Opportunities and challenges in design and optimization of protein function
Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Casper Alexander Goverde
The field of protein design has made remarkable progress over the past decade. Historically, the low reliability of purely structure-based design methods limited their application, but recent strategies that combine structure-based and sequence-based calcu ...
Nature Portfolio2024Investigating the intra-molecular and inter-molecular effects of post-translational modifications on intrinsically disordered protein regions and structured protein regions
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a pivotal role in regulating protein structure, interaction, and function. Aberrant PTM patterns are associated with diseases. Moreover, individual PTMs have a complex interaction with each other, known as PTM c ...
EPFL2024Engineering novel protein interactions with therapeutic potential using deep learning-guided surface design
Proteins are foundational biomolecules of life playing a crucial role in a myriad of biological processes. Their function often requires interplay with other biomolecules, including proteins themselves. Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for ...
EPFL2024Predicting protein interactions using geometric deep learning on protein surfaces
In the domain of computational structural biology, predicting protein interactions based on molecular structure remains a pivotal challenge. This thesis delves into this challenge through a series of interconnected studies.The first chapter introduces the ...
EPFL2024Joint host-pathogen genomic analysis identifies hepatitis B virus mutations associated with human NTCP and HLA class I variation
Jacques Fellay, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Zhi Ming Xu, Andreas Scheck, Dylan Lawless, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Arne Schneuing, David Gfeller, Thomas Junier, Sina Rüeger
Evolutionary changes in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome could reflect its adaptation to host -induced selective pressure. Leveraging paired human exome and ultra -deep HBV genome-sequencing data from 567 affected individuals with chronic hepatitis B, we ...
Cell Press2024Peptide-based virucidal drugs
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, viruses were not a major priority for the scientific community. Today, many events have changed the world and the importance of studying viruses, vaccines, and antiviral drugs is fully appreciated. The development of effective ...
EPFL2024Prolamins' 3D structure: A new insight into protein modeling using the language of numbers and shapes
This study combined protein modeling methods to generate the prolamins' fractions as precise as possible. Hence, gliadins, zeins, kafirins, hordeins, secalins, avenins and oryzins were generated based on their characteristics and disulfide mapping. Finding ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2024Convalescent human plasma candidate reference materials protect against Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) challenge in an A129 mouse model
Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus (CCHFV) is spread by infected ticks or direct contact with blood, tissues and fluids from infected patients or livestock. Infection with CCHFV causes severe haemorrhagic fever in humans which is fatal in up to 83 % of ...
Elsevier2024Anti-sars-cov-2 antibodies and use thereof in the treatment of sars-cov-2 infection
Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli
The disclosure provides antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, and use thereof in prophylaxis, treatment and/or attenuation of a SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. ...
2024Virucidal compounds and use thereof
Francesco Stellacci, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Corey Alfred Stevens, Francesca Olgiati, Chiara Medaglia, Lukasz Richter
Disclosed herein are peptide-grafted compounds that irreversibly deactivate bacteriophages or influenza virus depending on the peptide and remain safe for bacteria and mammalian cells. The active compounds comprise a core (cyclodextrin or gold nanoparticle ...
