This study determines the crystal structure of Cfr, identifies key residues for methylation specificity, and links these to antibiotic resistance in pathogens.

This paper designs molecular glues that stabilize the 14-3-3/C-RAF autoinhibited complex, showing selectivity and functional effects in biophysical and cell assays.

This study validates the palmitoylation cycle as a therapeutic target in NRAS-mutant cancers by showing that inhibiting ABHD17 reduces tumor growth and synergizes with MEK inhibitors.

This study investigates molecular glues targeting the ER/14-3-3 PPI to overcome endocrine resistance in breast cancer, showing suppression of ER activity and cell proliferation.
