Intestinal permeability of N-acetylcysteine is driven by gut microbiota-dependent cysteine palmitoylation.

Nature communications
Trillions of intestinal microbiota are essential to the permeability of orally administered drugs. However, identifying microbial-drug interactions remains challenging due to the highly variable composition of intestinal flora among individuals. Usin...

CovCysPredictor: Predicting Selective Covalently Modifiable Cysteines Using Protein Structure and Interpretable Machine Learning.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Targeted covalent inhibition is a powerful therapeutic modality in the drug discoverer's toolbox. Recent advances in covalent drug discovery, in particular, targeting cysteines, have led to significant breakthroughs for traditionally challenging targ...

Machine Learning-Assisted Liquid Crystal Optical Sensor Array Using Cysteine-Functionalized Silver Nanotriangles for Pathogen Detection in Food and Water.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
The challenge of rapid identification of bacteria in food and water still persists as a major health problem. To tackle this matter, we have developed a single-probe liquid crystal (LC)-based optical sensing platform for the differentiation of five c...

Reactivities of acrylamide warheads toward cysteine targets: a QM/ML approach to covalent inhibitor design.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Covalent inhibition offers many advantages over non-covalent inhibition, but covalent warhead reactivity must be carefully balanced to maintain potency while avoiding unwanted side effects. While warhead reactivities are commonly measured with assays...

CysPresso: a classification model utilizing deep learning protein representations to predict recombinant expression of cysteine-dense peptides.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Cysteine-dense peptides (CDPs) are an attractive pharmaceutical scaffold that display extreme biochemical properties, low immunogenicity, and the ability to bind targets with high affinity and selectivity. While many CDPs have potential a...

CoO/CoFeO Hollow Nanocube Multifunctional Nanozyme with Oxygen Vacancies for Deep-Learning-Assisted Smartphone Biosensing and Organic Pollutant Degradation.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Although the application of nanozymes has been widely studied, it is still a huge challenge to develop highly active and multifunctional nanozyme catalysts with a wider application prospect. CoO/CoFeO hollow nanocubes (HNCs) with oxygen vacancies wer...

Discovery of novel SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease covalent inhibitors using deep learning-based screen.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease is one of the key targets for drug development against COVID-19. Most known SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors act by covalently binding to the active site cysteine. Yet, computational screens against this enzyme were mainly f...

Mul-SNO: A Novel Prediction Tool for S-Nitrosylation Sites Based on Deep Learning Methods.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Protein s-nitrosylation (SNO) is one of the most important post-translational modifications and is formed by the covalent modification of nitric oxide and cysteine residues. Extensive studies have shown that SNO plays a pivotal role in the plant immu...

Prediction and analysis of redox-sensitive cysteines using machine learning and statistical methods.

Biological chemistry
Reactive oxygen species are produced by a number of stimuli and can lead both to irreversible intracellular damage and signaling through reversible post-translational modification. It is unclear which factors contribute to the sensitivity of cysteine...
