Computational drug development for membrane protein targets
Pierre Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni, Babatunde Edukpe Ekundayo, Shuguang Yuan
The application of computational biology in drug development for membrane protein targets has experienced a boost from recent developments in deep learning-driven structure prediction, increased speed and resolution of structure elucidation, machine learni ...
2024Large Libraries of Structurally Diverse Macrocycles Suitable for Membrane Permeation
Christian Heinis, Xinjian Ji, Edward Jeffrey Will, Anne Sofie Luise Zarda, Alessandro Angelini, Alexander Lund Nielsen, Manuel Leonardo Merz, Mischa Schüttel, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Zsolt Bognár
Macrocycles offer an attractive format for drug development due to their good binding properties and potential to cross cell membranes. To efficiently identify macrocyclic ligands for new targets, methods for the synthesis and screening of large combinator ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2024Quantified interface chemistry and biophysics via water imaging
High throughput wide-field second harmonic imaging enables the label-free imaging of interfacial (< 3 nm thick) water, with a spatial resolution of similar to 370 nm using similar to 100 ms acquisition times per image. The obtained interfacial orientationa ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2024Fluorogenic polymethine dyes by intramolecular cyclization
Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Annabell Martin
Fluorescence imaging plays a pivotal role in the study of biological processes, and cell -permeable fluorogenic dyes are crucial to visualize intracellular structures with high specificity. Polymethine dyes are vitally important fluorophores in singlemolec ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2024Rules 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 ...
Cambridge2023Quantifying single-cell diacylglycerol signaling kinetics after uncaging
Milena Maria Schuhmacher, Pavel Barahtjan
Studying the role of molecularly distinct lipid species in cell signaling remains challenging due to a scarcity of methods for performing quantitative lipid biochemistry in living cells. We have recently used lipid uncaging to quantify lipid -pro-tein affi ...
Cambridge2023Development of methods for the synthesis of large combinatorial libraries of macrocyclic compounds
Macrocycles have raised much interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to bind challenging targets while often still being able to cross membranes to reach intracellular proteins. However, the development of macrocyclic ligands to new di ...
EPFL2023Significance of Receptor Mobility in Multivalent Binding on Lipid Membranes
Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Diana Kornelia Morzy
Numerous key biological processes rely on the concept of multivalency, where ligands achieve stable binding only upon engaging multiple receptors. These processes, like viral entry or immune synapse formation, occur on the diffusive cellular membrane. One ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2022Method and system for determining intracellular mediators' activity
Philippe Renaud, Horst Vogel, Thamani Dahoun, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp
A method for determining the presence of a molecule coupled to the cytoplasmic side of a cellular membrane is disclosed. The method is implemented in a microfluidic setting and is particularly suitable for determining the presence and/or the activity of a ...
2022Computationally designed GPCR quaternary structures bias signaling pathway activation
Patrick Daniel Barth, Robert Everett Jefferson
Communication across membranes controls critical cellular processes and is achieved by receptors translating extracellular signals into selective cytoplasmic responses. While receptor tertiary structures can be readily characterized, receptor associations ...
