This study identifies the Man-PTS as a receptor for Angicin in streptococci and defines structural features associated with its antimicrobial activity.

This study evaluates the antimicrobial peptide C14R against ESKAPE pathogens, showing potent bactericidal activity and biofilm inhibition.

This paper identifies Trypstatin, a Kunitz-type protease inhibitor that inhibits TMPRSS2 and related proteases, showing broad-spectrum antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and other respiratory viruses.

This study identifies Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) as a natural activator of latent HIV-1 through JAK/STAT5 and JNK pathways, offering a new strategy for reactivating viral reservoirs.

This paper optimizes a HIV-1 entry inhibitor peptide using ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations, reducing its size while maintaining or improving antiviral activity.
