Antibodies expand the scope of angiotensin receptor pharmacology

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key regulators of human physiology and are the targets of many small-molecule research compounds and therapeutic drugs. While most of these ligands bind to their target GPCR with high affinity, selectivity is often l ...

Rules and mechanisms governing G protein coupling selectivity of GPCRs

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) convert extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling by coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins of four classes: Gi/o, Gq, Gs, and G12/13. However, our understanding of the G protein selectivity of GPCRs is incomplet ...

Bringing Functional Context to Emerging Proximity-mapping Proteomics Tools

Yimon Aye

If one considers chemical-biology toolsets that have had the greatest impact on numerous fields of life sciences over the most recent years, proximity-labeling tools, such as APEX, and Bio-ID arguably lead the way. This article reflects upon the current st ...

Structural Basis of Ligand Selectivity by a Bacterial Adhesin Lectin Involved in Multispecies Biofilm Formation

Corey Alfred Stevens

Carbohydrate recognition by lectins governs critical host-microbe interactions. MpPA14 (Marinomonas primoryensis PA14 domain) lectin is a domain of a 1.5-MDa adhesin responsible for a symbiotic bacterium-diatom interaction in Antarctica. Here, we show that ...

Bias-Adaptable CO2-to-CO Conversion via Tuning the Binding of Competing Intermediates

Yelin Hu, Jun Li, Shilong Wang, Han Zhang, An Zhang

CO2 electroreduction powered by renewable electricity represents a promising method to enclose anthropogenic carbon cycle. Current catalysts display high selectivity toward the desired product only over a narrow potential window due primarily to unoptimize ...

A One-Step Biofunctionalization Strategy of Electrospun Scaffolds Enables Spatially Selective Presentation of Biological Cues

Silvestro Micera

To recapitulate the heterogeneous complexity of tissues in the human body with synthetic mimics of the extracellular matrix (ECM), it is important to develop methods that can easily allow the selective functionalization of defined spatial domains. Here, a ...

Functionalization of second harmonic generation nanoparticles for theranostic applications

Jérémy Vuilleumier

Nowadays, cancer is one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. The actual medical tools to detect cancer at early stage suffer to their low sensitivity. The design of multimodal nanodevices for in vivo imaging offers the perspective of canc ...

Anticancer Potential of Diiron Vinyliminium Complexes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor, Silvia Schoch

Although ferrocene derivatives have attracted considerable attention as possible anticancer agents, the medicinal potential of diiron complexes has remained largely unexplored. Herein, we describe the straightforward multigram-scale synthesis and the antip ...
