Effect of altering local protein fluctuations using artificial intelligence

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2017
The fluctuations in Arg111, a significantly fluctuating residue in cathepsin K, were locally regulated by modifying Arg111 to Gly111. The binding properties of 15 dipeptides in the modified protein were analyzed by molecular simulations, and modeled as ...

Neurofilament Proteoforms in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Are Different in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Blood

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
We used targeted immunopurification‐mass spectrometry (IP‐MS) to characterize human neurofilament light chain (NfL) proteoforms across various compartments to assess their alterations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). NfL is truncated in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood in patients with sporadic ALS (sALS) and these proteoforms differ between ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Plasma Proteomics Identifies TAOK3 as a Potential Biomarker of Rheumatoid Arthritis Activity and a Novel Therapeutic Target

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Bone destruction associated with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains a major therapeutic challenge, with a lack of reliable molecular markers reflecting bone injury. This study aims to identify novel biomarkers linked to bone destruction in active RA through proteomic analysis, providing new strategies for precise monitoring and targeted

Structural analysis of peptides that fill sites near the active center of the two different enzyme molecules by artificial intelligence and computer simulations

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2018
Using artificial intelligence, the binding styles of 167 tetrapeptides were predicted in the active site of papain and cathepsin K. Five tetrapeptides (Asn–Leu–Lys–Trp, Asp–Gln–Trp–Gly, Cys–Gln–Leu–Arg, Gln–Leu–Trp–Thr and Arg–Ser–Glu–Arg) were found to ...

Bacterial Pigments as Potential Antitumor Agents Against Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Comprehensive Systematic Review

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal cancers (GICs) constitute one of the leading causes of cancer‐related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite currently available therapeutic strategies, new approaches and procedures are needed for their prevention and treatment.

Advancing design strategies in smart stimulus‐responsive liposomes for drug release and nanomedicine

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of stimulus‐responsive liposomes designed for controlled drug release and nanomedicine. The innermost circle represents different liposomal structures, including unilamellar, multilamellar, and multivesicular liposomes. The middle layer illustrates the responsive phospholipid components.

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...
