Two Novel Lytic Bacteriophages Infecting Enterococcus spp. Are Promising Candidates for Targeted Antibacterial Therapy

open access: yesViruses, 2022
The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance is of major concern globally. Among the most worrying pathogenic bacteria are vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Phage therapy is a highly promising method for controlling enterococcal infections. In this study,

Efficient atomic self-interaction correction scheme for non-equilibrium quantum transport

open access: yes, 2006
Density functional theory calculations of electronic transport based on local exchange and correlation functionals contain self-interaction errors. These originate from the interaction of an electron with the potential generated by itself and may be ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Enteric glia as a player of gut-brain interactions during Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
The enteric glia has been shown as a potential component of neuroimmune interactions that signal in the gut-brain axis during Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Mucoadhesion: mucin-polymer molecular interactions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2021
Mucoadhesion, adhesion of a material to a mucous membrane or a mucus-covered surface, has been employed in drug delivery to prolong contact with adsorption sites and consequently a likely improvement of drug absorption. Mucoadhesion in the oral cavity also provides additional effects on tactile mouthfeel and extended flavor delivery, which impact ...

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Molecular interaction between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease through cross-seeding of protein misfolding

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2016
Numerous epidemiological studies have shown a significantly higher risk for development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients affected by type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the molecular mechanism responsible for this association is presently unknown.

Insights into T cell recognition of antigen: Significance of two-dimensional kinetic parameters

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2012
The kinetic parameters governing T cell activation have been intensely studied for over a decade. However, the details of how the various aspects of receptor:ligand interactions culminate in T cell activation remains shrouded in mystery.
