Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Identification of a human protein-derived HIV-1 fusion inhibitor targeting the gp41 fusion core structure. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) gp41 plays a crucial role in the viral fusion process. The peptides derived from the C-terminal heptad repeat (CHR) of gp41 are potent HIV fusion inhibitors. However, the activity of these anti-HIV-1 peptides in vivo

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Long‐Term Neurologic Exam Findings in People Diagnosed and Treated During Acute HIV Infection

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate clinical and laboratory correlates of abnormal neurologic exam findings after acute HIV infection (AHI). Methods Participants from the RV254/SEARCH 010 cohort in Bangkok underwent standardized neurologic examinations at Weeks 0 (AHI), 12, 96, and 288 following antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Beyond Simple Mimicry: Next‐Generation Geometric Architectures and Future Paradigms in Small‐Molecule and Macrocyclic Peptidomimetics

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Peptide‐to‐Small Molecule Paradigm: Peptidomimetics have evolved from simple mimicry toward drug‐like scaffolds supported by increasing clinical successes. This Perspective highlights the geometric design principles—linear repetition, convergent fusion, and cyclization—defining the next‐generation peptidomimetic architectures capable of targeting ...

Targeting a Conserved Lysine in the Hydrophobic Pocket of HIV-1 gp41 Improves Small Molecule Antiviral Activity

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) fusion is mediated by glycoprotein-41, a protein that has not been widely exploited as a drug target. Small molecules directed at the gp41 ectodomain have proved to be poorly drug-like, having moderate efficacy, high ...

Deep Contrastive Learning for High‐Throughput Prediction of Drug Resistance Mutations from Sequences

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents DeepMutDTA, a deep learning framework aimed at predicting mutation‐induced changes in protein‐drug interactions and prioritizing variants potentially linked to drug resistance. Trained on large‐scale data, it incorporates SimSiam‐MuTF, a label‐aware contrastive fine‐tuning strategy that encourages separation between WT and MT ...

Direct Regioselective para‐Fluorination via I(I)/I(III) Catalysis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A direct, para‐selective fluorination by I(I)/I(III) catalysis is disclosed that does not require substrate pre‐functionalization. This strategy leverages the Leonard link inherent to phenylpropanoate and phenylpropanamides to promote a spirocyclization/para‐selective sequence. The C3‐side chain maps onto a range of common drug scaffolds and allows the

A Review of Electroanalytical Techniques for Determination of Anti-HIV Drugs

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemistry, 2011
Until now after the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was discovered as the then tentative aetiological agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), exactly 25 anti-HIV compounds have been formally approved for clinical use in the treatment of ...
