The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus had led to profound respiratory health implications. This study focused on designing organoselenium-based inhibitors targeting the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M). The ligand-bi...
Understanding the fine structural details of inhibitor binding at the active site of metalloenzymes can have a profound impact on the rational drug design targeted to this broad class of biomolecules. Structural techniques such as NMR, cryo-EM, and X...
There has been considerable recent progress in designing new proteins using deep-learning methods. Despite this progress, a general deep-learning framework for protein design that enables solution of a wide range of design challenges, including de no...

Allosteric modulators are important regulation elements that bind the allosteric site beyond the active site, leading to the changes in dynamic and/or thermodynamic properties of the protein. Allosteric modulators have been a considerable interest as...
De novo enzyme design has sought to introduce active sites and substrate-binding pockets that are predicted to catalyse a reaction of interest into geometrically compatible native scaffolds, but has been limited by a lack of suitable protein structur...
Family 7 glycoside hydrolases (GH7) are among the principal enzymes for cellulose degradation in nature and industrially. These enzymes are often bimodular, including a catalytic domain and carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) attached via a flexible li...
Metalloenzymes are 40% of all enzymes and can perform all seven classes of enzyme reactions. Because of the physicochemical similarities between the active sites of metalloenzymes and inactive metal binding sites, it is challenging to differentiate b...
A global pandemic has emerged following the appearance of the new severe acute respiratory virus whose official name is the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), strongly affecting the health sector as well as the world econom...
