Cryo‐EM analysis reveals an asymmetric MMOH–MMOB complex with distinct protomers, where MMOB binding triggers structural rearrangements from the surface to the active site. This conformational asymmetry shortens the Fe···Fe distance to 2.7 Å in one protomer, forming a geometry suitable for O2 activation and supporting a sequential catalytic mechanism ...

Multi‐View Biomedical Foundation Models for Molecule‐Target and Property Prediction
Molecular foundation models can provide accurate predictions for a large set of downstream tasks. We develop MMELON, an approach that integrates pre‐trained graph, image, and text foundation models and validate our multi‐view model on over 120 tasks, including GPCR binding.

Generating Dynamic Structures Through Physics‐Based Sampling of Predicted Inter‐Residue Geometries
While static structure prediction has been revolutionized, modeling protein dynamics remains elusive. trRosettaX2‐Dynamics is presented to address this challenge. This framework leverages a Transformer‐based network to predict inter‐residue geometric constraints, guiding conformation generation via physics‐based iterative sampling. The resulting method

CD147/Basigin: From Integrative Molecular Hub to Translational Therapeutic Target
This review conceptualizes CD147 as a fundamental “Energy‐Structure Coupler,” physically bridging metabolic flux (via MCTs) with morphogenetic plasticity (via integrins/MMPs) to drive cancer, infection, and autoimmunity. Addressing the “specificity paradox” that limits current translation, the authors chart a strategic roadmap—spanning logic‐gated ...

Unnatural Amino Acid and Emerging Chemistry Approaches to Map RNA–Protein Interactions
This review highlights emerging chemistries for mapping RNA–protein interactions, including genetically encoded unnatural amino acids, novel photocrosslinkers, and non‐photoactivatable crosslinking systems. We compare their mechanisms, reactivity and applications, outlining how these next‐generation tools enable higher‐resolution, site‐specific ...

Dissecting a novel allosteric mechanism of cruzain: A computer-aided approach.
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a neglected infection affecting millions of people in tropical regions. There are several chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of this disease, but most of them are highly toxic and ...

Ligand‐Induced Electronic Response Enables Predictive QM/MM Simulations
Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations are powerful tools for modeling complex molecular systems; however, their predictability has been constrained by the ambiguous definition of the QM region. An electronically informed protocol is introduced that defines QM regions by quantifying guest‐induced orbital shifts and charge ...

Discovery of a First‐in‐Class Covalent Allosteric SHP1 Inhibitor with Immunotherapeutic Activity
A covalent allosteric inhibitor M029 was discovered for SHP1, a novel target for immunotherapy. M029 binds to a cryptic Cys remote from the active site, exhibits robust target engagement, and blocks tumor progression by stimulating antitumor immune response.
