To discover new drugs to combat COVID-19, an understanding of the molecular basis SARS-CoV-2 infection is urgently needed. Here, for first time, we report crucial role cathepsin L (CTSL) in patients with COVID-19. The circulating level CTSL was elevated after and positively correlated disease course severity. Correspondingly, pseudovirus increased expression human cells vitro ACE2 transgenic mice vivo, while overexpression, turn, enhanced cells. functionally cleaved spike protein virus...

The spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an important target for vaccine and drug development. However, the rapid emergence variant strains with mutated S proteins has rendered many treatments ineffective. Cleavage by host proteases essential viral infection. Here, we discovered that contains two previously unidentified Cathepsin L (CTSL) cleavage sites (CS-1 CS-2). Both are highly conserved among all known SARS-CoV-2 variants. Our structural...

Coptis chinensis is an ancient Chinese herb treating diabetes in China for thousands of years. However, its underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we report the effects main active component, berberine (BBR), on stimulating insulin secretion. In mice with hyperglycemia induced by a high-fat diet, BBR significantly increases secretion and reduced blood glucose levels. global or pancreatic islet β-cell-specific Kcnh6 knockout, does not exert beneficial effects. directly binds...

Cathepsin L (CTSL), a cysteine protease that can cleave and activate the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein, could be promising therapeutic target for disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, there is still no clinically available CTSL inhibitor used. Here, we applied Chemprop, newly trained directed-message passing deep neural network approach, to identify small molecules FDA-approved drugs block activity expand discovery of inhibitors drug development...

Calcium phosphate crystals, as the main component of dentin and enamel, have been widely used for occlusion dentinal tubules. However, low bond strength poor sealing effect limit their clinical practicality. In this study, a collagen/calcium dual-affinitive peptide E8DS (EEEEEEEEDSpESpSpEEDR) nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) flocculi were developed to seal tubules reducing hypersensitivity, whereas peptides pre-applied improve adhesion occlusive hydroxyapatite coating on collagen matrix...

The aroma profile of sun-dried black tea (SBT) was identified by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). A total 37 scents were captured using the GC-O technique, 35 odor intensities ranging from 1.09 ± 1.93 to 9.91 0.29 identified. Twenty-one compounds further as key odor-active activity values (OAVs) greater than or equal one. These restructured their detected concentrations, selected...

A pristine, redox-active triphenylstibine based COF (Sb-COF) exhibits well-uniform nanostructures which could provide sufficient electron conduction pathways and minimize the ion transport lengths, making moieties readily accessible by electrolyte. The assembled Sb-COF//rGO thus provides an excellent energy density of 69 W h Kg-1.
