Bi-steric mTORC1 inhibitors induce apoptotic cell death in tumor models with hyperactivated mTORC1

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is commonly dysregulated in cancer. Rapalogs exhibit modest clinical benefit, likely owing to their lack of effects on 4EBP1. We hypothesized that bi-steric mTORC1-selective inhibitors would have greater potential for clinical ...

Alkene selenenylation: A comprehensive analysis of relative reactivities, stereochemistry and asymmetric induction, and their comparisons with sulfenylation

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011
A broad perspective of various factors influencing alkene selenenylation has been developed by concurrent detailed analysis of key experimental and theoretical data, such as asymmetric induction, stereochemistry, relative reactivities, and comparison ...

A Computational Evaluation of the Steric and Electronic Contributions in Stereoselective Olefin Polymerization with Pyridylamido-Type Catalysts

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
A density functional theory (DFT) study combined with the steric maps of buried volume (%VBur) as molecular descriptors and an energy decomposition analysis through the ASM (activation strain model)–NEDA (natural energy decomposition analysis) approach ...

Breaking Trade‐Off between Selectivity and Activity of Nickel‐Based Hydrogenation Catalysts by Tuning Both Steric Effect and d‐Band Center

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2019
For selective hydrogenation of chemicals the high selectivity is always at the expense of activity and improving both selectivity and activity is challenging.

Sea-level trend variability in the Mediterranean during the 1993–2019 period

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Sea-level change is one of the most concerning climate change and global warming consequences, especially impacting coastal societies and environments. The spatial and temporal variability of sea level is neither linear nor globally uniform, especially ...

Poisson-Fermi Formulation of Nonlocal Electrostatics in Electrolyte Solutions

open access: yesComputational and Mathematical Biophysics, 2017
We present a nonlocal electrostatic formulation of nonuniform ions and water molecules with interstitial voids that uses a Fermi-like distribution to account for steric and correlation efects in electrolyte solutions.

Steric Effects Govern the Photoactivation of Phytochromes

open access: yesChemPhysChem, 2016
AbstractPhytochromes constitute a superfamily of photoreceptor proteins existing in two forms that absorb red (Pr) and far‐red (Pfr) light. Although it is well‐known that the conversion of Pr into Pfr (the biologically active form) is triggered by a Z→E photoisomerization of the linear tetrapyrrole chromophore, direct evidence is scarce as to why this ...

Mechanistic basis for inhibition of the extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase GES‐1 by enmetazobactam and tazobactam

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of huge importance, resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. Here, we describe how a new drug, enmetazobactam, designed to help fight resistant bacterial diseases, inhibits a key enzyme (GES‐1) responsible for AMR. Our data show it is a more potent inhibitor than the related tazobactam, with high‐level computation

Linked dimers of the AAA+ ATPase Msp1 reveal energetic demands and mechanistic plasticity for substrate extraction from lipid bilayers

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells must clear mislocalized or faulty proteins from membranes to survive. The AAA+ ATPase Msp1 performs this task, but dissecting how its six subunits work together is challenging. We engineered linked dimers with varied numbers of functional subunits to reveal how Msp1 subunits cooperate and use energy to extract proteins from the lipid bilayer ...

Photosynthesis under far‐red light—evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light‐harvesting complexes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.
