Quantitative prediction of multivalent ligand–receptor binding affinities for influenza, cholera, and anthrax inhibition [PDF]
, 2018 Multivalency achieves strong, yet reversible binding by the simultaneous formation of multiple weak bonds. It is a key interaction principle in biology and promising for the synthesis of high-affinity inhibitors of pathogens. We present a molecular model

Ligand-receptor interactions [PDF]
Reports on Progress in Physics, 1999 The formation and dissociation of specific noncovalent interactions between a variety of macromolecules play a crucial role in the function of biological systems. During the last few years, three main lines of research led to a dramatic improvement of our understanding of these important phenomena.

Synthesis, properties, and some rhodium, iridium, and platinum complexes of a series of bulky m-terphenylphosphine ligands [PDF]
, 2016 A series of sterically demanding aryl phosphine ligands (L) bearing terphenyl substituents, PR2Ar′ (R = hydrocarbyl, Ar′ = 2,6-diarylphenyl radical) has been prepared and characterized. The stability of these ligands towards oxidation in the air has been

Role of PPAR Receptor and Ligands in the Pathogenesis and Therapy of Hematologic Malignancies
Hemato, 2022 The Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play vital roles in regulating cellular differentiation, proliferation, and caspase-mediated cell death pathways. They are regarded as promising targets for anti-tumor drug development, particularly

A genome-wide shRNA screen uncovers a novel potential ligand for NK cell activating receptors
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionNatural Killer (NK) cells play a key role in both innate and adaptive immune responses against viruses and tumor cells. Their function relies on the dynamic balance between activating and inhibitory signals, which are mediated by receptors ...

Facetted patchy particles through entropy-driven patterning of mixed ligand SAMS
, 2011 We present a microscopic theory that describes the ordering of two distinct ligands on the surface of a faceted nanoparticle. The theory predicts that when one type of ligand is significantly bulkier than all others, the larger ligands preferentially ...
