The Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) recruits complements and its cognate receptors, thereby promoting defensive mechanisms in the humoral immune system. These effector functions critically depend on N-glycosylation at the Fc region, which is therefore regarded as a crucial factor in the design and production of therapeutic antibodies. NMR spectroscopy plays a unique role in the characterization of conformational dynamics and intermolecular interactions of IgG-Fc in solutions. Here, we report NMR assignments of the glycosylated Fc fragment (Mr 53 kDa), cleaved from a chimeric antibody with human IgG1 constant regions, which was produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells with uniform (13)C- and (15)N-labeling.

Nanocomposite materials composed of an organic matrix and an inorganic nanofiller have been the subject of intense research in recent years. Indeed, the synergy between these two phases confers improved properties thanks to an increased surface-volume ratio, which reinforces the interactions between the particles and the polymer matrix. These interactions depend on many factors such as the shape, size and dispersion of the nanoobjects.

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a DNA-sensing enzyme that is a member of the nucleotidyltransferase (NTase) family and functions as a DNA sensor. The protein is comprised of a catalytic NTase core domain and an unstructured hypervariable N-terminal domain (NTD) that was reported to increase protein activity by providing an additional DNA-binding surface. We report nearly complete H, N, and C backbone chemical-shift assignments of mouse cGAS NTD (residues 5-146), obtained with a set of 3D and 4D solution NMR experiments.

J-domain proteins (JDPs) are essential cochaperones of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), as they bind and deliver misfolded polypeptides while also stimulating ATPase activity, thereby mediating the refolding process and assisting Hsp70 in maintaining cellular proteostasis. Despite their importance, detailed structural information about JDP‒Hsp70 complexes is still being explored due to various technical challenges. One major challenge is the lack of more detailed structural data on full-length JDPs.

Article Synopsis
- A Sn(IV) complex was synthesized using the ligands 2,2'-bipyridyl and indole-3-carboxylic acid, and thoroughly characterized with various analytical techniques such as elemental analysis, UV-vis, and NMR.
- Binding studies revealed that the Sn(IV) complex interacts strongly with the phosphate backbone of DNA and with the subdomain IIA of human serum albumin (HSA), indicating significant electrostatic interactions.
- The nature of the ligands attached to the Sn(IV) center influenced its binding properties, suggesting the complex has potential as an effective anticancer drug candidate.

It has been shown that human seminal fluid is a major factor in enhancing HIV activity. The SEM2(49-107) peptide is a product of cleavage after ejaculation by internal prostheses of the semenogelin 2 protein, expressed in seminal vesicles. It is established that the peptide SEM2(49-107) forms amyloid fibrils, which increase probability of contracting HIV infection.
