Scaffolding protein functional sites using deep learning

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Wayne Yang Wen Wei, Karla Montserrat Castro Gilabert

The binding and catalytic functions of proteins are generally mediated by a small number of functional residues held in place by the overall protein structure. Here, we describe deep learning approaches for scaffolding such functional sites without needing ...

Type 1 piliated uropathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response by binding to CD14

Kathrin Tomasek

A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability of the pathogen to evade the host's immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express type 1 pili, a pre-adapted virulence trait, to invade host epithelial cells and establish pe ...

Phase transition in an organic ferroelectric: glycinium phosphite, with and without X-ray radiation damage

Philip Pattison

Thermal evolution of an organic ferroelectric, namely, glycinium phosphite, was probed by multi-temperature single-crystal diffraction using synchrotron radiation and also by a similar experiment with a laboratory X-ray diffractometer. Both series of measu ...

High Li-ion conductivity in tetragonal LGPO: A comparative first-principles study against known LISICON and LGPS phases

Nicola Marzari, Leonid Kahle, Aris Marcolongo, Giuliana Materzanini

We highlight fast Li-ion diffusion in hypothetical tetragonal Li10GeP2O12 (LGPO), as a counterpart to the well-known phases of orthorhombic (LISICON) LGPO, thio-LISICON, and tetragonal Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS). We use extended Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics i ...

Photonic methods for rapid crystallization of LiMn2O4 cathodes for solid-state thin-film batteries

Patrik Willi Hoffmann

High temperature and prolonged thermal annealing for the crystallization of cathode in thin-film batteries (TFBs) restricts the choice of current collector and substrates and causes lithium loss in the cathode. This work explores photonic-based alternative ...

Assessing Cu2L2X4 dimeric moieties as ferromagnetic building blocks in double halide-bridged polymers (X = Cl-, Br- and L = benzamide). An experimental and computational study

Sergio Vela Llausi

Two isostructural double halide-bridged polymers, consisting of stacked Cu2L2X4 dimers, with L = benzamide (BA) and X = Cl- in CuClBA and X = Br- in CuBrBA, were synthesised. The experimental magnetic data of both compounds were recorded and it was found t ...

Selective inhibition of STAT3 signaling using monobodies targeting the coiled-coil and N-terminal domains

Oliver Hantschel, Florence Pojer, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Tim Kükenshöner, Grégory La Sala

The transcription factor STAT3 is frequently activated in human solid and hematological malignancies and remains a challenging therapeutic target with no approved drugs to date. Here, we develop synthetic antibody mimetics, termed monobodies, to interfere ...
