Universally conserved isoasparylation sustains ribosome biogenesis and function

The paper identifies isoaspartate modification of ribosomal protein uS11 as essential for ribosome biogenesis and function across all domains of life.

Dual-stage inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum by a Skeletocutis derived fungal metabolite targeting Pyruvate Kinase II

This study identifies skeletocutin E as a dual-stage antimalarial compound that inhibits Plasmodium falciparum pyruvate kinase II, showing efficacy against both blood and liver stages of the parasite.

Vestibular modulation by stimulant derivatives in a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel

This study investigates how psychostimulant derivatives modulate the prokaryotic pentameric ligand-gated ion channel sTeLIC through a vestibular pocket, revealing a structure-function mechanism for allosteric potentiation.
