Sub-picomolar Inhibition of HIV-1 Protease with a Boronic Acid.

TL;DR: It is found that replacing an aniline moiety in darunavir with a phenylboronic acid leads to 20-fold greater affinity for the protease, which highlights the utility of boronic acids as versatile functional groups in the design of small-molecule ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition of Divergent Viral Substrates by the SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease.

TL;DR: The main protease (Mpro) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an ideal target for pharmaceutical inhibition as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stereoelectronic Effects Impact Glycan Recognition

TL;DR: The finding that hItln-1 avoids binding prevalent glycans with a terminal 1,2 diol suggests the lectin has evolved to recognize distinct bacterial species, and a role for stereoelectronic effects in dictating the specificity of glycan recognition by proteins is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorogenic Assay for Inhibitors of HIV-1 Protease with Sub-picomolar Affinity.

TL;DR: A fluorogenic substrate for HIV-1 protease was designed and used as the basis for a hypersensitive assay, which is capable of measuring Ki values as low as 0.25 pM, and well-suited for characterizing the next generation of HIV- 1 protease inhibitors.
