A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.

Optimization of Production Protocol of Alkaline Protease by Streptomyces pulvereceus [PDF]
Extra cellular alkaline protease producing species is an isolate from soil which was characterized and identified as Streptomyces pulvereceus MTCC 8374. Studies on submerged fermentation revealed that maximum level of enzyme production was during early stationary phase.

Drug Repurposing Targeting COVID-19 3CL Protease using Molecular Docking and Machine Learning Regression Approach [PDF]
The COVID-19 pandemic has initiated a global health emergency, with an exigent need for effective cure. Progressively, drug repurposing is emerging a promise solution as it saves the time, cost and labor. However, the number of drug candidates that have been identified as being repurposed for the treatment of COVID-19 are still insufficient, so more ...

ClgR regulation of chaperone and protease systems is essential for Mycobacterium tuberculosis parasitism of the macrophage [PDF]
Chaperone and protease systems play essential roles in cellular homeostasis and have vital functions in controlling the abundance of specific cellular proteins involved in processes such as transcription, replication, metabolism and virulence.

Inhibition of the Main Protease 3CL-pro of the Coronavirus Disease 19 via Structure-Based Ligand Design and Molecular Modeling [PDF]
We have applied a computational strategy, based on the synergy of virtual screening, docking and molecular dynamics techniques, aimed at identifying possible lead compounds for the non-covalent inhibition of the main protease 3CL-pro of the SARS-Cov2 Coronavirus.

How conformational changes can affect catalysis, inhibition and drug resistance of enzymes with induced-fit binding mechanism such as the HIV-1 protease [PDF]
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.
