A highly sensitive bead-based flow cytometric competitive binding assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody activity [PDF]
Accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody (nAb) is critical for assessing the immunity levels after virus infection or vaccination. As fast, cost-effective alternatives to viral infection-based assays, competitive binding (CB) assays were ...

A competitive binding-mass spectrometry strategy for high-throughput evaluation of potential critical quality attributes of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have a propensity to host a large number of chemical and enzymatical modifications that need to be properly assessed for their potential impact on target binding.

bindNode24: Competitive binding residue prediction with 60 % smaller model [PDF]
Many proteins function through ligand binding. Yet, reliable experimental binding data remains limited. Recent advances predict binding residues from sequences using protein Language Model embeddings.

CLASP-mediated competitive binding in protein condensates directs microtubule growth [PDF]
Microtubule organization in cells relies on targeting mechanisms. Cytoplasmic linker proteins (CLIPs) and CLIP-associated proteins (CLASPs) are key regulators of microtubule organization, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we reveal that

Although the phosphorothioate (PT) modification, in which the nonbridging oxygen in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by sulfur, has been reported to play versatile roles in multiple cellular processes, very little data have been obtained to ...

Validating a re-implementation of an algorithm to integrate transcriptome and ChIP-seq data [PDF]
Transcription factor binding to a gene regulatory region induces or represses its expression. Binding and expression target analysis (BETA) integrates the binding and gene expression data to predict this function.

Non-microRNA binding competitively inhibits LIN28 regulation [PDF]
RNA binding protein (RBP) expression is finite. For RBPs that are vastly outnumbered by their potential target sites, a simple competition for binding can set the magnitude of post-transcriptional control. Here, we show that LIN28, best known for its direct regulation of let-7 miRNA biogenesis, is also indirectly regulated by its widespread binding of ...

A Polarity-Sensitive Far-Red Fluorescent Probe for Glucose Sensing through Skin
The field of glucose biosensors for diabetes management has been of great interest over the past 60 years. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is important to continuously track the glucose level to provide better management of the disease.

Competition between LIM-binding domains [PDF]
LMO (LIM-only) and LIM-HD (LIM-homeodomain) proteins form a family of proteins that is required for myriad developmental processes and which can contribute to diseases such as T-cell leukaemia and breast cancer. The four LMO and 12 LIM-HD proteins in mammals are expressed in a combinatorial manner in many cell types, forming a transcriptional ‘LIM code’
