In recent years, the chiral biological effects of nanomedicines have garnered significant interest. Research has focused on understanding how material chirality affects cellular transcription and metabolism. Stress granules, which are membraneless organelles formed through liquid-liquid phase separation of G3BP1 proteins and related compartments, have been extensively studied and are closely associated with cellular damage repair and metabolism.

Iron-doped nickel oxyhydroxides, Ni(Fe)OH, are among the most promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts in alkaline environments. Although iron (Fe) significantly enhances the catalytic activity, there is still no clear consensus on whether Fe directly participates in the reaction or merely acts as a promoter. To elucidate the Fe's role, we performed X-ray spectroscopy studies supported by DFT on Ni(Fe)OH electrocatalysts.

: Pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) has been one of the prime targets for discovering novel antileishmanial therapeutics in the fight against Leishmaniasis. This enzyme catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of pterins to their tetrahydro forms. While chemotherapy remains the primary treatment, its effectiveness is constrained by drug resistance, unfavorable side effects, and substantial associated costs.

Precise binding free-energy predictions for ligands targeting metalloproteins, especially zinc-containing histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes, require specialized computational approaches due to the unique interactions at metal-binding sites. This study evaluates a docking algorithm optimized for zinc coordination to determine whether it could accurately differentiate between protonated and deprotonated states of hydroxamic acid ligands, a key functional group in HDAC inhibitors (HDACi). By systematically analyzing both protonation states, we sought to identify which state produces docking poses and binding energy estimates most closely aligned with experimental values.
