Schwarze M, Brakel A, Hoffmann R, Krizsan A
ChemMedChem . 2025 Feb; :e202400973. PMID: 39996354
New strategies are needed to prevent and control upcoming outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 infections, independent of vaccination. SARS-CoV-2 binds to the human ACE-2 receptor through the receptor binding domain (RBD) of...

Lauer S, Gasse J, Krizsan A, Reepmeyer M, Sprink T, Nikolay R, et al.
Nat Commun . 2025 Jan; 16(1):567. PMID: 39794318
The proline-rich antimicrobial designer peptide Api137 inhibits protein expression in bacteria by binding simultaneously to the ribosomal polypeptide exit tunnel and the release factor (RF), depleting the cellular RF pool...

Lauer S, Reepmeyer M, Berendes O, Klepacki D, Gasse J, Gabrielli S, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 May; 15(1):3945. PMID: 38730238
Proline-rich antimicrobial peptides (PrAMPs) inhibit bacterial protein biosynthesis by binding to the polypeptide exit tunnel (PET) near the peptidyl transferase center. Api137, an optimized derivative of honeybee PrAMP apidaecin, inhibits...

Rottmayer K, Schwarze M, Jassoy C, Hoffmann R, Loeffler-Wirth H, Lehmann C
Biology (Basel) . 2024 Apr; 13(4). PMID: 38666885
Serological assays for SARS-CoV-2 play a pivotal role in the definition of whether patients are infected, the understanding of viral epidemiology, the screening of convalescent sera for therapeutic and prophylactic...

Schwarze M, Volke D, Rojas Echeverri J, Schick R, Lakowa N, Grunewald T, et al.
Biology (Basel) . 2024 Apr; 13(4). PMID: 38666819
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) can infect human cells by first attaching to the ACE-2 receptor via its receptor-binding domain (RBD) in the spike protein. Here, we report...
