Multivalent sialic acid binding proteins as novel therapeutics for influenza and parainfluenza infection

open access: yes, 2014
In nature, proteins with weak binding affinity often use a multivalency approach to enhance protein affinity via an avidity effect. Interested in this multivalency approach, we have isolated a carbohydrate binding module (CBM) that recognises sialic ...

Improving the Accuracy of Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction by Deep Learning Models: Benchmark and Model

open access: yes, 2019
Introduction: The ability to discriminate among ligands binding to the same protein target in terms of their relative binding affinity lies at the heart of structure-based drug design.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Role of CSF1R 550th-tryptophan in kusunokinin and CSF1R inhibitor binding and ligand-induced structural effect

open access: yesScientific Reports
Binding affinity is an important factor in drug design to improve drug-target selectivity and specificity. In this study, in silico techniques based on molecular docking followed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were utilized to identify the key ...

Bioorthogonal Photoactivation of 2‐Nitrobenzyl Caged Doxorubicin Anticancer Prodrugs on Gold Nanostars

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bioorthogonal chemistry was applied to intracellularly photoactivate Doxorubicin (Dox) using gold nanostars (AuNSt) and near‐infrared (NIR) light. Two prodrugs were used: one photoactivatable, masked with 2‐nitrobenzyl carbamate (proDox1) and another photolabile, masked with 2‐nitrobenzyl diol (proDox2), which was attached to the AuNSt surface.

Identification of MDH as a herbicidal protein target of botanical D-pinitol in Amaranthus retroflexus L.

open access: yesIndustrial Crops and Products
Natural products constitute a significant reservoir for novel pesticide development. D-pinitol ((1 R,2S,3r,4 R,5S,6r)-6-methoxycyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol), a compound exhibiting robust herbicidal activity, has been isolated from Sapindus mukorossi leaf
