Open DOI
The ternary complex structure as a foundation for structure-guided molecular glue design
Molecular glues are opening up new therapeutic areas by turning previously undruggable and intractable proteins into tractable targets through the formation or stabilisation of a ternary complex between two proteins. The present review f...

Complementary fish models for brain ageing: insights from killifish and zebrafish
Ageing is the primary risk factor for neurodegenerative disease, yet experimental models often sacrifice natural age-related disease trajectories for genetically modified models. Teleost fish offer a useful complementary framework in thi...

Fitness criteria for PROTACs as chemical probes: principles and applications
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have emerged as a powerful class of chemical probes that degrade rather than inhibit target proteins, thus expanding the tools for studying protein function in cells. PROTACs trigger catalytic and...

Open DOI
Expanding the chemical biology toolbox: cyclic peptides emerging as versatile chemical probes
The present review provides a concise overview of cyclic peptides as chemical probes, including recent developments in their discovery and applications. Their ‘goldilocks’ physicochemical properties, selectivity, and affinity, as well as...

A special issue of Essays in Biochemistry on the social lives of bacteria
The study of bacterial sociality, understanding when and how bacteria interact and the consequences of those interactions, has rapidly grown in popularity over the last 20 years. This has revealed that bacteria engage in a remarkable var...
06
DOI 10.1042/ebc20250030
Open DOI
The use of Galleria mellonella to study microbial interactions, immune responses, and substrate interactions
Interbacterial interactions are diverse and complex and often dependent on the given niche these bacteria inhabit; therefore, it is often necessary to validate in vitro findings in vivo. Multiple mammalian in vivo models have been establ...

DOI 10.1042/ebc20250042
Open DOI
Social lives of bacteria as revealed through CLASI-FISH
The spatial organization of microbiomes illuminates their structure, function, and relationship to their host. Using fluorescence spectral imaging to discriminate up to 16 fluorophores and using combinations of probes to generate unique ...

Imaging nucleic acids in biofilms
Extracellular nucleic acids (eNA) are ubiquitous components of bacterial biofilms, contributing to structural integrity, antimicrobial resistance, and immune evasion. While traditionally viewed as extracellular DNA in the canonical B-for...

It takes a village: how plant-associated bacterial communities socialise to shape plant growth and health
Plants outsource many functions to an associated microbiome, an ‘outside gut’ composed of socially interacting bacterial communities that support plant growth and health. These dynamic and diverse microbiomes span different plant microen...

How the social lives of bacteria affect their pangenome
Although the study of microbes started with type strains and reference genomes, advances in sequencing technology and new interest in mixed microbial communities have made us aware that a single genome cannot and does not reflect the div...
