Synthetic molecular evolution of hybrid cell penetrating peptides
Therapeutic peptide nucleic acids can be delivered into cells by conjugation to cell penetrating peptides (CPPs), but efficiency is usually low. Here the authors use synthetic molecular evolution and a luciferase-based library screen to generate new CPPs

Binding to medium and long chain fatty acyls is a common property of HEAT and ARM repeat modules. [PDF]
Covalent post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins with acyl groups of various carbon chain-lengths regulates diverse biological processes ranging from chromatin dynamics to subcellular localization.

Targeting of the hepatitis B virus precore protein to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane: after signal peptide cleavage translocation can be aborted and the product released into the cytoplasm. [PDF]
The major hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein is a viral structural protein involved in nucleic acid binding. Its coding sequence contains an extension of 29 codons (the "precore" region) at the amino terminus of the protein which is present in a ...

Chiral Peptide Nucleic Acids with a Substituent in the N-(2-Aminoethy)glycine Backbone
A peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a synthetic nucleic acid mimic in which the sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by a peptide backbone. PNAs hybridize to complementary DNA and RNA with higher affinity and superior sequence selectivity compared to DNA ...

Solid-phase synthesis of negatively charged pna decamer with GlyψL-Glu pseudopeptide bond.
Solid-phase Boc-protocol and synthetic strategy of negatively charged peptide nucleic acids has been suggested. New thymine containing negatively charged PNA decamer based on L-glutamic acid and glycine was synthesized.

Affibody-mediated PNA-based pretargeting shows promise for HER2-expressing tumor radiotherapy. In our recent study, a 15-mer ZHER2:342-HP15 affibody-PNA conjugate, in combination with a shorter 9-mer [177Lu]Lu-HP16 effector probe, emerged as the most effective pretargeting strategy.

In utero nanoparticle delivery for site-specific genome editing
The correction of genetic defects in utero could allow for improved outcomes of gene therapy. Here, the authors demonstrate safe delivery of nanoparticles to fetal mouse tissues, and show that nanoparticles containing peptide nucleic acids to edit the ...

CABS-flex 2.0: a web server for fast simulations of flexibility of protein structures
Classical simulations of protein flexibility remain computationally expensive, especially for large proteins. A few years ago, we developed a fast method for predicting protein structure fluctuations that uses a single protein model as the input.
