It is believed that proton conductance by the mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP1) is inhibited specifically by purine nucleotides, but we show that pyrimidine nucleotides also inhibit UCP1 with similar affinities in a pH-dependent manner. #mitochondria

Researchers have constructed self-assembled nanopeptides that penetrate cells and target intracellular bacterial infections, which are increasingly difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance.

Self-assembling peptide with dual function of cell penetration and antibacterial as a nano weapon to combat intracellular bacteria
A nanopeptide with “rapid reach” and “lethal strike” capabilities is identified as an executioner of intracellular bacteria.

De novo designed proteins neutralize lethal snake venom toxins - Nature
Deep learning methods have been used to design proteins that can neutralize the effects of three-finger toxins found in snake venom, which could lead to the development of safer and more accessible antivenom treatments.
