Membrane‐Permeable Nucleoside T‐1106 Diphosphate and Triphosphate Analogues as Antiviral Pronucleotides

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Favipiravir (T‐705) and the non‐fluorinated counterpart (T‐1106) are antiviral agents that inhibit the RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of various RNA viruses. The antiviral efficacy of nucleoside analogues is strongly dependent on their intracellular activation by cellular kinases to produce their corresponding triphosphate metabolites (T‐705‐RTP ...

Bio‐Inspired, Zwitterionic Copolymers with Amphiphilic Character

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Zwitterionic copolymers based on arginine‐derived monomers are produced by xanthate‐supported photo‐iniferter reversible‐addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer polymerization. Experiments in relevant conditions show that the designed (co)polymers hardly interact with biologically relevant proteins and enzymes such as bovine serum albumine (BSA), fetal ...

Insight Into the Interaction Between RNA Polymerase and VPg for Murine Norovirus Replication

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Norovirus (NoV) is a leading cause of epidemic acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis, and replicates through virion protein genome-linked (VPg)-primed or de novo RNA synthesis by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).

Stringent control of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase translocation revealed by multiple intermediate structures

Nature Communications, 2020
During translocation by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRP), the template-product RNA duplex moves in an asymmetric manner. Here the authors describe several crystal structures of RdRP translocations intermediates that, along with enzymological ...

Arsonic Acid Functional Polymers Enable Stabilization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Aqueous Solution

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Arsonic acid containing diblock copolymers are developed to incorporate arsonic acid moieties for surface anchoring to IONPs, along with water soluble PEG blocks to impart colloidal stability in aqueous environments. The resulting polymer‐coated IONPs are evaluated for stability in physiological media and cytocompatibility.

Crystallisation of Zika NS5 RdRp v1

The main aim of this work was to identify small molecules that bind Zika NS5 RdRp (catalytic RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domain) through X-ray fragment-based screening. The Zika NS5 RDRP domain was cloned, expressed, purified, and crystallised. Suitable crystals for fragment screening were produced and optimised allowing an extensive fragment ...

An Inimer Approach Based on Photo Iniferter RAFT Polymerization Toward One‐Pot Bottlebrush Copolymers Featuring Grafts From Less Activated Monomers

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
We present a stepwise one‐pot synthesis of bottlebrush copolymers using the inimer approach for less activated monomers (LAMs). Under the irradiation of wavelength 1 (λ1), an acrylamide‐based inimer was polymerized to create a backbone with active sites for grafting.
