Aptamer‐mediated outer membrane destabilization overcomes low permeability resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNA aptamers, Apt 60 and Apt 173, target the BamA protein to compromise outer membrane integrity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, making it susceptible to Azithromycin, an antibiotic that is otherwise poorly effective due to the low‐permeability membrane.

Molecular modeling and thermodynamics simulation of nucleic acids

open access: yes, 2016
Nucleic acids participate in many cellular processes. DNA is responsible for gene heredity and its structure is mainly in double helix, whereas RNA has wide functions in gene transcription and regulation so its structures are varied among species.

Iloperidone treatment mitigates the Juvenile Huntington's Disease phenotype possibly via Sigma‐1 Receptor Modulation

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...

Unraveling in vitro phase separation and aggregation properties of the structured region of FMRP and the impact of Fragile X syndrome‐linked mutations

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) is a multidomain RNA‐binding protein associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). We found that its N‐terminal structured region has an intrinsic propensity to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and fibril formation. FXS‐associated mutations perturb protein stability and aggregation propensity, suggesting

RNA activation in insects: From emerging evidence to molecular applications

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Canonical RNA activation involves small RNAs interacting with promoter sequences, but there is also evidence of non‐canonical RNAa in eukaryotes. Emerging evidence suggests the presence of RNAa in insects. RNAa can be utilised as a tool for functional genomic studies in insects.

Interactional Endocytosis and Transmembrane Transport Promote Cellular Internalization of Nano‐Delivered RNA Drugs for Efficient Control of Crop Diseases

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea is a widespread plant pathogenic ascomycete that causes grey mould in over 1400 species and impacts global crop yields. Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐induced gene silencing is a promising technology for pest control, but efficient delivery remains a major challenge.

Probing the molecular determinants of emission enhancement in RNA aptamer–metal complex systems

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Light up aptamer: fluorophore pairs are widely used in sensing and imaging, with coordination complex fluorophores providing specific benefits due to their long‐lived emission. Here, we examined key structural and electronic features of these metal complexes to identify the requirements for productive engagement with an RNA aptamer.

Photochemistry of N‐Substituted, N′‐Tosyl Diphenyl Sulfondiimines

open access: yesJournal of Physical Organic Chemistry, Volume 39, Issue 8, August 2026.
The irradiation of N‐substituted, N′‐tosyl diphenyl sulfondiimines with UV light induces the sequential photorelease of two different nitrenes. ABSTRACT Sulfondiimines are an emerging sulfur(VI) functional group with increasing use in synthesis and medicinal chemistry, yet their photochemical behavior has remained largely unexplored.

Analytical Ultracentrifugation in Aotearoa: A Brief History of the Technique and its Place Among Other Tools Used to Investigate Biomolecular Interactions

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a powerful and versatile tool for studying biomolecular interactions. The purpose of this commentary is to provide foundational knowledge of the technique and its uses through the presentation of two case studies in which AUC provides key data to answer research questions.
