Drugs Based on de novo-developed Peptides are Coming of Age
Naturally evolved peptides, such as the hormone oxytocin or the anti-bacterial vancomycin, have seen decades of success as powerful therapeutics due to many of the favorable properties of peptides.

PEP-FOLD3: faster de novo structure prediction for linear peptides in solution and in complex
Structure determination of linear peptides of 5–50 amino acids in aqueous solution and interacting with proteins is a key aspect in structural biology. PEP-FOLD3 is a novel computational framework, that allows both (i) de novo free or biased prediction ...

Peptide Bioinformatics- Peptide Classification Using Peptide Machines [PDF]
Peptides scanned from whole protein sequences are the core information for many peptide bioinformatics research such as functional site prediction, protein structure identification, and protein function recognition. In these applications, we normally need to assign a peptide to one of the given categories using a computer model.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Designer lipid-like peptides [PDF]
A crucial bottleneck in membrane protein studies, particularly G-protein coupled receptors, is the notorious difficulty of finding an optimal detergent that can solubilize them and maintain their stability and function. Here we report rapid production of

Inhibitory eff ect and mechanism of oyster enzymatic hydrolysate on lung metastasis in the subcutaneous lewis lung cancer model in mice [PDF]
In order to investigate the inhibitory eff ects of oyster enzymatic hydrolysate (OEH) on the metastasis of Lewis lung cancer and to evaluate its mechanism, daily gavage of low(LOEH), medium(MOEH) and high (HOEH) doses of OEH for 5 weeks was administered ...

Macrocyclic Peptides as Drug Candidates: Recent Progress and Remaining Challenges.
Peptides as a therapeutic modality attract much attention due to their synthetic accessibility, high degree of specific binding, and the ability to target protein surfaces traditionally considered "undruggable".
