Nanobody-Mediated Neutralization Reveals an Achilles Heel for Norovirus
Human norovirus frequently causes outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis. Although discovered more than five decades ago, antiviral development has, until recently, been hampered by the lack of a reliable human norovirus cell culture system.

Diversity in kinetics correlated with structure in nano body-stabilized LacY.
The structure of lactose permease, stabilized in a periplasmic open conformation by two Gly to Trp replacements (LacYww) and complexed with a nanobody directed against this conformation, provides the highest resolution structure of the symporter.

Nanobody binding can induce DFC localization.
(A) Representative nucleoli from oocytes expressing Gar1 and Gar1M1 nucleolar localization and the same proteins fused with a GFP nanobody (Nb). These proteins were all fused with a red fluorescent protein and were co-expressed with Fbl-eGFP, a DFC ...

Nanobody-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy Selectively Kills Viral GPCR-Expressing Glioblastoma Cells
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) eradicates tumors by the local activation of a photosensitizer with near-infrared light. One of the aspects hampering the clinical use of PDT is the poor selectivity of the photosensitizer.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.
