De novo design of peptide binders to conformationally diverse targets with contrastive language modeling.

Designing binders to target undruggable proteins presents a formidable challenge in drug discovery. In this work, we provide an algorithmic framework to design short, target-binding linear peptides, requiring only the amino acid sequence of the target protein. To do this, we propose a process to generate naturalistic peptide candidates through Gaussian perturbation of the peptidic latent space of the ESM-2 protein language model and subsequently screen these novel sequences for target-selective interaction activity via a contrastive language-image pretraining (CLIP)-based contrastive learning architecture.

Lung adenocarcinoma, recognized as one of the most formidable malignancies with a dismal prognosis and low survival rates, poses a significant challenge in its treatment. This article delineates the design and development of a carbon dot-vesicle conjugate (HACD-TMAV) for efficient cytotoxicity towards lung cancer cells by target selective delivery of the glutamine inhibitor 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) within CD44-enriched A549 cancer cells. HACD-TMAV is composed of hyaluronic acid-based carbon dots (HACDs) and trimesic acid-based vesicles (TMAV), which are bound electrostatic interactions.

Researchers use dynamic PET imaging with target-selective tracer molecules to probe molecular processes. Kinetic models have been developed to describe these processes. The models are typically fitted to the measured PET data with the assumption that the brain is in a steady-state condition for the duration of the scan.

Article Synopsis
- Identifying cryptic pockets in proteins can reveal hidden binding sites, offering new avenues for drug development, particularly in challenging targets such as KRAS, which was thought to be "undruggable."
- The discovery of the Switch-II cryptic pocket in the KRAS mutant has led to FDA-approved cancer treatments, highlighting the clinical relevance of these pockets.
- A novel approach using weighted ensemble molecular dynamics simulations was employed to explore these cryptic pockets in KRAS, analyzing over 400 microseconds of simulations and validating the method's ability to predict binding sites while examining the mechanics of ligand interactions.
Small Molecule-Induced Post-Translational Acetylation of Catalytic Lysine of Kinases in Mammalian Cells.

Reversible lysine acetylation is an important post-translational modification (PTM). This process in cells is typically carried out enzymatically by lysine acetyltransferases and deacetylases. The catalytic lysine in the human kinome is highly conserved and ligandable.
