Gout is an inflammatory arthritis caused by urate crystal accumulation, and discovering natural xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors from food and agricultural sources is of growing interest. In this study, we employed AI-driven virtual screening to iden...
This study aims to develop a comprehensive strategy to investigate whether the integration of ultra-high pressure (UHP)-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis with machine learning and molecular docking can effectively identify salty peptides (SPs) from Litop...
The growing interest in using peptide molecules as therapeutic agents, driven by their high selectivity and efficacy, has become a significant trend in the pharmaceutical industry. However, their oral administration remains challenging due to their l...
BACKGROUND: The blood-brain barrier (B) acts as a membrane that is a major concern in treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The B penetrating peptides (BPPs) play a significant role in delivering therapeutic drugs to a wide range of disord...

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a valuable source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential, including peptides, saponins, and polyphenols. In recent years, in silico tools have emerged as key strategies for predicting, characterizing, ...
AlphaFold, a deep learning-based platform widely used to predict protein and peptide structures, was employed in this study to model the self-assembling peptide RFC, which demonstrated a stable α-helical structure with high confidence. This structura...
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread antiphage defense elements in bacteria that may impede successful phage therapy. Phage-encoded inhibitors of these systems have been discovered that enhance phage infection capacity. We used fragment-based ...
Membrane curvature is a key biophysical feature that regulates diverse biological processes. A wide range of natural proteins have distinct structural motifs that can sense membrane curvature and function independently as curvature-sensing peptides. ...
Dual-omics, by integrating molecular information from two distinct dimensions, can offer more comprehensive perspective for complex disease. Herein, we developed an efficient functionalized mesoporous nanoparticle-coupled laser desorption/ionization ...
