Small Molecules as Regulators of Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation: Mechanisms and Strategies for New Drug Discovery

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 13, 15 July 2025.
Diverse small‐molecule condensate‐modifying therapeutics (c‐mods) engage condensates through π–π stacking, cation–π, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic contacts to selectively dissolve pathological assemblies or stabilize functional condensates. Highlighted aromatic cores and polar substituents mediate specific interactions, while counter‐anion ...

Insights into the Dynamics and Binding Mechanisms of the Alkhumra Virus NS2B/NS3 Protease: A Molecular Dynamics Study

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2025.
The ΔRMSF$\Delta {\rm RMSF}$ analysis reveals significant flexibility differences between free NS3 and the NS2B/NS3 complex, with notable deviations in specific regions. Key residues driving NS2B binding are identified, and the protonation state of catalytic serine affects oxyanion hole formation.

A comprehensive overview on the crosstalk between microRNAs and viral pathogenesis and infection

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 349-425, March 2025.
Abstract Infections caused by viruses as the smallest infectious agents, pose a major threat to global public health. Viral infections utilize different host mechanisms to facilitate their own propagation and pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as small noncoding RNA molecules, play important regulatory roles in different diseases, including viral ...

The interplay between epitranscriptomic RNA modifications and neurodegenerative disorders: Mechanistic insights and potential therapeutic strategies

open access: yesIbrain, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 395-426, Winter 2024.
This review elucidates the pivotal role of RNA modifications in the etiology and progression of neurodegenerative disorders. RNA modification proteins (RMPs) including FTO, HNRNPA2B1, ADAR1/2, METTL3/14, NSUN2, and ALKBH5 are implicated in initiating dysregulated RNA modifications, thereby disrupting RNA metabolism.

Unveiling a Hidden Pocket in HIV‐1 Protease: New Insights Into Retroviral Protease Cantilever‐Tip Region Characteristics

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 92, Issue 12, Page 1398-1412, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The HIV‐1 protease is critical for the process of viral maturation and as such, it is one of the most well characterized proteins in the Protein Data Bank. There is some evidence to suggest that the HIV‐1 protease is capable of accommodating small molecule fragments at several locations on its surface outside of the active site.

The role of Aurora kinase A in hepatocellular carcinoma: Unveiling the intriguing functions of a key but still underexplored factor in liver cancer

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 57, Issue 8, August 2024.
Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is a crucial protein that controls cell growth and division. It plays a major role in cancer development and progression, causing abnormal cell behaviour. AURKA is often overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), making it a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker of disease severity.
