Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Prediction of Hemolysis Tendency of Peptides using a Reliable Evaluation Method [PDF]
There are numerous peptides discovered through past decades, which exhibit antimicrobial and anti-cancerous tendencies. Due to these reasons, peptides are supposed to be sound therapeutic candidates. Some peptides can pose low metabolic stability, high toxicity and high hemolity of peptides.

Docking Peptides into HIV/FIV Protease with Deep Learning and Focused Peptide Docking Methods [PDF]
Molecular docking is a structure-based computational drug design technique for predicting the interaction between a small molecule (ligand) and a macromolecule (receptor). Over the past three decades various docking software programs have been developed, mostly for drug-like molecules.

Characterization of fungal carbonyl sulfide hydrolase belonging to clade D β‐carbonic anhydrase
Here, we performed a functional analysis of the fungal enzymes belonging to clade D of the β‐class carbonic anhydrase family (β‐D‐CA). The β‐D‐CAs in the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum trabeum and the ascomycete Trichoderma harzianum showed very low activity in the hydration of CO2 but exhibited high activity in the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS ...

Peptide-Gold Nanoparticle Conjugates as Artificial Carbonic Anhydrase Mimics [PDF]
We herein describe the design and synthesis of a catalytically active peptide–gold nanoparticle conjugate (Pep-Au-NP) that binds Zn(II) within its peptide monolayer and develops carbonic anhydrase activity. Specifically, a modified variant of the β-sheet
