Increased interest in covalent drug discovery led to the development of computer programs predicting binding mode and affinity inhibitors. Here we compare performance six docking tools, AutoDock4, CovDock, FITTED, GOLD, ICM-Pro, MOE, for reproducing experimental modes an unprecedently large diverse set complexes. It was found that 40–60% top scoring ligand poses are within 2.0 Å RMSD from mode. This rate showed program dependent increase achieved 50–90% when best among ten considered. is...
Immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) resistance is a key clinical challenge in myeloma treatment. Previous data suggests almost one third of patients acquire mutations the IMiD effector cereblon by time they are pomalidomide refractory. Some events, including stop codons/frameshift and copy loss, having clearly explicable effects on function. Missense have also been reported throughout length but their functional impact has not systematically studied. This study modelled selected missense examined...
Here we present WIDOCK, a virtual screening protocol that supports the selection of diverse electrophiles as covalent inhibitors by incorporating ligand reactivity towards cysteine residues into AutoDock4. WIDOCK applies reactive docking method (Backus et al. in Nature 534:570-574, 2016) and extends it tool introducing facile experimental or computational parametrization focused evaluation scheme together with retrospective prospective validation against various therapeutically relevant...
Abstract Small molecules inducing protein degradation are important pharmacological tools to interrogate complex biology and rapidly translating into clinical agents. However, fully realise the potential of these molecules, selectivity remains a limiting challenge. Herein, we addressed issue in design CRL4 CRBN recruiting PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs). Thalidomide derivatives used generate PROTACs have well described intrinsic monovalent profiles by recruitment neo‐substrates,...
To address the limitation associated with degron based systems, we have developed iTAG, a synthetic tag on IMiDs/CELMoDs mechanism of action that improves and addresses limitations both PROTAC previous IMiDs/CeLMoDs tags. Using structural sequence analysis, systematically explored native chimeric containing domains (DCDs) evaluated their ability to induce degradation. We identified optimal iTAG(DCD23 60aa) elicits robust degradation targets across cell types subcellular localizations without...
Thanks to recent guidelines, the design of safe and effective covalent drugs has gained significant interest. Other than targeting non-conserved nucleophilic residues, optimizing noncovalent binding framework is important improve potency selectivity binders toward desired target. Significant efforts have been made in extending computational toolkits include a mechanism protein targeting, like development docking methods for mode prediction. To highlight value complex process, here we...
A virtual screening workflow for fragment-sized kinase inhibitors is presented, along with a newly identified and validated hinge binder fragment.
Dietary, anthropometric, and chronic disease risk factors (CDRF) including blood lipids pressure (BP), were measured in 91 vitamin-mineral supplement users (SU) nonusers (NU) representing a wide range of athletic interests. Supplements used by 46 (51%) subjects; 100% female athletes 51% male supplements while none group 15 control subjects currently supplements. Both dietary intake energy expenditure using 7-day records. Adiposity was determined from body weight, mass index, skinfolds. Total...
Large-scale virtual screening of boronic acid derivatives was performed to identify nonpeptidic covalent inhibitors the β5i subunit immunoproteasome. A hierarchical cascade including noncovalent and docking steps applied a library over 104,000 compounds. Then, 32 hits were selected, out which five experimentally confirmed. Biophysical biochemical tests showed micromolar binding affinity time-dependent inhibitory potency for two These results validate computational protocol that allows large...
Background: Human lactate dehydrogenase 5 (hLDH5) represents a promising anticancer target, particularly for the treatment of hypoxic tumors, where it is often hyperexpressed. In fact, by catalyzing reduction pyruvate to lactate, hLDH5 allows survival tumor cells under conditions means glycolysis. Despite efforts dedicated identification and development inhibitors, only few compounds showing activity in cancer cell lines have been reported. Objective: present study, we developed virtual...
Abstract Alternative splicing is a molecular mechanism that allows single gene to encode multiple proteins. It complex and highly controlled process used regulate normal expression but often dysregulated in cancer. Compounds can modulate alternative are currently being explored as potential new class of therapeutic agent This highlights the need for deeper understanding process, its regulation, impact. The discovery novel specific tool compounds would therefore not only be beneficial...
This paper examines the implications of Sarbanes-Oxley on stock option backdating. The focus this research analyses previous literature both pre- and post-Sarbanes-Oxley. As presents, before SOX was implemented, reporting lag for grant filings increased degree opportunistic behaviours subsequently increasing likelihood establishment Sarbanes-Oxley, promoting trust transparency between companies their respective stakeholders, sets forth additional regulations mitigating issue In order to...

What there left say about Hall, whose work so many writers are intimately familiar with, who was the Poet Laureate United States from 2006 2007, has written more than fifty books poetry and prose, including biography, memoir, children’s books? And yet, manages something very few...
