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 ...

Antibodies expand the scope of angiotensin receptor pharmacology

Patrick Daniel Barth, Shuhao Zhang

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 ...

Enantio- and diastereoselective construction of vicinal C(sp(3)) centres via nickel-catalysed hydroalkylation of alkenes

Xile Hu, Chao Fan, Srikrishna Bera

In drug discovery, the proportion of aliphatic carbons (C(sp(3))) and the presence of chiral carbons in organic molecules are positively correlated to their chance of clinical success. Although methods exist for the synthesis of chiral C(sp(3))-rich molecu ...

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 ...

Targeting the oncogenic signaling of the transcription factor STAT3 with potent and selective monobody inhibitors

Grégory La Sala

Many targeted cancer therapies fail to improve the overall survival of patients. Limitations involve low drug selectivity and the rapid development of resistance. Moreover, the majority of oncogenic drivers presently remain considered as undruggable as th ...

A wearable electrochemical sensing system for non-invasive monitoring of lithium drug in bipolar disorder

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Irene Taurino, Francesca Criscuolo

Lithium represents the main drug for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder (BD) as it acts as a mood stabilizer. However, because of its narrow therapeutic window, psychiatric patients are obliged to frequent tests in hospital to control their lithium blood co ...

Sustainable Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes to Anilines with Highly Active in-situ Generated Copper Nanoparticles

Berend Smit, Mounir Driss Mensi, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên, Christopher Patrick Ireland, Fatma Pelin Uran

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) are usually stabilized by a capping agent, a surfactant, or a support material, to maintain their integrity. However, these strategies can impact their intrinsic catalytic activity. Here, we demonstrate that the in-situ formation ...

Asymmetric Alkenyl C−H Functionalization by Cp x Rh III forms 2 H ‐Pyrrol‐2‐ones through [4+1]‐Annulation of Acryl Amides and Allenes

Nicolai Cramer, Shouguo Wang, Yang Liu

An efficient CpxRhIII‐catalyzed enantioselective alkenyl C−H functionalization/[4+1] annulation of acryl amides and allenes is reported. The described transformation provides straightforward access to enantioenriched α,β‐unsaturated‐γ‐lactams bearing a qua ...

Engineered peptide macrocycles can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases with high selectivity

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Jeremy Touati, Maola Khan Mohammad Golam, Michal Sabisz, Alice Baumann, Kaycie Marie Butler

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc‐dependent endopeptidases at the intersection of health and disease due to their involvement in processes such as tissue repair and immunity as well as cancer and inflammation. Because of the high structural conserv ...
