Evolution of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Main Protease Under Fitness Constraints Imposed by Folding Stability and Activity

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) continues to evolve and diversify, leading to the emergence of immune‐evasive variants and underscoring the need for complementary antiviral strategies targeting conserved viral machinery. In this context, the main protease (Mpro) represents a potential therapeutic target because

Rapid evolution and genetic basis of spinetoram resistance in Phthorimaea absoluta: evidence from six years of monitoring and laboratory selection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Resistance to spinetoram in Phthorimaea absoluta is rapidly selected and functionally recessive at field‐relevant concentrations. Metabolic detoxification contributes partially, while cross‐resistance to spinosad and increased susceptibility to diamides and isoxazolines highlight practical options for resistance monitoring and insecticide rotation ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Photo‐Switched Catalytic Amyloids

Small, EarlyView.
Photo‐switched reversible hierarchical assembly of catalytic amyloid fibrils is accomplished by mixing an amphiphilic cross‐ß peptide with a merocyanine photo switch. The peptide monomers, comprising phenylalanine‐lysine repeats, do not self‐assemble in water because of the electrostatic repulsion.

Molecular glues: Recent advances in cereblon substrate identification and mechanistic insights

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Molecular glues exert diverse core biological functions by inducing or stabilizing protein–protein interactions, extending far beyond the traditional scope of targeted protein degradation. Key breakthroughs include expanded cereblon substrate recognition, sustained G protein‐coupled receptor megacomplex signaling, and the first orthosteric molecular ...

Evolutionary Mechanisms of Coagulation Factors in Cetaceans During Aquatic Adaptation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Compared with Bos taurus, T. truncatus showed shorter prothrombin time and thrombin time but prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, indicating pathway‐specific remodeling of coagulation. Evolutionary analyses identified 18 positively selected genes and accelerated F11 evolution, while functional assays revealed increased coagulation factor ...
