Directed Evolution of Bicyclic Peptides for Therapeutic Application
CHIMIA, 2013 Many naturally occurring cyclic peptides or derivatives thereof are used as therapeutics such as the human hormones vasopressin and oxytocin or the antibiotics vancomycin and daptomycin.

Connecting hydrophobic surfaces in cyclic peptides increases membrane permeability.
Angewandte Chemie, 2020 N-methylation or C-methylation in natural and synthetic cyclic peptides can increase membrane permeability, but it remains unclear why this happens in some cases but not others.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Janus cyclic peptide–polymer nanotubes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2013 Self-assembled nanotubular structures have numerous potential applications but these are limited by a lack of control over size and functionality. Controlling these features at the molecular level may allow realization of the potential of such structures.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Efficient 3D conformer generation of cyclic peptides formed by a disulfide bond
Journal of Cheminformatics, 2022 Cyclic peptides formed by disulfide bonds have been one large group of common drug candidates in drug development. Structural information of a peptide is essential to understand its interaction with its target.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Fluorescent cyclic peptides for cell imaging
Peptide Science, 2020 Fluorescent cyclic peptides are excellent chemical scaffolds to build optical agents for molecular imaging. In addition to their favorable physicochemical properties, they can be modified with multiple organic fluorophores and generate useful probes for ...
