Packaging signals in single-stranded RNA viruses: nature’s alternative to a purely electrostatic assembly mechanism [PDF]

, 2013
The formation of a protective protein container is an essential step in the life-cycle of most viruses. In the case of single-stranded (ss)RNA viruses, this step occurs in parallel with genome packaging in a co-assembly process.

Amyloid-Driven Allostery

Biophysical Chemistry
The fields of allostery and amyloid-related pathologies, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), have been extensively explored individually, but less is known about how amyloids control allostery. Recent advancements have revealed that amyloids can drive allosteric effects in both intrinsically disordered proteins, such as alpha-synuclein (αS), and multi ...

Network medicine and systems pharmacology approaches to predicting adverse drug effects

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 8, Page 1627-1639, April 2026.
Identifying and understanding the relationships between drug intake and adverse effects that can occur due to inadvertent molecular interactions between drugs and targets is a difficult task, especially considering the numerous variables that can influence the onset of such events.

Allosteric regulation of serine protease HtrA2 through novel non-canonical substrate binding pocket.

PLoS ONE, 2013
HtrA2, a trimeric proapoptotic serine protease is involved in several diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Its unique ability to mediate apoptosis via multiple pathways makes it an important therapeutic target.

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

A parameterized two-domain thermodynamic model explains diverse mutational effects on protein allostery

eLife
New experimental findings continue to challenge our understanding of protein allostery. Recent deep mutational scanning study showed that allosteric hotspots in the tetracycline repressor (TetR) and its homologous transcriptional factors are broadly ...

Multisteric regulation by structural disorder in modular signaling proteins: An extension of the concept of allostery [PDF]

, 2013
Allostery is a classical regulatory mechanism of proteins in which a signal at 'another site' modifies the activity/function of a protein. In fact, with the recognition of the generality of the structural disorder of proteins and the landscape theory of ...

LKB1–AMPK Signaling Pathway in Cardiovascular and Other Diseases

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
The LKB1–AMPK pathway has a central regulatory role in various diseases. Dysfunction of this pathway can lead to pathological processes in cardiovascular diseases (atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, myocardial hypertrophy, atherosclerosis), metabolic diseases (diabetes and kidney disease), neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease ...

Network‐based allosteric analysis of galectin‐7: Key residues dictate functional communication and stability

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Allosteric modulation enables precise control of protein activity but remains difficult to harness for selective inhibitor design. Traditional high‐throughput screening for allosteric modulators is still costly and time‐consuming, underscoring the need for predictive computational approaches.

Structural Basis of MERS‐CoV Receptor Interactions and Antibody Neutralisations

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing outbreaks of coronaviruses underscore the importance of antivirals and vaccines that can combat a wide range of coronaviruses. Neutralising antibodies (nAbs), along with vaccines and small‐molecule drugs, are among the most promising treatments and prevention options against coronaviruses.
