Water solubilized nanoparticles such as CdSe-ZnS core-shell nanocrystals (quantum dots, QDs) have great potential in bioimaging and sensing applications due to their excellent photophysical properties. However, the efficient modification of QDs with complex biomolecules represents a significant challenge. Here, we
The synthesis and biological evaluation of ten Michael acceptors containing potential proteasome inhibitors are described. Cellular targets of azide containing inhibitors and were assessed in HEK293T and RAW264.7 cells by a two step labeling strategy, followed by biotin-pulldown, affinity purification

Marine fish antimicrobial peptide, chrysophsin-1 possesses versatile biological activities but its non-selective nature restricts its therapeutic possibilities. Often small alterations in structural motifs result in significant changes in the properties of concerned proteins/peptides. We have identified GXXXXG motif in chrysophsin-1.
Highly tumor selective near-infrared (NIR) pH-activatable probe was developed by conjugating pH-sensitive cyanine dye to a cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (cRGD) peptide targeting α(v)β(3) integrin (ABIR), a protein that is highly overexpressed in endothelial cells during tumor angiogenesis. The NIR pH-sensitive
