The emergence and immune evasion ability of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strains, mainly BA.5.2 and BF.7 and other variants of concern have raised global apprehensions. With this context, the discovery of multitarget inhibitors may be proven more comprehensive...
A generalized understanding of protein dynamics is an unsolved scientific problem, the solution of which is critical to the interpretation of the structure-function relationships that govern essential biological processes. Here, we approach this prob...

Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have enabled modeling macromolecular complexes that are essential components of the cellular machinery. The density maps derived from cryo-EM experiments are often integrated with manual, knowledg...
One of the emerging epidemic concerns is Monkeypox disease which is spreading globally. This disease is caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), with an increasing global incidence with an outbreak in 2022. One of the novel targets for monkeypox disease...
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel belongs to the transient receptor potential channel superfamily and participates in many physiological processes. TRPV1 modulators (both agonists and antagonists) can effectively inhibit pa...

Flavonoids, especially their inhibitory effect on DPP-IV activity, have been widely recognized for their antidiabetic effects. However, the variety of natural flavonoid derivatives is very rich, and even subtle structural differences can lead to seve...
PD-L1 is a key immunotarget involved in binding to its receptor PD-1. PD-L1/PD-1 interface blocking using antibodies (or small molecules) is the central area of interest for tumor suppression in various cancers. Blocking the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway in the...
CONTEXT: Staphylococcus aureus is a highly pathogenic organism that is the most common cause of postoperative complications as well as severe infections like bacteremia and infective endocarditis. By mediating the formation of biofilms and the expres...
