Click chemistry is an immensely powerful technique for the synthesis of reliable and efficient covalent linkages. When undertaken in living cells, the concept is thereby coined bioorthogonal chemistry. Used in conjunction with the photo-cross-linking methodology, it serves as a sound strategy in the exploration of biological processes and beyond.

Peptide stapling has emerged as a versatile approach in drug discovery to reinforce secondary structure elements especially α-helices and improve properties of linear bioactive peptides. Inspired by the prevalence of arginine in protein-protein and protein-DNA interfaces, we investigated guanidinium-stapling as a means to constrain helical peptides. Guanidinium stapling was readily achieved on solid support, utilizing two orthogonally protected lysine or unatural α-amino acid residues with an amino function.

Tumour content plays a pivotal role in directing the bioinformatic analysis of molecular profiles such as copy number variation (CNV). In clinical application, tumour purity estimation (TPE) is achieved either through visual pathological review [conventional pathology (CP)] or the deconvolution of molecular data. While CP provides a direct measurement, it demonstrates modest reproducibility and lacks standardisation.

, major cause of bovine babesiosis with zoonotic potential, was analyzed through genomes Bdiv23B and Bdiv24B following Illumina sequencing of DNA extracted from PCR-positive cattle blood. The genomes comprised 3888 and 4032 predicted coding sequences, respectively, comparable to the reference genome, Rouen 1987, highlighting genomic consistency across isolates.

Long interspersed nuclear elements 1 (LINE-1) are the most abundant and the only autonomous mobile elements in the human genome. When their epigenetic repression is removed, it can lead to disease, such as autoimmune diseases and cancer. Coeliac disease (CeD) is an immune-mediated disease triggered by an abnormal T-cell response to dietary gluten and a predisposing condition of small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA), frequently characterized by epigenetic alterations.
