Biomolecular Interaction Prediction in the Pre‐ and Post‐AlphaFold Era: The 8th CAPRI Evaluation

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report on the 8th CAPRI Evaluation period, capturing the assessment of CAPRI Rounds 47 to 55 (excluding the CASP and COVID‐related Rounds), which have witnessed the transition to AI‐driven prediction tools such as AlphaFold and related alternatives. The prediction Rounds in this evaluation are characterized by a high level of difficulty due

Evaluation of antidiphtheria toxin nanobodies

Nanotechnology, Science and Applications, 2010
Nanobodies are the smallest fragments of naturally occurring single-domain antibodies that have evolved to be fully functional in the absence of a light chain. Conventional antibodies are glycoproteins comprising two heavy and two light chains. Surprisingly, all members of the Camelidae family possess a fraction of antibodies devoid of both light ...

Performance of pyDock in 8th CAPRI: Energy‐Based Scoring Applied to Docking and AlphaFold Models

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 8th CAPRI edition has shown a significant evolution in the field of protein–protein complex structure prediction. We have participated in all 11 targets proposed in this edition, involving domain‐domain, protein–protein, protein‐peptide, and protein‐DNA interactions, including homo‐ and hetero‐meric interfaces.

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Modulating ion channels with nanobodies

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology
Ion channels play instrumental roles in regulating membrane potential and cross-membrane signal transduction, thus making them attractive targets for understanding various physiological processes and associated diseases. Gaining a deeper understanding of their structural and functional properties has significant implications for developing therapeutic ...

Novel Therapeutics for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: From Empirical Bronchodilation to Precision Medicine

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains the third leading cause of death worldwide, and conventional bronchodilator‐based therapies have limited efficacy in preventing exacerbations and disease progression. The 2024–2026 period represents a historic inflection point: three mechanistically distinct agents received Food and Drug ...

Orthogonal Tri‐Modular Coiled‐Coil Assembly for Programmable Multi‐Cargo Display on Escherichia coli Nissle 1917

Small, EarlyView.
A tri‐specific scaffold cell (TriSC) platform is engineered to enable programmable, reversible, and multiplex surface assembly through orthogonal and spontaneous coiled‐coil interactions. Independent targeting and therapeutic nanobodies are modularly recruited onto bacterial surfaces, allowing tunable combinatorial functionality.

Nanobodies – effektive Immunwaffen gegen Krebs

BIOspektrum
Abstract Recently, we attached a nanobody targeting the cancer-relevant protein Survivin to ultrasmall gold nanoparticles. This enabled intracellular uptake, Survivin crosslinking, and interference with cancer cell mitosis. Coupling nanobodies to nanosized scaffolds is universally applicable to improve the function and therapeutic potential ...
