Synthesis and application of peptidoglycan oligomers as metabolic labeling agents for bacteria by He, Jingxi

“…Using super-resolution STED confocal microscopy, PGO-rhodamine were found to be localized into the cell walls of all bacterial strains tested. Furthermore, the PGO-rhodamine was not taken up or incorporated into mammalian cells at all, thus confirming that PGOs can be a powerful tool for pan-bacteria-specific labeling and imaging. …”

Discovery of glucose-specific, peptide-based carbohydrate mimics using phage displayed random peptide libraries. by Yu, Limin.

“…As part of a larger project to establish general rules for peptide and peptidomimetic-based sugar mimicry, we have screened two phage display libraries (“C-X7-C” and “X12”) against a series of three glucose-binding plant lectins: Concanavalin A (Con A), Pisum Sativum Agglutinin (PSA), and Lens Culinaris Agglutinin (LCA), so as to discover ligands that bind ALL THREE lectins and therefore could act as true functional sugar mimics. …”

Structural studies of PfEMP1 bound to human cluster of differentiation 36 and of an unusual human antibody by Hsieh, F

“…<p>In <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected humans, parasites escape from splenic clearance and cause severe or chronic symptoms partly through the action of the variable surface antigens expressed on the surfaces of infected erythrocytes, called <em>P. falciparum</em> erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (<em>Pf</em>EMP1). …”

Narrowing the gap between machine learning scoring functions and free energy perturbation using augmented data by Valsson, Í, Warren, MT, Deane, CM, Magarkar, A, Morris, GM, Biggin, PC

“…Machine learning offers great promise for fast and accurate binding affinity predictions. However, current models lack robust evaluation and fail on tasks encountered in (hit-to-) lead optimisation, such as ranking the binding affinity of a congeneric series of ligands, thereby limiting their application in drug discovery. …”
