Selective PTP1B inhibition by A-1331852: Uncompetitive kinetics and computational evidence for C-terminal engagement.

Repurposing the clinical-stage Bcl-xL BH3 mimetic A-1331852 is identified as a potent PTP1B inhibitor demonstrating a selectivity margin of at least 50-fold over TCPTP, highlighting A-1331852 as a promising starting point for developing PTP1B inhibitors designed to exploit transient, substrate-induced binding states.

The serine-rich C-terminal tail of the Listeria monocytogenes secretion chaperone PrsA2 is critical for bacterial virulence and resistance to cell-wall active antibiotics.

This work characterizes the Lm PrsA2 C-tail, demonstrating its contribution to bacterial virulence, chaperone function, and secreted protein activity and highlights its crucial role against cell-wall targeting antibiotics.

Staged structural changes of fermented chicken breast myofibrillar protein: Conformational unfolding and aggregation.

Fermented chicken breast is promoted as a healthier alternative to traditional high-fat fermented meat products, yet its quality depends critically on the structural state of myofibrillar protein (MP). To clarify how MP deteriorates during extended natural fermentation, this study established a 150-day fermentation mod...

Serum Protein Panel Facilitates Surgical Decision-Making for Barcelona Stage B Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

This serum proteomic-based prognostic model accurately predicts surgical outcomes for BCLC stage B HCC patients and outperforms clinical stratification by identifying low-risk patients who may benefit from surgery and has the potential to improve survival and quality of life.

MutTMP Stab-pred: Predicting thermodynamic stability changes upon mutations in α-helical and β-barrel membrane proteins.

Two machine-learning models for predicting ΔΔG0 of TMHs and TMBs using sequence, structure, and energetic features are developed and found that disease-associated mutations were predicted to be destabilizing more frequently than benign mutations.

A bilayer nerve conduit integrating aligned guidance with an RGI peptide/retinoic acid-loaded hydrogel for peripheral nerve regeneration.

A spatiotemporally coordinated nerve conduit integrating an injectable thermosensitive poly(amino acid) hydrogel with an aligned-random bilayer poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) wall provides a potential strategy for peripheral nerve regeneration.

Gene-structured histology for deriving and predicting pancreatic cancer molecular subtypes

into basal-like and classical states is a critical prognostic determinant, yet clinical implementation remains limited by the cost and turnaround time of transcriptomic sequencing. 1 – 3 Although routine histopathology captures rich morphological features, deep learning models often lack a principled connection to gene...

Quantifying the Provenance-to-Function Gap in Antidiabetic Peptide Prediction: Homology-Aware Evaluation and the ADP-Hybrid Baseline

Auditing sixteen further peptide benchmarks shows the coupling is not confined to this resource: fragment families share a label more often than chance in eleven of fourteen testable datasets, and not in three, so the property is common rather than universal.

Icosahedral Symmetry and Quasi-Equivalence: The Triangulation Number Determines Viral Capsid Architecture — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: Viral capsid architecture is governed by icosahedral symmetry and quasi-equivalence theory, where the triangulation number T = h² + hk + k² (h,k ≥ 0 integers) determines the number of protein subunits (60T) and their arrangement on a spherical lattice. | MATH: T = h² + hk + k²; capsid protein count = 60T; allo...

Candidate regions under consistent selection in seed beetle (Acanthoscelides obtectus) lines experimentally evolved for early or late reproduction

Since 1986, replicate lines of the seed beetle Acanthoscelides obtectus have been kept under two experimental evolution regimes: Early (E; lines EI–EIV), where beetles reproduce only during the first two days of adult life, and Late (L; lines LV–LVIII), where egg laying is only possible after day 10. After over 200 gen...

Most predicted drug pockets in the apicomplexan dark proteome are artefacts of non-globular structure.

Structural genomics is used to find drug targets among the proteins a genome leaves unnamed: a protein with no sequence homologue but a confidently predicted fold looks both novel and tractable. I show that in Plasmodium falciparum this reasoning fails four times before it reaches a target list. Of 1017 confidently mod...
