Proteolysis-targeting chimaeras (PROTACs) are molecules that combine a target-binding warhead with an E3 ligase-recruiting moiety; by drawing the target protein into ternary complex ligase, PROTACs induce degradation. While hold exciting potential as chemical probes and therapeutic agents, development of PROTAC typically requires synthesis numerous analogs to thoroughly explore variations on linker; without extensive trial error, it is unclear how link two protein-recruiting moieties promote...
PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are hetero-bifunctional small molecules that can simultaneously recruit target proteins and E3 ligases to form a ternary complex, promoting protein ubiquitination degradation via the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System (UPS). PROTACs have gained increasing attention in recent years due certain advantages over traditional therapeutic modalities enabling targeting of previously "undruggable" proteins. To better understand mechanism PROTAC-induced Target Protein...
Protein-protein interactions represent an exciting and challenging target class for therapeutic intervention using small molecules. Protein interaction sites are often devoid of the deep surface pockets presented by "traditional" drug targets, crystal structures reveal that inhibitors typically engage these very shallow binding modes. As a consequence, modern virtual screening tools developed to identify traditional targets do not perform as well when they instead deployed at protein sites....

Abstract RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, and thus underlie many important biological processes. Here, we developed a strategy that entails extracting "hotspot pharmacophore" from the structure protein-RNA complex, to create template for designing small-molecule inhibitors exploring selectivity resulting inhibitors. We demonstrate this approach by Musashi MSI1 MSI2, mRNA stability translation upregulated in cancers. report novel series...

In order to maximize the utility of optical scattering technology in area bacterial colony identification, it is necessary have a thorough understanding how bacteria species grow into different morphological aggregation and subsequently function as distinctive amplitude phase modulators alter incoming Gaussian laser beam. this paper, 2-dimentional reaction-diffusion (RD) model with nutrient concentration, diffusion coefficient, agar hardness variables investigated explain correlation between...
To experimentally analyze the morphological characteristics and to predict resulting scattering patterns of different bacterial colonies, an optical morphology analyzer was constructed based on a laser confocal displacement meter simultaneously obtain properties colonies. The profile data accurately captured using triangulation technology transmitted light collected by photodiode circuit. analog signals were read into acquisition board in parallel for off-line signal processing. This...
