Making Blank Faces Expressive: Chemical Approaches to the Modification of Chemically Inert Peptides

open access: yesJournal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
As an alternative to the conventional approach, which combines amino acid monomers in a one‐by‐one fashion to peptide derivatives, the chemical modification of existing peptides has attracted significant attention in recent years. However, such approaches generally target the reactive functional groups in cysteine and lysine residues, particularly in ...

The Diverse Binding Modes Explain the Nanomolar Levels of Inhibitory Activities Against 1-Deoxy-d-Xylulose 5-Phosphate Reductoisomerase from Plasmodium falciparum Exhibited by Reverse Hydroxamate Analogs of Fosmidomycin with Varying N-Substituents

open access: yesMolecules
It is established that reverse hydroxamate analogs of fosmidomycin inhibit the growth of Plasmodium falciparum by inhibiting 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR), the second enzyme of the non-mevalonate pathway, which is absent in humans.

Leveraging the ADAM10 prodomain for selective inhibition to enhance recovery after myocardial infarction

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 5, Page 990-1008, March 2026.
Background and Purpose Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development and progression of numerous acute and chronic diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure. Targeting ADAM proteases, particularly ADAM10, holds promise for fine‐tuning inflammatory responses.

Evolution of lysine and arginine biosynthesis revealed by substrate specificity of lysine biosynthetic enzymes in Thermus thermophilus

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1727-1740, March 2026.
Two enzymes from the Thermus thermophilus lysine biosynthetic pathway, LysZ and LysY, unexpectedly exhibit substrate promiscuity. They are able to recognize the LysW intermediates utilized by the ArgW‐mediated arginine route, even though the bacterium already possesses the canonical arginine biosynthetic pathway.

Neurogenesis and the Epigenetic Landscape: Role of Histone Modifications and Chromatin Remodeling

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Histone methylation and acetylation modulate gene expression by inducing chromatin condensation or relaxation, which in turn regulates transcriptional activity and impacts neurogenesis. ABSTRACT Aims The purpose of this review is to examine how epigenetic regulation particularly chromatin modification and histone methylation controls gene expression ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme secretase is inhibited by zinc metalloprotease inhibitors and requires its substrate to be inserted in a lipid bilayer [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Mammalian angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE; EC 3.4.15.1) is one of several proteins that exist in both membrane-bound and soluble forms as a result of a post-translational proteolytic processing event.

Characterization of Ru(II) Polypyridyl Photosensitizers Bound to TiO2 Supports Through a New Covalent Metal‐Ester Bonding Motif

open access: yesChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices involves the attachment of molecular photosensitizers onto solid supports. Particularly significant to this work are PECs that rely on ruthenium‐based photosensitizers on high band gap metal oxide (MOx) supports.

Glyoxalase‐1 Inhibition Leads to Ferroptosis Induction in Lung Cancer Cells: A Dual Mechanism of Action of Hydroxamic Acids Derived from Cysteine

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2026.
A set of three cysteine‐derived hydroxamic acids were synthesized and evaluated for human gloxalase‐1 inhibition and ferroptosis induction activities. Among them, compound 2 exhibited a potent inhibitory effect against human glyoxalase‐1 and induced ferroptosis in non‐small cell lung cancer cell lines, increasing reactive oxygen species production and ...
