Decreased Interfacial Dynamics Caused by the N501Y Mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 S1 Spike:ACE2 Complex by Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

“…In this regard, the recent SARS-CoV-2 alpha, beta, and gamma variants (B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and P.1 lineages, respectively) are of great significance in that they contain several mutations that increase their transmission rates as evident from clinical reports. …”

Age, Disease Severity and Ethnicity Influence Humoral Responses in a Multi-Ethnic COVID-19 Cohort by Muneerah Smith (12542939)

“…Here, we designed a quantitative, multi-epitope protein microarray comprising various nucleocapsid protein structural motifs, including two structural domains and three intrinsically disordered regions. …”

A slow but steady nanoLuc: R162A mutation results in a decreased, but stable, nanoLuc activity by Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

“…Here, we combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and mutational analysis to show that the R162A mutation results in a decreased but stable <u>bioluminescence </u>activity of NLuc in living cells and in vitro. …”

Applications of bioconvection for tiny particles due to two concentric cylinders when role of Lorentz force is significant by Lei Zhang (38117)

Kefir exhibits anti‑proliferative and pro‑apoptotic effects on colon adenocarcinoma cells with no significant effects on cell migration and invasion by Khoury, Nathalie

“…Results from RT‑PCR showed that kefir decreases the expression of transforming growth factor α (TGF‑α); and transforming growth factor‑β1 (TGF‑β1) in HT‑29 cells. …”

Daucus carota pentane-based fractions arrest the cell cycle and increase apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells by Shebaby, Wassim N.

“…The increase in apoptosis in response to treatment was also apparent in the increase in BAX and the decrease in Bcl-2 levels as well as the proteolytic cleavage of both caspase-3 and PARP as revealed by Western blot. …”

Evaluation of cell disruption methods for protein and coenzyme Q10 quantification in purple non-sulfur bacteria by Ojima Z. Wada (14155734)

“…<p dir="ltr">A recent focus has been on the recovery of single-cell protein and other nutritionally valuable bioproducts, such as Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) from purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) biomass following wastewater treatment. …”

Mechanisms of human recombinant arginase I (Co) - PEG5000 [Huarg I (Co) - PEG5000] - induced cytotoxicity on AML cells. (c2017) by Assaf, Nicole

“…A common mutation in cancer is amino acid auxotrophy, particularly arginine, which is needed for the production of many metabolites and also involved in immunoregulation and protein modification. We have previously shown that AML cells were auxotrophic for arginine and highly sensitive to arginine deprivation induced by a PEGylated human recombinant Arginase I cobalt [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000], hence demonstrating that arginine deprivation may constitute an attractive strategy for the selective targeting of AML cells. …”

Nanoparticle enrichment mass-spectrometry proteomics identifies protein-altering variants for precise pQTL mapping by Karsten Suhre (67967)

“…We identify 184 protein-altering variants in 137 genes that are significantly associated with their corresponding variant peptides, confirming target specificity of co-associated affinity binders, identifying putatively causal cis-encoded proteins and providing experimental evidence for their presence in blood, including proteins that may be inaccessible to affinity-based proteomics.…”

T‐cell responses and therapies against SARS‐CoV‐2 infection by Salman M. Toor (8854751)

“…Thus, better understanding of their roles in immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial. T cells primarily react to the spike protein on the coronavirus to initiate antiviral immunity; however, T-cell responses can be suboptimal, impaired or excessive in severe COVID-19 patients. …”

Dihydromyricetin and Salvianolic acid B inhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation and enhance chaperone-mediated autophagy by Jia-Zhen Wu (6844793)

“…Cells were co-transfected with a C-terminal modified α-synuclein (SynT) and synphilin-1, and then treated with DHM (10 μM) and Sal B (50 μM) 16 hours after transfection; levels of α-synuclein aggregation decreased significantly (68% for DHM and 75% for Sal B). …”

A multi-targeted approach to identify potential flavonoids against three targets in the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle by Sanjay Kumar (8853)

“…</p><p dir="ltr">In contrast, hesperidin formed a more significant number of hydrogen bonds with PLpro. These observations were complimented by the 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation and binding free energy analysis, which showed a considerable stability of docked bioflavonoids in the active site of SARS-CoV-2 target proteins. …”
