Potent inhibitors active against HIV reverse transcriptase with K101P, a mutation conferring rilpivirine resistance [PDF]
Catechol diether compounds have nanomolar antiviral and enzymatic activity against HIV with reverse transcriptase (RT) variants containing K101P, a mutation that confers high-level resistance to FDA-approved non-nucleoside inhibitors efavirenz and ...

Tuning Polyacrylate Composition to Recognize and Modulate Fluorescent Proteins
Random hetero oligomers (RHOs) of defined compositions are synthesized and fractionated to identify the chemical design criteria (charge, length, hydrophobicity) required to achieve nanomolar binding to green fluorescent protein, resulting in >100% fluorescence increases.

Potent single-domain antibodies that arrest respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein in its prefusion state [PDF]
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children. The RSV fusion protein (F) is highly conserved and is the only viral membrane protein that is essential for infection.

A potent human neutralizing antibody Fc-dependently reduces established HBV infections
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health problem. Currently-available therapies are ineffective in curing chronic HBV infection. HBV and its satellite hepatitis D virus (HDV) infect hepatocytes via binding of the preS1 domain of its ...

Ternatin and improved synthetic variants kill cancer cells by targeting the elongation factor-1A ternary complex. [PDF]
Cyclic peptide natural products have evolved to exploit diverse protein targets, many of which control essential cellular processes. Inspired by a series of cyclic peptides with partially elucidated structures, we designed synthetic variants of ternatin,

Rice endosperm is cost-effective for the production of recombinant griffithsin with potent activity against HIV [PDF]
Protein microbicides containing neutralizing antibodies and antiviral lectins may help to reduce the rate of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if it is possible to manufacture the components in large quantities at a cost affordable in HIV‐
