ABSTRACT Accurate modeling of the structures of protein–protein complexes and other biomolecular interactions represents a longstanding and important challenge for computational biology. The Critical Assessment of PRedicted Interactions (CAPRI) experiment has served for over two decades as a key means to assess and compare current approaches and ...

Massive Sampling Strategy for Antibody–Antigen Targets in CAPRI Round 55 With MassiveFold
ABSTRACT Massive sampling with AlphaFold2 improves protein–protein complex predictions. This has been shown during the last CASP15‐CAPRI blind prediction round by the AFsample tool. However, more difficult targets including antibody–antigen binding remain challenging. CAPRI Round 55 consisted of three antibody–antigen targets and one heterotrimer.

Selection of Functional Intracellular Nanobodies
Camelid-derived nanobodies are versatile tools for research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Certain nanobodies can function as intrabodies and bind antigens within the eukaryotic cytosol. This capability is valuable for the development of intracellular probes and targeted gene therapies.

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

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

Evaluation of antidiphtheria toxin nanobodies
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 ...

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.

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 ...

Modulating ion channels with nanobodies
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 ...
