ACS Med Chem Lett . 2024 Feb; 15(2):250-257. PMID: 38352832
We have applied a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology to obtain a peptidomimetic molecule able to trigger the degradation of SARS-CoV-2 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL). The PROTAC molecule was designed by...

Protein Sci . 2023 Mar; 32(5):e4625. PMID: 36916754
[4Fe-4S] cluster assembly in human cytosol requires both a [2Fe-2S] cluster chaperone being able to donate two [2Fe-2S] clusters and an electron donor providing two electrons to reductively couple the...
