Abrogation of ORF8-IRF3 binding interface with Carbon nanotube derivatives to rescue the host immune system against SARS-CoV-2 by using molecular screening and simulation approaches.
( BMC , 2024 , Article)The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has led to over six million deaths worldwide. In human immune system, the type 1 interferon (IFN) pathway plays a crucial role in fighting viral infections. However, ... -
Analysis of E2F1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms reveals deleterious non-synonymous substitutions that disrupt E2F1-RB protein interaction in cancer
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Cancer is a medical condition that is caused by the abnormal growth and division of cells, leading to the formation of tumors. The E2F1 and RB pathways are critical in regulating cell cycle, and their dysregulation can ... -
Elucidating the binding mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 NSP6-TBK1 and structure-based designing of phytocompounds inhibitors for instigating the host immune response
( Frontiers Media SA , 2023 , Article)SARS-CoV-2, also referred to as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, is the virus responsible for causing COVID-19, an infectious disease that emerged in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Among its crucial ... -
Molecular exploration of natural and synthetic compounds databases for promising hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) Prolyl-4- hydroxylase domain (PHD) inhibitors using molecular simulation and free energy calculations
( BioMed Central Ltd , 2024 , Article)Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that regulate erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis and red blood cell (RBC) production. Prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes are key regulators of HIF’s stability ... -
Molecular screening of phytocompounds targeting the interface between influenza A NS1 and TRIM25 to enhance host immune responses
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)BackgroundInfluenza A virus causes severe respiratory illnesses, especially in developing nations where most child deaths under 5 occur due to lower respiratory tract infections. The RIG-I protein acts as a sensor for viral ... -
Structural vaccinology, molecular simulation and immune simulation approaches to design multi-epitopes vaccine against John Cunningham virus
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)The JCV (John Cunningham Virus) is known to cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a condition that results in the formation of tumors. Symptoms of this condition such as sensory defects, cognitive dysfunction, ...
