Cyanobacterial toxins are a global threat to aquatic organisms; however, they represent only one group of bioactive cyanobacterial metabolites. Very little is known about the effects of other cyanobacterial products (e.g., non-ribosomal oligopeptides) on

Mapping the Substrate Specificity Landscape of PAD2 and PAD4 Enzymes
Protein citrullination, driven by peptidyl arginine deiminases (PAD2, PAD4), is linked to multiple diseases. Using a combinatorial peptide library and advanced mass spectrometry, we reveal distinct substrate selectivity profiles of PAD2 and PAD4. While PAD2 broadly citrullinates arginine‐containing peptides, PAD4 is highly sequence‐restricted, with ...

In Silico Approach towards Designing Virtual Oligopeptides for HRSV
HRSV (human respiratory syncytial virus) is a serious cause of lower respiratory tract illness in infants and young children. Designing inhibitors from the proteins involved in virus replication and infection process provides target for new therapeutic ...

Ion‐Pairing and Counterion Effects in Contemporary Photochemistry
Ion‐pairing and counterion effects have emerged as fundamental yet underexplored determinants of photochemical behavior. Far from inert, counterions, and Coulombic interactions modulate excited‐state dynamics, quenching efficiencies, emission, and catalytic pathways.

Intravenous lanadelumab for the treatment of moderately ill COVID‐19 patients
Aims Kallikrein‐kinin system (KKS) dysregulation is hypothesized to play a pathogenetic role in COVID‐19‐associated pulmonary oedema. To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous lanadelumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits plasma kallikrein, in COVID‐19, we conducted a phase 2, open‐label, randomized‐controlled, proof‐of‐concept ...

This study quantifies the effects of different soils found in the food processing environment on the efficiency of pulsed‐xenon UV disinfection. Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne illness that poses a significant threat to human health in young, old, and immunocompromised persons and accordingly, prevention of Listeria contamination is of ...

MccB‐catalyzed C‐terminal Thioesterification for Protein Bioconjugation
Abstract Protein bioconjugation enables the installation of functional groups, probes, and payloads that cannot be genetically encoded, thereby enabling the study and manipulation of biological systems. An important class of intermediates in protein bioconjugation is C‐terminal protein α‐thioesters, which are kinetically stable yet thermodynamically ...

Abstract Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a widely used technique for the identification, localization, and analysis of protein expression in tissues, playing a critical role in pathological diagnosis and validation of data derived from molecular biology. Despite its well‐established use in mammalian tissues, applying IHC to fish still presents challenges,

Despite their evolutionary relatedness to malaria parasites that infect humans, wildlife Plasmodium—particularly those that infect birds and lizards—are understudied, leaving their vast genetic diversity to be explored. By assembling parasite transcriptomes from Plasmodium‐infected lizard blood, we provide the first evidence that lizard‐infective ...
