Understanding SARS-CoV-2 human protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and the host response to infection is essential for developing effective COVID-19 antivirals. However, how the ancestral virus and its variants remodel virus-host protein assemblies i...
The multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins MATE1 and MATE2K may determine the pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions of many drugs. However, their substrate spectrum and synergy with organic cation transporters OCT1 and OCT2 remain incompletely ...

The -1 programmed ribosomal frameshifting (-1 PRF) in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is crucial for keeping the balance between pp1a and pp1ab polyproteins. To date, the host factors influencing this process remain poorl...
Prime editing (PE) is a precise tool for introducing genetic mutations in eukaryotes. Extending the efficient editing scope and mitigating undesired byproducts are possible. We introduce reverse PE (rPE), a SpCas9-directed variant that enabled DNA ed...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Artocarpus lacucha Buch. -Ham. (syn. Artocarpus lakoocha) (A. lacucha), is a tropical fruit tree and a member of the Moraceae family. Fruit, bark, foliage, and roots of A. lacucha are broadly utilized in folklore medic...
The first step in bottom-up proteomics is the assignment of measured fragmentation mass spectra to peptide sequences, also known as peptide spectrum matches. In recent years novel algorithms have pushed the assignment to new heights; unfortunately, d...
Artificial neural networks provide a powerful paradigm for nonbiological information processing. To understand whether similar principles could enable computation within living cells, we combined de novo-designed protein heterodimers and engineered v...

Cytotoxicity is essential in drug discovery, enabling early evaluation of toxic compounds during screenings to minimize toxicological risks. assays support high-throughput screening, allowing for efficient detection of toxic substances while conside...
Transposon (IS200/IS605)-encoded TnpB proteins are predecessors of class 2 type V CRISPR effectors and have emerged as one of the most compact genome editors identified thus far. Here, we optimized the design of Deinococcus radiodurans (ISDra2) TnpB ...
Marine antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a promising source for combating infections, especially against antibiotic-resistant pathogens and traditionally challenging infections. However, traditional drug discovery methods face challenges such a...
