Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are fundamental to a variety of biological processes, but targeting them with small molecules is challenging because of their large and complex interaction interfaces. However, peptides have emerged as highly promi...
Soft robotics has undergone considerable progress driven by materials that can effectively transduce external stimuli into mechanical actuation. Here, we report the development of a photothermal-responsive hydrogel actuator with shape memory capabili...
Pancreatic α-amylase breaks down starch into isomaltose and maltose, which are further hydrolyzed by α-glucosidase in the intestine into monosaccharides, rapidly raising blood sugar levels and contributing to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Syntheti...
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a potent glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in regulating innate and adaptive immunity, as well as metabolism. The expression and release of IL-6 are closely correlated with the severity of various diseases. IL-6-inducing ...

Hypertension is a major global health concern, and there is a need for new antihypertensive agents derived from natural sources. This study aims to identify novel angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors from bioactive peptides derived from f...
Worldwide, Cancer remains a significant health concern due to its high mortality rates. Despite numerous traditional therapies and wet-laboratory methods for treating cancer-affected cells, these approaches often face limitations, including high cost...
Peptide sequencing via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is essential in proteomics. Unlike traditional database searches, deep learning excels at de novo peptide sequencing, even for peptides missing from existing databases. Current deep learning mod...
peptide sequencing is a valuable technique in mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, as it deduces peptide sequences directly from tandem mass spectra without relying on sequence databases. This database-independent method, however, relies solely on im...
