HIV-1 Reverse Transcription [PDF]
Reverse transcription is an obligatory step in retrovirus replication in the course of which the retroviral RNA/DNA-dependent DNA polymerase (RT) copies the single-stranded positive sense RNA genome to synthesize the double-stranded viral DNA. At the same time the RT-associated RNaseH activity degrades the genomic RNA template, which has just been ...

Opportunities in Therapeutic mRNA Stabilization: Sequence, Structure, Adjuvants and Vectors
Current mRNA lipid nanoparticles rely on cold storage, which increases the cost and reduces access to the vaccines. As mRNA expands to other clinical opportunities, better methods to stabilize the medicines during shipping, storage, and delivery are needed.

Fluorine‐Directed Automated Mannoside Assembly
Motivated by the importance of fluorination in drug discovery, fluorine‐directed automated glycan assembly (AFGA) is disclosed. This strategy leverages the C(sp3)−F bond at C2 to enable α‐stereocontrolled glycosylation that eliminates the reliance on O‐based directing groups.

Enhanced Epithelial Cell Uptake of Glycol Chitosan‐Coated PLGA Nanoparticles for Oral Drug Delivery
Here, glycol chitosan (GC)‐coated PLGA NPs are developed to enhance oral drug delivery by enabling dual‐pathway endocytosis via clathrin‐ and caveolae‐mediated mechanisms. Alginate layering coating on GC‐PLGA further improves oral insulin delivery, achieving sustained glucose reduction in diabetic mice.

Harnessing Avidity: Quantifying Entropic and Energetic Effects of Linker Length and Rigidity Required for Multivalent Binding of Antibodies to HIV-1 Spikes [PDF]
Due to the low density of envelope (Env) spikes on the surface of HIV-1, neutralizing IgG antibodies rarely bind bivalently using both antigen-binding arms (Fabs) to crosslink between spikes (inter-spike crosslinking), instead resorting to weaker monovalent binding that is more sensitive to Env mutations.

A Neuronal and Neuroanatomical Correlate of HIV-1 Encephalopathy Relative to HIV-1 Encephalitis in HIV-1-infected Children [PDF]
Progressive central nervous system dysfunction analogous to the AIDS dementia complex (ADC) seen in adults (HIV-1-associated progressive encephalopathy or HIV-1 encephalopathy) commonly occurs in HIV-1-infected children. The cause appears to be directly or indirectly related to HIV-1, rather than to other opportunistic pathogens. The exact mechanism(s)

The ΔRMSF$\Delta {\rm RMSF}$ analysis reveals significant flexibility differences between free NS3 and the NS2B/NS3 complex, with notable deviations in specific regions. Key residues driving NS2B binding are identified, and the protonation state of catalytic serine affects oxyanion hole formation.
