Heuristic energy-based cyclic peptide design.

PLoS Computational Biology
Rational computational design is crucial to the pursuit of novel drugs and therapeutic agents. Meso-scale cyclic peptides, which consist of 7-40 amino acid residues, are of particular interest due to their conformational rigidity, binding specificity ...

Time‐restricted feeding prior to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection reduces tissue CD4+ T cells with limited impact on bacterial clearance

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐restricted feeding (TRF) in mice increased liver fatty acid oxidation and decreased fatty acid biosynthesis. These alterations persisted when TRF was discontinued and the host was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Pre‐exposure to TRF did not alter tissue (lung and spleen) mycobacterial burden but significantly reduced CD3+ T cells in lungs

Targeting C-terminal binding proteins (CtBPs) using genetic selection

, 2011
There are many protein-protein interactions that are vital for cellular processes such as signal transduction, structural organisation and apoptosis. In this study we decipher the role of the protein-protein interaction of C terminal Binding Proteins ...

Synthesis of Cyclic Hexapeptides via the Hydrazide Method and Evaluation of Their Antibacterial Activities

Molecules
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising candidates in the fight against multidrug-resistant pathogens due to their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and low potential for resistance development.

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Synthesis of alpha-aspartyl-containing cyclic peptides

, 1997
alpha-Aspartyl-containing cyclic pentapeptides were synthesised in high yields using a strategy that maintained fluorenylmethyl protection on the aspartic acid side chain during chain assembly, resin cleavage and cyclisation of the linear precursors ...

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Chemical Properties, Preparation, and Pharmaceutical Effects of Cyclic Peptides from Pseudostellaria heterophylla

Molecules
Radix Pseudostellariae (Tai-Zi-Shen), the dried tuberous root of the Caryophyllaceae plant Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Miq.) Pax (P. heterophylla), has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. It is slightly bitter,
