Computational design of peptide ligands.

Abstract:

:Peptides possess several attractive features when compared to small molecule and protein therapeutics, such as high structural compatibility with target proteins, the ability to disrupt protein-protein interfaces, and small size. Efficient design of high-affinity peptide ligands via rational methods has been a major obstacle to the development of this potential drug class. However, structural insights into the architecture of protein-peptide interfaces have recently culminated in several computational approaches for the rational design of peptides that target proteins. These methods provide a valuable alternative to experimental high-resolution structures of target protein-peptide complexes, bringing closer the dream of in silico designed peptides for therapeutic applications.

  • Challenge of psychrophilic anaerobic wastewater treatment.

    abstract::Psychrophilic anaerobic treatment is an attractive option for wastewaters that are discharged at moderate to low temperature. The expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor has been shown to be a feasible system for anaerobic treatment of mainly soluble and pre-acidified wastewater at temperatures of 5--10 degrees C....
