Antigen‐Detected NMR for Minimal Epitope Engineering and Structure‐Guided Selection of a NaV1.7‐Selective Nanobody

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimal extracellular epitope from voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.7 was engineered into an isotope‐labelled antigen for antigen‐detected nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Together with AlphaFold2 (AF2), this enabled structure‐guided selection of R4C8, a human NaV1.7‐selective nanobody that labels fixed NaV1.7‐expressing cells and produces staining

Critical Roles of O‐Acetylation Revealed by Synthetic Trisaccharide Antigens for a Broad‐Spectrum Anti‐Salmonella Vaccine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synthetic glycoconjugate vaccine based on a diacetylated Salmonella trisaccharide elicits broadly protective antibodies against four major human pathogenic serovars. Mechanistic studies identify 2,3‐di‐O‐acetylation of rhamnose as a critical determinant of antigen recognition and breadth of protection, establishing a new strategy for broad‐spectrum ...

Single‐Stranded Interruptions in the T7 Promoter Non‐Template Strand Exhibit Unexpected Transcription Behavior

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
DNA structures with short single‐strand gaps in the non‐template strand of the T7 promoter prevent transcription by T7 RNA polymerase. Contrary to intuition, however, transcriptional activity can be observed again when the size of the gap increases toward the transcription start site, thereby reducing the proportion of double‐stranded DNA in the ...

De Novo Discovery of Nonstandard Thioisoindole‐Bridged Bicyclic Peptides Targeting Traf2‐ and NCK‐Interacting Kinase

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
An optimized strategy for the ribosomal synthesis of thioisoindole‐bridged bicyclic (TiB) peptides is incorporated into the RaPID platform, enabling high‐throughput discovery from topologically defined TiB libraries. Proof‐of‐concept selection against TNIK identifies nanomolar‐affinity ligands with inhibitory activity, while x‐ray crystallography ...
