Poly(ethylene glycol)‐based Peptidomimetics (Pegtides) of Antimicrobial Peptides
Cationic amphipathic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐based polymers were generated with synthetic efficiencies allowing their evaluation as Antimicrobial Peptide (AMP) mimetics. Accordingly, statistical copolymers with cationic units consistently functionalised with guanyl groups, but different side‐chain lengths, and hydrophobic units displaying long ...

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...

Previous studies reveal an unexpected tendency for amyloid aggregation in specific regions of the C‐terminal domain (CTD) of nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), a nucleolar chaperone involved in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Herein, several peptide analogs of NPM1264‐277 (amyloid core) with conservative substitutions are designed and evaluated through biophysical ...

Advancing the Exploration of the Ubiquitin‐like Protein FUBI with Synthetic Chemical Tools
This study unveils a novel synthetic platform by solid‐phase peptide synthesis for generating FUBI‐based chemical tools to investigate FUBIylation, a poorly understood ubiquitin‐like signaling process linked to cancer. By employing these innovative probes, we uncover novel FUBI interactors, paving the way for transformative insights into FUBI biology ...

Computational De Novo Design of Group II Introns Yields Highly Active Ribozymes
Group II Introns (G2Is) are large self‐splicing ribozymes with promising biotechnological applications. This study utilized RNA inverse folding to design three novel G2Is. The designed intron Arq.I2, an unexpectedly proficient ribozyme, self‐splices not only in vitro, but also in Escherichia coli cells.
