Degrading Light
Lou Lab
Targeted protein degradation has rapidly matured into a transformative drug discovery approach, offering ways to dismantle proteins once deemed undruggable. While classical proteolysis-targeting chimeras, PROTACs, …
Blocking Metastasis
Kennedy Lab
Metastasis remains the leading cause of cancer mortality, and one driver of this process is the actin cytoskeleton remodeling mediated by WASF3, a protein strongly …
Barrier Crossing
Pires Lab
Tuberculosis, TB, remains one of the most pressing global health threats, with more than ten million cases reported in 2022. Once thought to be in …
Peptide Galanin Binding
Patnaik Lab
In a landmark study, published in ACS Chemical Biology, researchers from the Samarjit Patnaik group at the National Institutes of Health, report the development …
Protein Phosphorylation
Köhn Lab
Professor Maja Köhn took the stage at the 29th American Peptide Symposium in San Diego, her presentation, "Targeting Phosphatases with Peptides and Phosphomimetics," offered a …
Conformational Equilibrium
Serianni Lab
The conformational behavior of alanine dipeptide, Ac-L-Ala-NHMe, 1, has long made it a model compound in molecular simulation studies. However, despite numerous …
Proline Scanning
Wu Lab
Disulfide-rich peptides, DRPs, are renowned for their stability and therapeutic promise, yet their natural structures offer limited flexibility for evolution or functional adaptation. In an …
Shaping Peptide Assemblies
Jiang Lab
Peptides capable of folding into defined secondary structures serve as promising modular building blocks for supramolecular materials. However, conventional approaches to peptide-based self-assembly are often …
Delivery of Peptide-LYTAC
Luan Lab
While immune checkpoint blockade, ICB, therapies have transformed cancer immunotherapy, tumors such as melanoma frequently exploit the CD47-SIRPα axis to evade macrophage-mediated clearance. Antibody-based CD47 …
Peptide Anti Obesity 2.0
David Lab
Obesity is a leading contributor to global disease burden and a primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes, yet current treatments often lack specificity and …
Intracellular Targeting
Futaki Lab
The delivery of biomacromolecules directly into the cytosol remains a central challenge in therapeutic peptide science. Coacervate-based systems offer a promising platform, yet many are …
Rational Design
Gellman Lab
The rational construction of stable hetero-oligomeric protein complexes with defined subunit composition is a central challenge in molecular design. In this study, published in the …
