Binding Complex of Bacteriophage CBA120

Sergey Nazarov, Petr Leiman, Sergii Buth, Michel Plattner, Nikolai Prokhorov

Bacteriophages recognize their host cells with the help of tail fiber and tailspike proteins that bind, cleave, or modify certain structures on the cell surface. The spectrum of ligands to which the tail fibers and tailspikes can bind is the primary determ ...

Enzyme annotation for orphan and novel reactions using knowledge of substrate reactive sites

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Noushin Hadadi, Marianne Seijo

Thousands of biochemical reactions with characterized activities are “orphan,” meaning they cannot be assigned to a specific enzyme, leaving gaps in metabolic pathways. Novel reactions predicted by pathway-generation tools also lack associated sequences, l ...

Exploring on Protein-DNA interactions

Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

A variety of DNA-binding proteins organizes the chromosomal DNA and regulates gene transcription, and DNA replication and recombination. In particular, for gene regulation there is a category of DNA-binding proteins, the transcription factors, which can de ...

Engineering a stable future for DNA-origami as a biomaterial

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Eva Eugene Kurisinkal, Hale Bila

DNA as a biomaterial has evoked great interest as a potential platform for therapeutics and diagnostics and as hydrogel scaffolds due to the relative ease of programming its robust and uniform shape, site-specific functionality and controlled responsive be ...

Getting the Right Grip? How Understanding Electrophile Selectivity Profiles Could Illuminate Our Understanding of Redox Signaling

Yimon Aye, Lingxi Wang

Recent Advances: Herein, we focus on the first step of this process, electrophile sensing. Electrophile sensing is typically a deceptively simple reaction between the thiol of a protein cysteine, of which there are around 200,000 in the human proteome, and ...

More Medicines for Tuberculosis: Fuelling Drug Discovery against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Shi-Yan Caroline Foo

Tuberculosis (TB), whose etiological agent is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), has plagued humanity since antiquity. Even with chemotherapy available today, TB is the leading cause of death due to an infectious disease. Modern day factors, suc ...

Precisely Regulated and Efficient Locking of Linear Peptides into Stable Multicyclic Topologies through a One-Pot Reaction

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong

We report the discovery of a small phenyl molecule with four isosteric thiolate-reactive groups of sequentially varied reactivity. This molecule was exploited in combination with cysteine/penicillamine thiolates of different nucleophilic reactivity for pre ...

Versatile Tool for the Analysis of Metal-Protein Interactions Reveals the Promiscuity of Metallodrug-Protein Interactions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Laure Menin, Luc Patiny

Metallodrug protein interactions contribute to their therapeutic effect (even when DNA is the dominant target), side-effects and are implicit in drug resistance. Here, we provide mass spectrometric-based evidence to show that metallodrug interactions with ...
