Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of chikungunya virus by picolinate that targets viral capsid protein.

TL;DR: The binding of picolinic acid (PCA) to the conserved hydrophobic pocket of capsid protein was analyzed and may serve as the basis for the development of PCA based drugs against alphaviral diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetic characterization of trans-proteolytic activity of Chikungunya virus capsid protease and development of a FRET-based HTS assay.

TL;DR: The availability of active recombinant CVCP and cost effective fluorogenic peptide based in vitro FRET assay may serve as the basis for therapeutics development against CHIKV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-function insights into chikungunya virus capsid protein: Small molecules targeting capsid hydrophobic pocket.

TL;DR: Structuring of chikungunya virus capsid protease domain reveals a chymotrypsin-like protease fold with a conserved hydrophobic pocket in CHIKV capsid protein (CP) for interaction with the cytoplasmic tail of E2 (cdE2) similar to the capsidprotein of other alphaviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and characterization of bromodomain 2-specific inhibitors of BRDT.

TL;DR: In this paper, a collection of DNA-encoded chemical libraries for BRBD-BD1 and BRDT-BD2 binders was screened and high enrichment hits were identified and resynthesized off-DNA and examined for their ability to compete with JQ1 in BRDT and BRD4 bromodomain AlphaScreen assays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liquid condensation of reprogramming factor KLF4 with DNA provides a mechanism for chromatin organization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the reprogramming factor KLF4 undergoes biomolecular condensation even in the absence of its intrinsically disordered region, and propose a mechanism for selectively organizing and re-organizing the genome based on the local sequence and epigenetic state.
