Structure‐Guided Engineering of a Promiscuous O‐Methyltransferase for a SAM Regeneration Biocatalysis Platform of Methylated Pharmaceuticals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A substrate promiscuous and regioselective O‐methyltransferase, SmOMT, is functionally and structurally characterized. A double mutant, SmOMTE152A/I306A, exhibited enhanced catalytic activity. By coupling this mutant with a mutant halide methyltransferase, AtHMTV140T, for SAM regeneration, a superior artificial fusion enzyme, AtHMTV140T‐L95‐SmOMTE152A ...

Generating Dynamic Structures Through Physics‐Based Sampling of Predicted Inter‐Residue Geometries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
While static structure prediction has been revolutionized, modeling protein dynamics remains elusive. trRosettaX2‐Dynamics is presented to address this challenge. This framework leverages a Transformer‐based network to predict inter‐residue geometric constraints, guiding conformation generation via physics‐based iterative sampling. The resulting method

AI‐Based D‐Amino Acid Substitution for Optimizing Antimicrobial Peptides to Treat Multidrug‐Resistant Bacterial Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructed the first D‐amino acid antimicrobial peptide dataset and developed an AI model for efficient screening of substitution sites, with 80% of candidate peptides showing enhanced activity. The lead peptide dR2‐1 demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo, high stability, and low toxicity.

A DNA Tetrahedron Delivery Asiatic Acid to Reprogram Mitochondrial Metabolism for Promoting Bone Regeneration via STAT3 Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) hydrogel incorporating DNA tetrahedrons loaded with Asiatic acid (TDN@AA) was developed. HM‐TDN@AA promotes angiogenesis of endothelial cells (ECs), inhibits osteoclastogenesis from bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs), and enhances osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via STAT3‐mediated mitochondrial ...

Defect Engineering Activates Pyrene‐Based Covalent Organic Frameworks for Efficient Photocatalytic Uranium Capture

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A defect‐engineered pyrene‐based covalent organic framework (TP‐PYTO‐SA) is developed via strategic salicylaldehyde incorporation. This approach simultaneously enhances hydrophilicity and introduces uranyl coordination sites, while optimized defect density significantly improves charge separation.

A Supramolecular Nanoscavengers: Based “Cargo‐Exchange” Breaking Cholesterol Metabolic Dysregulation for Glioblastoma Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dysregulated cholesterol metabolism, driven by a complex array of mechanisms, is a defining characteristic of glioblastoma (GBM). In this study, supramolecular nanoscavengers are engineered by harnessing the intrinsic binding affinity between endogenous small‐molecule cholesterol and β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD).

Higher‐Level Structural Classification of Pseudomonas Cyclic Lipopeptides through Their Bioactive Conformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Solution structures of a series of cyclic lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas reveal that these specialized metabolites adopt left‐handed alpha helical conformations of only two types, being either ‘stapled’ or ‘catch‐pole’ helix. The particular modular distribution of the biosynthetic gene clusters is found to determine the extent of their conserved ...

Structural Basis of the Membrane Association by the Conserved RocS Membrane‐Targeting Sequence in Streptococcus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae depends on RocS, a bitopic protein whose membrane‐anchoring mechanisms were unclear. Using NMR and AFM, this study reveals that the widely conserved RocS anchor binds to membranes via a conserved kink‐helix motif which inserts into lipid nanodomains.
