A de novo protein design strategy provides a powerful tool to elucidate how heavy metals interact with proteins.Cysteine derivatives of the TRI peptide family (Ac-G(LKALEEK)4G-NH2) have been shown to bind heavy metals in an unusual trigonal geometry. Our present objective

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Plaques composed of aggregated amyloid-beta protein (Aβ) accumulate between the neural cells in the brain and are associated with
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) terminates the signaling function of the endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). During 2-AG hydrolysis, MAGL liberates arachidonic acid, feeding the principal substrate for the neuroinflammatory prostaglandins. In cancer cells, MAGL redirects lipid stores toward protumorigenic signaling lipids. Thus MAGL
A novel series of piperidine-linked amino-triazine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for in vitro anti-HIV activity as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors on the basis of our previous work. Screening results indicated that most compounds showed excellent activity against wild-type
