Turning Bonding Into Function: The Emerging Role of the Bioactive Selenium─Metal Motif in Toxicology and Medicinal Chemistry

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Balancing Act: Se─M bond serving as the fulcrum of the balance scale to compare the different weight of toxicity and therapeutic effects in biological environment. ABSTRACT The synthesis and characterization of organo‐selenium compounds have attracted considerable interest for decades, driven by the search for efficient catalysts and bioinspired ...

Mosaic activation of the zebrafish hsp70l heat shock promoter: Implications for interpreting transgenes

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The promoters and enhancers of heat shock genes, such as the 1.5‐kb promoter of the zebrafish hsp70l gene, are valuable tools for temporal activation of transgenes. It has been widely purported that heat shock treatments result in ubiquitous expression of hsp70l‐driven transgenes.

Deep learning assessment of nativeness and pairing likelihood for antibody and nanobody design with AbNatiV2

mAbs
Most immune-system created antibodies balance good binding and stability with low toxicity and self-reactivity. Quantifying the nativeness of a candidate sequence – its likelihood of belonging to natural immune repertoires – has thus emerged as a ...

Fluorinated Iminosugar Glycomimetics: Synthesis and Activity as GCase Ligands

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
DAST‐mediated deoxyfluorination of suitably functionalized piperidines provided regio‐ and stereoselective access to fluorinated piperidine and pyrrolidine glycomimetics, the latter arising from an unusual ring‐contraction process. Fluorination generally enhanced β‐glucocerebrosidase (GCase) inhibitory potency, but lost PC activity toward L444P/L444P ...

Precision Fermentation for Next Generation Food Ingredients: Technological Foundations, Food Applications, Sustainability, and Regulatory Challenges

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Precision fermentation uses engineered microorganisms to produce targeted food ingredients, including proteins, enzymes, lipids, flavors, vitamins, and bioactives. This review examines its technological foundations, food applications, safety, sustainability, economics, regulation, and consumer acceptance, emphasizing that performance depends on host ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Nanoscale profiling of evolving intermolecular interactions in ageing FUS condensates

Communications Chemistry
Protein condensates can exist in different states with distinct material properties, corresponding to specific cellular functions. These material properties, however, remain difficult to characterise, in part due to the technical challenges associated ...
