Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Unraveling How Cholesterol Affects Multivalency-Induced Membrane Deformation of Sub-100 nm Lipid Vesicles

open access: yes, 2022
Cholesterol plays a critical role in modulating the lipid membrane properties of biological and biomimetic systems and recent attention has focused on its role in the functions of sub-100 nm lipid vesicles and lipid nanoparticles.

Linker Length Drives Heterogeneity of Multivalent Complexes of Hub Protein LC8 and Transcription Factor ASCIZ

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
LC8, a ubiquitous and highly conserved hub protein, binds over 100 proteins involved in numerous cellular functions, including cell death, signaling, tumor suppression, and viral infection. LC8 binds intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), and although

Galactose Multivalency Effect on the Cell Uptake Mechanism of Bioconjugated Nanoparticles

open access: yes, 2018
Galactose functionalized nanomaterials are commonly used for specific targeting/delivery of cancer cells, as galactose receptors are overexpressed in certain types of cancer cells. However, the role of galactose multivalency on cellular interaction, cell

Shape-persistent and adaptive multivalency: Rigid transgeden (TGD) and flexible PAMAM dendrimers for heparin binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This study investigates transgeden (TGD) dendrimers (polyamidoamine (PAMAM)-type dendrimers modified with rigid polyphenylenevinylene (PPV) cores) and compares their heparin-binding ability with commercially available PAMAM dendrimers.

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Orthogonal dual thiol–chloroacetyl and thiol–ene couplings for the sequential one-pot assembly of heteroglycoclusters

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2014
We describe the first one-pot orthogonal strategy to prepare well-defined cyclopeptide-based heteroglycoclusters (hGCs) from glycosyl thiols. Both thiol–chloroactetyl coupling (TCC) and thiol–ene coupling (TEC) have been used to decorate cyclopeptides ...
