Binding affinity and mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 variants

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
During the rapid worldwide spread of SARS-CoV-2, the viral genome has been undergoing numerous mutations, especially in the spike (S) glycoprotein gene that encode a type-I fusion protein, which plays an important role in the infectivity and ...

3pHLA-score improves structure-based peptide-HLA binding affinity prediction

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Binding of peptides to Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) receptors is a prerequisite for triggering immune response. Estimating peptide-HLA (pHLA) binding is crucial for peptide vaccine target identification and epitope discovery pipelines.

Isothermal titration calorimetry determination of thermodynamics of binding of cocaine and its metabolites to humanized h2E2 anti-cocaine mAb

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2022
We analyzed the thermodynamics of binding of cocaine and several cocaine metabolites to a humanized anti-cocaine mAb (h2E2), which is under development for the treatment of cocaine use disorders, using isothermal titration calorimetry.

Cyanovirin-N Binds Viral Envelope Proteins at the Low-Affinity Carbohydrate Binding Site without Direct Virus Neutralization Ability

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Glycan-targeting antibodies and pseudo-antibodies have been extensively studied for their stoichiometry, avidity, and their interactions with the rapidly modifying glycan shield of influenza A. Broadly neutralizing antiviral agents bind in the same order
