Side-chain conformational changes upon protein-protein association [PDF]
Conformational changes upon protein-protein association are the key element of the binding mechanism. The study presents a systematic large-scale analysis of such conformational changes in the side chains.

Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) are an auspicious class of materials that allow for the introduction of sulfonic acid groups at the aromatic core units by post-synthetic modification. This makes PAFs promising for proton-exchange materials.

Side Chain-Modified Benzothiazinone Derivatives with Anti-Mycobacterial Activity
Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading infectious disease with serious antibiotic resistance. The benzothiazinone (BTZ) scaffold PBTZ169 kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) through the inhibition of the essential cell wall enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D ...

Too packed to change: side-chain packing and site-specific substitution rates in protein evolution [PDF]
In protein evolution, due to functional and biophysical constraints, the rates of amino acid substitution differ from site to site. Among the best predictors of site-specific rates are solvent accessibility and packing density.

Ligand recognition by 14‐3‐3 proteins requires negative charges but not necessarily phosphorylation
Interactions of 14‐3‐3 proteins with their binding partners are attributed to phosphorylation of the binding partners. In this work, we show that at least one negative charge is required for the peptides to bind 14‐3‐3ε, although phosphorylation is not necessary, and that two negative charges are preferable for high affinity binding.

Folding in lattice models with side chains [PDF]
The folding kinetics of three-dimensional lattice Go models with side chains is studied using two different Monte Carlo move sets. A flexible move set based on single, double and triple backbone moves is found to be far superior compared to the standard Monte Carlo dynamics.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.
