SpeedScreen is a novel, label-free, in-solution, affinity-based selection methodology for high-throughput screening (HTS) developed at Novartis Pharma. The SpeedScreen protocol comprises in-solution affinity selection, followed by size exclusion chromatography in combination with microbore-liquid-chromatography/electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (micro-LC/ESI-MS). The authors describe the basic concept behind assay development, HTS, and data analysis with the SpeedScreen technology. Advantages and limitations of SpeedScreen compared to alternative screening technologies are discussed, and an example is given from a SpeedScreen campaign applying this innovative affinity selection concept in HTS.

This work involves the preparation of dual surrogate-imprinted polymers (D-MIPs) for the capture of SARS-CoV-2. To achieve this goal, an innovative and novel dual imprinting approach using carboxylated-polystyrene (PS-COOH) nanoparticles with a diameter of 100 nm and a SARS-CoV-2 Spike-derived peptide was carried out at the surface of amine-functionalized silica (PS-NH) microspheres with a diameter of 500 nm. Firstly, PS-COOH nanoparticles with the same size and spherical shape as the SARS-CoV-2 virus were employed to form hemispherical indentations (HI) at the surface of the PS-NH microspheres (obtaining dummy particle-imprinted polymers, HI-MIPs).

Motivation: Investigating novel drug-target interactions is crucial for expanding the chemical space of emerging therapeutic targets in human diseases. Herein, we explored the interactions of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B with selected terpenoids from African antidiabetic plants.
Results: Using molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, molecular mechanics with generalized Born and surface area solvation-free energy, and density functional theory analyses, the study revealed dipeptidyl peptidase-4 as a promising target.

Sensitive and rapid detection methods for rare earth elements (REEs), including lanthanides (Lns), will facilitate the mining and recovery of these elements. Here, we innovated a rapid, highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection method for Lns, based on Hans-Lanmodulin, a newly discovered protein with high selectivity and binding affinity for rare earth elements. By labelling the fluorescein moiety FITC onto Hans-Lanmodulin, named as FITC-Hans-LanM.

Background: Lung cancer is a highly aggressive tumor with limited therapeutic options. The misregulation of Androgen Receptor (AR) signaling has been observed in lung cancer. Therefore, inhibiting AR signaling is a promising strategy for treating lung cancer.
