The present study was aimed to explore the anti-venom activity of Aristolochia indica and Piper nigrum plants against the centipede (Scolopendra moristans) envenomation in animal model. In vtiro phytochemical, antioxidant and blocking of proteolysis ...
Identification of bioactive milk peptides could improve food technology through improved selection of food supplements with a focus on antihypertensive properties. We hypothesized that angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of mi...
The development of a fast and ultrasensitive protease detection method is a challenging task. This paper reports ultrasensitive protease sensors exploiting (i) selective affinity binding, (ii) selective proteolytic reaction, and (iii) proximity-depen...
BACKGROUND: The Proteasix Ontology (PxO) is an ontology that supports the Proteasix tool; an open-source peptide-centric tool that can be used to predict automatically and in a large-scale fashion in silico the proteases involved in the generation of...

The MYC protein is an oncoprotein that plays a crucial role in various cancers. Although its significance has been well recognized in research, the development of drugs targeting MYC remains relatively slow. In this study, we developed a novel MYC pe...
MOTIVATION: Accurately predicting the degradation capabilities of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) for given target proteins and E3 ligases is important for PROTAC design. The distinctive ternary structure of PROTACs presents a challenge to t...
PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) has recently emerged as a promising technology. However, the design of rational PROTACs, especially the linker component, remains challenging due to the absence of structure-activity relationships and experime...
