Protein tertiary structure mimetics are valuable tools to target large protein–protein interaction interfaces. Here, we demonstrate a strategy for designing dimeric helix-hairpin …
Abundant n→ π* interactions between adjacent backbone carbonyl groups, identified by statistical analysis of protein structures, are predicted to play an important role in dictating …
Sickle cell anemia disease has been a great challenge to the world in the present situation. It occurs only due to the polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) having Pro–Val–Glu …
Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SpA) is an IgG Fc-binding virulence factor that is widely used in antibody purification and as a scaffold to develop affinity molecules. A cyclized SpA …
Amino acid side chains are key to fine‐tuning the microenvironment polarity in proteins composed of polar amide bonds. Here, we report that substituting an oxygen atom of the …

Transcription factor NAM-B1 has a major role in the process of senescence, which results in higher Fe and Zn concentrations in grains of wild wheat (T. durum; Td). The absence of the …
Abstract The bacterial toxin CcdB (Controller of Cell death or division B) targets DNA Gyrase, an essential bacterial topoisomerase, which is also the molecular target for …
The unique physicochemical properties of a thioamide bond, which is an ideal isostere of an amide bond, have not been fully exploited because of the tedious synthesis of thionated …
