Antiviral activity of animal venom peptides and related compounds [PDF]
Viruses exhibit rapid mutational capacity to trick and infect host cells, sometimes assisted through virus-coded peptides that counteract host cellular immune defense.

Ohmyungsamycins (OMSs) A and B are cyclic depsipeptides produced by marine Streptomyces strains, which are synthesized by a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase. Notably, OMS A exhibits more potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and human cancer

Two New Cyclic Depsipeptides from the Endophytic Fungus sp
Two new cyclic depsipeptides, W493 C (1) and D (2), along with two known derivatives W493 A (3) and B (4) were obtained from the endophytic fungus Fusarium sp. isolated from the Mangrove plant Ceriops tagal.

Unraveling the senses of Phytophthora; leads to novel control strategies? [PDF]
Oomycetes cause devastating diseases on plants and animals. They cause major yield losses in many crop plants and their control heavily depends on agrochemicals. This is certainly true for the potato late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans.

A stiff‐stilbene‐based transmembrane anion transporter is isomerized by energy transfer from a ruthenium tris(bipyridyl) photosensitizer in the lipid bilayer. This sensitized isomerization allows activation of chloride transport using visible instead of UV light, without the need to chemically modify the stiff‐stilbene photoswitch.

Biological activities of ethanolic extracts from deep-sea antarctic marine sponges [PDF]
We report on the screening of ethanolic extracts from 33 deep-sea Antarctic marine sponges for different biological activities. We monitored hemolysis, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, cytotoxicity towards normal and transformed cells and growth ...
