Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 475-512, March 2026.ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Molecular Glue Degraders Redefining Targeted Therapies From Discovery to Therapeutic Applications
MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) constitute an emerging class of therapeutic agents poised to revolutionize the paradigm of targeted drug discovery. By reprogramming E3 ubiquitin ligases to degrade proteins of interest (POI) via a transient formation of a ternary complex mediated by protein–protein interactions, MGDs surpass the intrinsic limitations of

The cytokinesis regulator RacGAP1 is a Rac1‐specific GAP on membranes
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Rho family small GTPases are essential for cytokinesis completion. RacGAP1, a dimeric multidomain protein with a lipid‐binding C1 domain and a GTPase‐activating protein (GAP) domain, is a major regulator in this process. However, despite many cellular and biochemical studies, whether RhoA or Rac1 is the actual substrate inactivated by RacGAP1 ...

Prokaryotic PfaB is a terminal acyltransferase that determines the final PUFA product
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential for human health due to their numerous beneficial biological properties. These compounds are synthesized in marine bacteria and eukaryotic microalgae by PUFA megasynthases (Pfas), which are evolutionarily related to fatty acid synthases (FAS) and polyketide synthases (PKS). In FAS, PKS,

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Allosteric modulation enables precise control of protein activity but remains difficult to harness for selective inhibitor design. Traditional high‐throughput screening for allosteric modulators is still costly and time‐consuming, underscoring the need for predictive computational approaches.

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract NDRG1 is a multifunctional regulatory human protein implicated in crucial cellular processes and acting as a central hub of a cancer‐related interactome. In lung cancer, increased NDRG1 expression is associated with resistance to chemotherapy and is linked to the cellular response to nickel, a known tumor driver in air pollution.

Comparative Analysis of Deep Learning‐Based Algorithms for Peptide Structure Prediction
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 3, Page 675-691, March 2026.ABSTRACT While of primary importance in both the biomedical and therapeutic fields, peptides suffer from a relative lack of dedicated tools to predict efficiently and accurately their 3D structures despite being a crucial step in understanding their physio‐pathological function or designing new drugs. In recent years, deep‐learning methods have enabled
