Co‐assembly of rationally designed glycosaminoglycan‐binding peptides with sulfated glycosaminoglycans yields supramolecular hydrogels with tunable mechanics and matrix‐mediated cytokine retention. The glycosaminoglycans thereby act as cofactors, driving a coil‐to‐β‐sheet transition that triggers gelation.

The phosphoroorganic modification of Smac‐mimetics (SMs) drives selectivity for cIAP1‐ over XIAP‐BIR3. The divalent SM 6 partially dimerizes cIAP1, whereas it prefers intramolecular binding in XIAP. In XIAP the phosphoroorganic moiety of the monovalent SM 7 functions as an IBM, thus inhibiting both BIR2 and BIR3. Created in BioRender.

Unveiling the procoagulant state in Alzheimer's disease: A novel PET imaging strategy
Abstract INTRODUCTION A subset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients exhibits a procoagulant state that remains undiagnosed despite available treatments. We developed positron emission tomography (PET) strategies to in vivo detect cerebral microthrombi in TgCRND8 mice. METHODS PET was performed with a fibrin‐binding probe (FBP) in TgCRND8 and wild‐type

Histidine Ethylation by Histidine Methyltransferases SETD3 and METTL9
Enzyme assays and computational analyses reveal that human histidine methyltransferases SETD3 and METTL9 have a capacity to catalyze histidine ethylation in the presence of synthetic or in situ produced S‐adenosylethionine (AdoEth) and Se‐adenosylselenoethionine (AdoSeEth) cosubstrates.

Cin‐FF's biocompatibility is concentration and formulation (gel or solution) dependent, showing varied effects on bacterial strains and cell lines. ABSTRACT This study evaluates cinnamoyl‐diphenylalanine dipeptide (Cin‐FF), a newly introduced gelator, for its antimicrobial efficacy, biocompatibility, and potential anticancer properties in solution and ...

Substrate selectivity of human histidine methyltransferase METTL9
Abstract Methylation of histidine residues in zinc transporters by histidine methyltransferase METTL9 plays an important role in modulating their metal‐binding properties. Here, we report synthetic, enzymatic, and computational studies on human METTL9‐catalyzed Nπ‐methylation of His375 in zinc transporter SLC39A5‐derived peptides in which the histidine

Designing unconventional Fmoc-peptide-based biomaterials: structure and related properties
We have recently employed L-amino acids in the lipase-catalyzed biofabrication of a class of self-assembling Fmoc-peptides that form 3-dimensional nanofiber scaffolds. Here we report that using D-amino acids, the homochiral self-assembling peptide Fmoc-D-
