Molecular Modelling of Ionic Liquids: Perfluorinated Anionic Species with Enlarged Halogen Substitutions

open access: yes, 2022
Ionic liquids as promising green solvents are widely applied in laboratory and industrial applications. Despite the massive experimental efforts on various applications, accurate computational modelling of such complex solution remains challenging.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

A Theoretical Analysis of the Effects That the Glycocalyx and the Internal Elastic Lamina Have on Nitric Oxide Concentration Gradients in the Arterial Wall

open access: yesAntioxidants
Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-known member of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) family. The extent of its concentration influences whether it produces beneficial physiological effects or harmful toxic reactions.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

QSARtuna: an automated QSAR modelling platform for molecular property prediction in drug design

open access: yes
Machine-learning (ML) and Deep-Learning (DL) approaches to predict the molecular properties of small molecules are increasingly deployed within the design-make-test-analyse (DMTA) drug design cycle to predict molecular properties of interest.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
