Exploring Protein-Protein Interactions as Drug Targets for Anti-cancer Therapy with In Silico Workflows [PDF]
We describe a computational protocol to aid the design of small molecule and peptide drugs that target protein-protein interactions, particularly for anti-cancer therapy. To achieve this goal, we explore multiple strategies, including finding binding hot

Efficient cell penetration and delivery of peptide nucleic acids by an argininocalix[4]arene
The application of Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs), mimics of DNA lacking the sugar-phosphate backbone, for antisense/anti-gene therapy and gene editing is limited by their low uptake by cells. Currently, no simple and efficient delivery systems and methods

Effect of native gastric mucus on in vivo hybridization therapies directed at Helicobacter pylori [PDF]
Helicobacter pylori infects more than 50% of the worldwide population. It is mostly found deep in the gastric mucus lining of the stomach, being a major cause of peptic ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma. To face the increasing resistance of H.

Synthesis and Purification of Peptide Nucleic Acids [PDF]
AbstractPeptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are DNA analogs in which the normal phosphodiester backbone is replaced by 2‐aminoethyl glycine linkages. Hybridization of PNAs with RNA or DNA follows normal rules for Watson‐Crick base pairing and occurs with high affinity.
