Designability of α-helical proteins [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 A typical protein structure is a compact packing of connected α-helices and/or β-strands. We have developed a method for generating the ensemble of compact structures a given set of helices and strands can form. The method is tested on structures composed of four α-helices connected by short turns.

Allo-network drugs: Extension of the allosteric drug concept to protein-protein interaction and signaling networks [PDF]
, 2013 Allosteric drugs are usually more specific and have fewer side effects than orthosteric drugs targeting the same protein. Here, we overview the current knowledge on allosteric signal transmission from the network point of view, and show that most ...

Cyclic peptide structure prediction and design using AlphaFold2
Nature CommunicationsSmall cyclic peptides have gained significant traction as a therapeutic modality; however, the development of deep learning methods for accurately designing such peptides has been slow, mostly due to the lack of sufficiently large training sets. Here, we

Computational Design of Epitope-Specific Functional Antibodies
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: The ultimate goal of protein design is to introduce new biological activity. We propose a computational approach for designing functional antibodies by focusing on functional epitopes, integrating large-scale statistical analysis with multiple ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a recognized trigger of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); however, its incidence and impact on disease course in children remain controversial. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the clinical course of pediatric patients with CMV‐associated ITP.

Designed Spiroketal Protein Modulation [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2017 AbstractSpiroketals are structural motifs found in many biologically active natural products, which has stimulated considerable efforts toward their synthesis and interest in their use as drug lead compounds. Despite this, the use of spiroketals, and especially bisbenzanulated spiroketals, in a structure‐based drug discovery setting has not been ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric intramedullary low‐grade gliomas (PIMLGGs) are rare neoplasms that present unique clinical and management challenges. Although surgery remains the primary tool for tissue diagnosis and decompression, complete gross‐total resection is frequently unfeasible due to the infiltrative nature of these lesions.

De novo design of protein minibinder agonists of TLR3
Nature CommunicationsToll-like Receptor 3 (TLR3) is a pattern recognition receptor that initiates antiviral immune responses upon binding double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Several nucleic acid-based TLR3 agonists have been explored clinically as vaccine adjuvants in cancer and ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a frequent and serious complication in children receiving cancer therapy. Standardizing FN management across Asia is challenging due to variable healthcare infrastructure, diagnostic capacity, and infection patterns; however, it could improve resource use and patient outcomes.
