How conformational changes can affect catalysis, inhibition and drug resistance of enzymes with induced-fit binding mechanism such as the HIV-1 protease [PDF]
, 2013 A central question is how the conformational changes of proteins affect their function and the inhibition of this function by drug molecules. Many enzymes change from an open to a closed conformation upon binding of substrate or inhibitor molecules.

Carica papaya Leaf Extract Inhibits SARS-CoV-2 Main Proteases but not Human TMPRSS2: An In-vitro and In-silico Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Carica papaya (CP) leaf is long known for its traditional pharmacological effects against dengue virus and malaria. Therefore, CP could also be a potential solution for the treatment of other infectious diseases, such as coronavirus. In this study, we evaluate the potential effect of the ethanolic CP leaf extract in inhibiting the enzymatic activity of

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...

In Silico Investigations on the Potential Inhibitors for COVID-19 Protease [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A novel strain of coronavirus, namely, COVID-19 has been identified in Wuhan city of China in December 2019. There are no specific therapies available and investigations regarding the treatment of the COVID-19 are still lacking. This prompted us to perform a preliminary in silico study on the COVID-19 protease with anti-malarial compounds in the search
