The Dibasics of M13 Phage Display: Examining the Substrate Specificity of Escherichia coli Outer Membrane Proteases
Bacteriophage M13 substrate libraries are a useful tool to discover novel protease substrates. In this study, we have mapped 7-mer protease substrates cleaved by native Escherichia coli proteases during phage outgrowth. Cleavage was moni...

Free Energy-Guided Q302P Mutation in GH1 β-Glucosidase from Aspergillus fumigatus Improves Enzyme Function via Catalytic Tunnel Perturbation.
Beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) is crucial to biorefinery industries because it is the bottleneck enzyme in the enzymatic conversion of cellobiose to glucose, a key component of the enzyme complex that converts lignocellulosic biomass int...

Engineering isoform-selective miniprotein binders to the fetal form of the insulin receptor
The fetal form of the insulin receptor (IRA) is predominantly expressed in many cancers, where IR signaling promotes progression of the disease. Alternatively, the adult IR isoform (IRB) is predominantly expressed in normal tissues. Prev...

SARS-CoV-2 Orf3a protein interaction mapping using unnatural amino acid incorporation
Mapping transient protein–protein interactions remain a major challenge in studying viral host–pathogen interfaces. While some virus-host interactions are stable and readily captured, the majority are highly dynamic, reflecting the need ...
