JUNE 5, 2023

Macrocyclic molecules, containing 12 or more atoms in a ring system, are increasingly prevalent in drug discovery, with over 67 macrocyclic drugs approved so far and several notable examples of clinical success highlighted on Drug Hunter recently, including MK-0616 , repotrectinib , and pacritinib. By imparting conformational restraint and reducing entropy of binding, macrocyclization can enable more potent and selective binding to targets, while simultaneously reducing rotatable bonds and hence

This article utilized template-based molecular docking of peptides and receptors to identify six highly valuable mutation sites. Subsequent amino acid multi-site mutations were conducted to establish a virtual polypeptide library. The library was screened using molecular dynamics simulation, resulting in the optimal design of an affinity peptide (encoded as P24).

Octopuses don't thermoregulate, so their powerful brains are exposed to -- and potentially threatened by -- changes in temperature. Researchers report that two-spot octopuses adapt to seasonal temperature shifts by producing different neural proteins under warm versus cool conditions. The octopuses achieve this by editing their RNA, the messenger molecule between DNA and proteins.
