Undergraduate Students' Misconceptions About Protein Structure and Function Stem From Challenges in Visuospatial Reasoning

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the structure and function of proteins is crucial for students as it provides fundamental insights into one of the central building blocks of life. Yet, undergraduate students struggle to make sense of proteins and apply knowledge about why structure affects function.

Harnessing nanomaterials to precisely regulate the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment for enhanced immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, characterized by hypoxia, redox imbalance, elevated interstitial fluid pressure, and acidity, was comprehensively elucidated. This review discussed the etiology and consequences of the characteristics of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and analyzed the recent advancements in nanomaterials for ...

Bee‐Derived Antioxidants as a Protective Strategy Against Doxorubicin‐Induced Ovarian Damage

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract of Bee‐Derived Antioxidants as a Protective Strategy Against Doxorubicin‐Induced Ovarian Damage ABSTRACT Antineoplastic agents can induce tissue damage through oxidative stress mechanisms. Doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, has been shown to cause permanent damage to reproductive tissues.

Activity‐Enhancing Mutations in an LmrR‐Based Artificial Metalloenzyme Destabilize the Protein Scaffold and Alter its Conformational Plasticity

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
The protein LmrR is a versatile scaffold to design artificial metalloenzymes. Here, we show that the M8D/A92E (DE) mutations that result in a much more efficient catalyst, destabilize the protein dimerization interface and alter the conformation landscape when binding metal cofactor and substrates are shown.

Pathological Disulfide Bond Crosslinking: Molecular Insights into Amyloidogenesis and Diseases Progression

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
This review explores pathological disulfide‐crosslinking as a key driver of amyloidogenic protein misfolding and aggregation. Oxidative and ER stress pathways contributing to disease progression are discussed and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting disulfide‐linked aggregates in neurodegenerative and systemic amyloid diseases are examined ...

CALR Type 1‐Like Mutations Increase Endoplasmic Reticulum Free Ca2+ and Induce ERK1/2 Activation Independent of Thrombopoietin Receptor Activation

Cell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Calreticulin is a multifunctional protein found in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen that is important for calcium homeostasis and glycoprotein folding. Mutations in exon 9 of the CALR gene are the second most common genetic cause of myeloproliferative neoplasms.
