Design and validation of bioorthogonal probes for cellular disease models

Pier Luca D'Alessandro

Well-validated chemical probes enable testing of biological hypotheses, investigation of target tractability and translatability to the clinical phase. Consequently, these important tool compounds play a key role in the drug discovery process. Moreover, th ...

Extrapolating the Fragment-Based Approach to Inorganic Drug Discovery

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

The fragment-based approach is a well-established strategy for organic drug discovery. Recent studies have shown that this approach also has considerable potential in medicinal inorganic chemistry, and yet the approach has not been formally described. Here ...

The virtuous cycle of human genetics and mouse models in drug discovery

Johan Auwerx

Ongoing studies in many species seek to understand the origins, architecture and consequences of phenotypic variation under normal and dysfunctional conditions, with the aim of identifying targets for intervention that can prevent, stabilize or reverse dis ...

Inhibitor-conjugated harmonic nanoparticles targeting fibroblast activation protein

Sandrine Gerber, Raphaël Jovita De Matos, Jérémy Vuilleumier

The recent progress in the engineering of nanosized inorganic materials presenting tailored physical properties and reactive surface for post-functionalization has opened promising avenues for the use of nanoparticles (NPs) in diagnosis and therapeutic int ...

Weighing up the Selenocysteome Uncovers New Sec-rets

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik

Challenging the paradigm of SECIS-dependent selenoprotein translation, in this issue of Cell Chemical Biology Guo et al. (2018) introduce a new selenoprotein profiling platform with which they identify novel selenoproteins apparently lacking SECIS. With in ...

SNAP-Tagged Nanobodies Enable Reversible Optical Control of a G Protein-Coupled Receptor via a Remotely Tethered Photoswitchable Ligand

Kai Johnsson, Johannes Broichhagen, Helen Rebecca Ostlund Farrants

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate the transduction of extracellular signals into complex intracellular responses. Despite their ubiquitous roles in physiological processes and as drug targets for a wide range of disorders, the precise mechanisms ...

Maturing Mycobacterium smegmatis peptidoglycan requires non-canonical crosslinks to maintain shape

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Haig Alexander Eskandarian

In most well-studied rod-shaped bacteria, peptidoglycan is primarily crosslinked by penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). However, in mycobacteria, crosslinks formed by L,D-transpeptidases (LDTs) are highly abundant. To elucidate the role of these unusual cr ...

Promoter mutagenesis for fine-tuning expression of essential genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Claudia Sala, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly

A range of regulated gene expression systems has been developed for mycobacteria in the last few years to facilitate the study of essential genes, validate novel drug targets and evaluate their vulnerability. Among these, the TetR/Pip-OFF repressible promo ...
