De Novo Design of High‐Affinity Miniprotein Binders Targeting Francisella Tularensis Virulence Factor

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Hybrid physics and deep‐learning enabled design methods identified miniprotein binders to Flpp3 (Francisella‐like lipoprotein), a key virulence factor from Francisella tularensis. Multiple candidates with nanomolar to picomolar binding affinities were obtained using yeast surface display screening and further experimental optimization.

Viruses and Bioterrorism

open access: yes, 2008
The use of viral agents for biological warfare has a long history, which predates their recognition and isolation by culture. Advances in viral culture and virus stabilization made during the second half of the twentieth century raised the level of concern by facilitating the large-scale production of viral agents for aerosol dissemination. Furthermore,
