High-resolution crystal structure of the therapeutic antibody pembrolizumab bound to the human PD-1

TL;DR: This high-resolution structure allows the accurate mapping of the interaction including water-mediated hydrogen bonds and provides, for the first time, a coherent explanation of PD-1 antagonism by pembrolizumab, and provides new insights into the rational design of improved anti-PD-1 therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI

TAK-242, a specific inhibitor of Toll-like receptor 4 signalling, prevents endotoxemia-induced skeletal muscle wasting in mice.

TL;DR: Results indicate that pharmacological inhibition of TLR4 signalling may be a novel therapeutic intervention for endotoxemia-induced muscle wasting and pretreatment with TAK-242 reduced or reversed all the detrimental effects of LPS in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the human angiotensin II type 2 receptor bound to an angiotensin II analog

TL;DR: The crystal structure of human AT2R binding an angiotensin II analog reveals ‘core’ and ‘extended’ domains within the binding pocket, and a signature positively charged motif orients the C terminus of the peptide ligand at the bottom of the bindingpocket.
