Computer programs for calculating pKa: a comparative study for 3-(3-(2-nitrophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2010 Coumarin-based compounds containing a chalcone moiety exhibit antimicrobial activity. These substances are potential drugs and it is important to determine their pKa values. However, they are almost insoluble in water.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Acidic dissociation of diprotonated piperazine in methanol-water solvents from 10 to 40 C
, 1970 The first dissociation constant of piperazinium ion has been determined by the emf method in five methanol-water solvents (10 to 70 wt % MeOH) at 25 C and in three solvents (10, 20, and 50 wt % MeOH) from 10 to 40 C.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

The dimer-monomer equilibrium of SARS-CoV-2 main protease is affected by small molecule inhibitors
Scientific Reports, 2021 The maturation of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which is the etiological agent at the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, requires a main protease Mpro to cleave the virus-encoded polyproteins. Despite a wealth of experimental information already available, there

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.
