Investigation of Synthetic Proteins Produced via Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesis by Cowfer, Amanda Elizabeth

“…I will discuss the iterative steps my team took to vary both chemical and mechanical and control variables to improve per-coupling yield enough to enable access to full-length single-domain proteins. On this journey, we utilized test peptides to validate synthesis quality and later synthesized a suite of full-length single-domain biologically active proteins. …”

High-resolution HDX-MS reveals distinct mechanisms of RNA recognition and activation by RIG-I and MDA5 by Liu, Chuan-Fa, Zheng, Jie, Yong, Hui Yee, Panutdaporn, Nantika, Tang, Kai, Luo, Dahai

“…RIG-I and MDA5 are the major intracellular immune receptors that recognize viral RNA species and undergo a series of conformational transitions leading to the activation of the interferon-mediated antiviral response. However, to date, full-length RLRs have resisted crystallographic efforts and a molecular description of their activation pathways remains hypothetical. …”
