Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) and related extended organic materials have been widely used as photocatalysts in the last few years. Such interest arises from the wide range of covalent linkages employed in their construction, which offer many ...

Fluoromethylketone-fragment conjugates designed as covalent modifiers of EcDsbA are atypical substrates [PDF]
Disulfide bond protein A (DsbA) is an oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the formation of disulfide bonds in Gram-negative bacteria. In Escherichia coli, DsbA (EcDsbA) is essential for bacterial virulence, thus inhibitors have the potential to act as antivirulence agents. A fragment-based screen was conducted against EcDsbA and herein we describe the

Topoisomerase 1 cleavage complex enables pattern recognition and inflammation during senescence
Here, the authors show that the topoisomerase 1-DNA covalent cleavage complex plays a critical role in mediating cytoplasmic chromatin fragments recognition by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase during senescence.

Electrophilic Fragment-Based Design of Reversible Covalent Kinase Inhibitors [PDF]
Fragment-based ligand design and covalent targeting of noncatalytic cysteines have been employed to develop potent and selective kinase inhibitors. Here, we combine these approaches, starting with a panel of low-molecular-weight, heteroaryl-susbstituted cyanoacrylamides, which we have previously shown to form reversible covalent bonds with cysteine ...

Covalent Allosteric Inhibitors of Akt Generated Using a Click Fragment Approach
AbstractAkt is a protein kinase that has been implicated in the progression of cancerous tumours. A number of covalent allosteric Akt inhibitors are known, and based on these scaffolds, a small library of novel potential covalent allosteric imidazopyridine‐based inhibitors was designed.

Proteome-wide covalent ligand discovery in native biological systems
Small molecules are powerful tools for investigating protein function and can serve as leads for new therapeutics. Most human proteins, however, lack small-molecule ligands, and entire protein classes are considered ‘undruggable’.

The proposed mechanism of action for the CDK12/13 inhibitor and cyclin K degrader, CT7439. CDK12/13 inhibition interrupts transcription elongation, leading to increased DNA damage that results in cell death. This agent is a potentially novel treatment option for patients with colorectal cancer. Created in BioRender. Cyclin‐dependent kinase (CDK) 12 and

Covalent Bonding of Pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) to Terminal Guanine Residues within Duplex and Hairpin DNA Fragments. [PDF]
Pyrrolobenzodiazepines (PBDs) are covalent-binding DNA-interactive agents with growing importance as payloads in Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs). Until now, PBDs were thought to covalently bond to C2-NH2 groups of guanines in the DNA-minor groove across ...
