Ephemeral Pores

Ephemeral Pores

Pastor Lab

In a PNAS study, researchers from the Pastor group at the National Institutes of Health, NIH, and the Cotten group at Oregon State University present …

Copper Clicks

Copper Clicks

Metanis Lab

In a collaborative work between the Metanis and Shimon labs at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the Wang group at the Xiamen University in …

Mitochondrial Click

Mitochondrial Click

Wennemers Lab

In work published in ACS Chemical Biology, Adeline Schmitt, under the guidance of Helma Wennemers at ETH Zürich, investigated rigid polyproline II, PPII, helical …

Covalent Peptide Libraries

Covalent Peptide Libraries

Bode Lab

Covalent inhibitors provide potent and durable target engagement, with approved drugs such as ibrutinib and osimertinib validating the approach. These compounds exploit electrophilic warheads to …

Lanthipeptide Modeling

Lanthipeptide Modeling

Walker Lab

Lanthipeptides, the thioether-crosslinked members of the RiPP family, are compelling antibiotic scaffolds. Yet, they have remained largely outside the reach of structure-based design. Standard modeling …

Photoregulated Catalysis

Photoregulated Catalysis

Bandyopadhyay Lab

Precise external regulation of enzymatic activity remains a central goal in chemical biology, with wide-ranging implications for biotechnology, diagnostics, and medicine. Natural proteases govern countless …

Peptide Aggregation Blockers

Peptide Aggregation Blockers

Wright Lab

The misfolding and aggregation of transthyretin, TTR, a serum protein responsible for transporting thyroxine and retinol binding protein, underlies a class of amyloid diseases that …

Engineered Lasso Peptides

Engineered Lasso Peptides

Burk Lab

A major barrier to durable responses with PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors is the activation of immunosuppressive TGF-β within the tumor microenvironment. This immunosuppression is driven in …

Spike Peptide Amyloids

Spike Peptide Amyloids

Legleiter Lab

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein fragments are known to form amyloid fibrils, but far less is understood about the prefibrillar states that emerge along the way, or …

HDAC-Mediated Lactylation

HDAC-Mediated Lactylation

Goldberg Lab

Lysine lactylation, Kla, has emerged as a post-translational modification, PTM, directly linking glycolytic metabolism to protein regulation. While earlier models invoked lactyl-CoA–dependent transfer or non-enzymatic …

Targeted Conjugates

Targeted Conjugates

Zeglis Lab

For two decades, immunoconjugates have been a mainstay of targeted oncology, from antibody–drug conjugates to radioimmunotherapy probes. The clinical challenge has never been the underlying …

Ultrafast Peptide Cyclization

Ultrafast Peptide Cyclization

Sun Lab

Cyclic peptides occupy a privileged niche in chemical biology. Their constrained conformations reduce entropic penalties upon binding, impart proteolytic stability, and frequently enable access to …
