Abstract

Neuraminidase (NA) is one of the two major surface antigens of influenza virus. It plays an indispensable role in the release and spread of progeny virus particles during infection. NA inhibitors reduce virus infection in animals. To improve the clinical efficacy of NA inhibitors, we have begun the design of non-carbohydrate inhibitors based on the active site structure of NA. The approach is an iterative process of ligand modeling and electrostatic calculations followed by chemical synthesis of compounds, biological testing, and NA-inhibitor complex structure determination by X-ray crystallography. A strategy has been developed to calculate Ki for newly designed inhibitors. The calculations using the DelPhi program were performed for carbohydrate inhibitors and three preliminary benzoic acid inhibitors of neuraminidase (BANA) that have been synthesized and shown to bind to the active site of NA in the crystal structure. The calculated Kis of these inhibitors have an enlightening agreement with their in vitro biological activities. This demonstrates that the calculations produce informative results on the affinity of modeled inhibitors. GRID maps were also calculated and several pockets were identified for accepting possible ne...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
