A large number of mycotoxins and related fungal metabolites have not been assessed in terms of their toxicological impacts. Current methodologies often prioritize specific target families, neglecting the complexity and presence of co-occurring compou...
The global impact of SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted the urgent need for novel antiviral therapies. This study integrates combinatorial chemistry, molecular docking, and deep learning to design, evaluate and synthesize new pyrazole derivatives as potentia...
A key molecular dysfunction in heart failure is the reduced activity of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase (SERCA2a) in cardiac muscle cells. Reactivating SERCA2a improves cardiac function in heart failure models, making it a validated targ...
Bioactivity optimization is a crucial and technical task in the early stages of drug discovery, traditionally carried out through iterative substituent optimization, a process that is often both time-consuming and expensive. To address this challenge...
Non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) are promising lead compounds for novel antibiotics. Bioinformatic mining of silent microbial NRPS gene clusters provide crucial insights for the discovery and de novo design of bioactive peptides. Here, we describe the e...
