Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Feedback Inhibition of CREB Signaling Promotes Beta Cell Dysfunction in Insulin Resistance
Cell Reports, 2015 Although persistent elevations in circulating glucose concentrations promote compensatory increases in pancreatic islet mass, unremitting insulin resistance causes deterioration in beta cell function that leads to the progression to diabetes.

Creating Robust Antimicrobial Materials with Sticky Tyrocidines
Antibiotics, 2022 Modified antimicrobial and antifouling materials and surfaces can be used to limit the propagation of microorganisms on various surfaces and minimise the occurrence of infection, transfer, and spoilage. Increased demand for ‘green’ solutions for material

Ugi multicomponent reaction to prepare peptide–peptoid hybrid structures with diverse chemical functionalities [PDF]
, 2018 Monodisperse sequenced peptides and peptoids present unique nano-structures based on their self-assembled secondary and tertiary structures. However, the generation of peptide and peptoid hybrid oligomers in a sequence-defined manner via Ugi ...

Solution structure of a bacterial microcompartment targeting peptide and its application in the construction of an ethanol bioreactor [PDF]
, 2014 Targeting of proteins to bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) is mediated by an 18-amino-acid peptide sequence. Herein, we report the solution structure of the N-terminal targeting peptide (P18) of PduP, the aldehyde dehydrogenase associated with the 1,2 ...

HPEPDOCK: a web server for blind peptide–protein docking based on a hierarchical algorithm
Nucleic Acids Res., 2018 Protein–peptide interactions are crucial in many cellular functions. Therefore, determining the structure of protein–peptide complexes is important for understanding the molecular mechanism of related biological processes and developing peptide drugs ...

Pharmaceuticals, 2013 The rapid increase in drug-resistant infections has presented a serious challenge to antimicrobial therapies. The failure of the most potent antibiotics to kill “superbugs” emphasizes the urgent need to develop other control agents. Here we review the history and new development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a growing class of natural and synthetic
