A personal 360° view of applications of ‘biomimetic’ molecular recognition

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 7, Page 1300-1311, July 2026.
Abstract Molecular recognition between biological molecules has formed the basis for innumerable applications in biotechnology for the last seven decades or so. Techniques such as affinity chromatography, solid‐phase and aqueous two‐phase extraction, affinity precipitation, biomimetic catalytic systems, biosensors and molecular imprinting all exploit ...

Prion degradation pathways: Potential for therapeutic intervention

, 2015
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders. Pathology is closely linked to the misfolding of native cellular PrP(C) into the disease-associated form PrP(Sc) that accumulates in the brain as disease progresses. Although treatments have yet to be

Studies of the transmissibility of the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to the domestic chicken

, 2011
Background: Transmission of the prion disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) occurred accidentally to cattle and several other mammalian species via feed supplemented with meat and bone meal contaminated with infected bovine tissue.

Fusion protein condensate formation via coiled‐coil domains

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract While recent research shows that biomolecular condensates play important roles in normal cellular processes and diseases, the driving forces in condensate formation are not well understood, especially regarding the role of structured self‐associative protein domains.

Single-cell transcriptomics unveils molecular signatures of neuronal vulnerability in a mouse model of prion disease that overlap with Alzheimer’s disease

Nature Communications
Understanding why certain neurons are more sensitive to dysfunction and death caused by misfolded proteins could provide therapeutically relevant insights into neurodegenerative disorders.

PolyProline Predictor: A web server for empirical sequence‐based prediction of polyproline II helices

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Polyproline II (PPII) helices are extended left‐handed secondary structures increasingly recognized for their roles in molecular recognition, signaling and within intrinsically disordered regions of proteins. Despite their functional importance, predicting regions with propensity to form PPII helices from sequence alone remains challenging due

A Practical Framework for GT‐Seq Panel Optimization

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Genotyping‐in‐thousands by sequencing (GT‐seq) panels are powerful tools in ecological, evolutionary and conservation genomics, yet the optimization process critical for robust and reproducible genotyping remains poorly formalized. Here, we present an iterative workflow for GT‐seq panel optimization that emphasizes systematic refinement ...

Rapid generation of prion disease models using AAV‐delivered PrP variants in knockout mice

Brain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
We developed a rapid AAV‐based system to generate prion disease models in weeks rather than months. Following systemic AAV9P31 delivery of modified PrP to knockout mice, we achieved brain‐wide expression and successful propagation of both classical (RML) and atypical (GSS‐A117V) prion strains.
