From Sequence to Dynamics to Function: Computational Design of Allostery and Ligand Selectivity in G-Protein Coupled Receptors
The phenomenon of allostery, a general property in proteins that has been heralded as "the second secret of life" remains elusive to our understanding and even more challenging to incorporate into protein design. One example of allosteric proteins with gre ...
EPFL2024Computational rewiring of allosteric pathways reprograms GPCR selective responses to ligands
Patrick Daniel Barth, Mahdi Hijazi, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Dániel Kéri
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest class of cell surface receptors and drug targets, and respond to a wide variety of chemical stimuli to activate diverse cellular functions. Understanding and predicting how ligand binding triggers a speci ...
bioRxiv2022Enhancing the Signaling of GPCRs via Orthosteric Ions
G protein-coupled receptors play essential roles in cellular processes such as neuronal signaling, vision, olfaction, tasting, and metabolism. As GPCRs are the most important drug targets, understanding their interactions with ligands is of utmost importan ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020Crosslinking Allosteric Sites on the Nucleosome Core Particle
Designing compounds that bind to the acidic patch of the nucleosome core particle (NCP) is an emerging therapeutic approach that can inhibit the binding of key chromatin factors. Pretreatment of human ovarian carcinoma, A2780, cells with RAPTA-T, an antime ...
EPFL2019Exploring the role of post-translational modifications in regulating α-synuclein interactions by studying the effects of phosphorylation on nanobody binding
Hilal Lashuel, Juan Kiwi, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Anass Chiki, Farah El Turk
Intracellular deposits of α-synuclein in the form of Lewy bodies are major hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and a range of related neurodegenerative disorders. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of α-synuclein are increasingly thought to be major ...
2018High-Affinity Nucleic-Acid-Based Receptors for Steroids
Artificial receptors for hydrophobic molecules usually have moderate affinities and limited selectivities. We describe three new classes of high affinity hydrophobic receptors for nonaromatic steroids based on deoxyribonucleotides, obtained through five hi ...
2017Acetylene Oligomerization over Pd Nanoparticles with Controlled Shape: A Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization Study
Lioubov Kiwi, Rocio Micaela Crespo Quesada
Substantial signal enhancements achieved by using parahydrogen in catalytic hydrogenations are powerful tools for mechanistic studies of chemical reactions involving molecular H-2. Potentially, this technique can be extended to other reaction classes, prov ...

Christopher Matthew Bandeli Kourra
Cyclic peptide therapeutics fill the gap between small molecules (5000 Da) as a separate class of drugs, combining the advantages of both in terms of high selectivity, bioavailability, synthetic accessibility and low toxicity. Howe ...
EPFL2016Iron Complexes for Hydrogen Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation
Inspired by Nature several groups have developed structural and functional iron complexes mimicking the active site of the iron-hydrogenases, which show high reactivity in the H2 cleavage. Usually pendant bases have been incorporated onto families of Fe co ...
EPFL2015Identification of Soft Matter Binding Peptide Ligands Using Phage Display
Phage display is a powerful tool for the selection of highly affine, short peptide ligands. While originally primarily used for the identification of ligands to proteins, the scope of this technique has significantly expanded over the past two decades. Pha ...
