That simple ask pulled a young chemist out of the fume hood and into the messy, electrifying world of Chemical probes offered a solution. Chemical probes may be elegant, but biology isn’t. Tissue is messy. JB brought chemical intuition and a love for toolmaking. That chemistry — human chemistry — is what allowed the science to move as quickly as it did.

Pipeline Efficiency Begins With the Chemistry Itself Drug discovery pipelines often stall not because the target is wrong—but because the chemical matter  interacting with that target lacks the right properties In this lesson, you’ll gain: A strategic view of how chemical scaffolds shape pharmacologic outcomes And occasionally, new chemistry emerges from an unexpected source: Side effects. Informatics Expands the Search Space for Chemical Drug Matter Advances in chemoinformatics  introduced

September 2022 A2B Adenosine Receptor Enhances Chemoresistance of Glioblastoma Stem-Like Cells under The chemoresistance of GSCs is mediated in part by adenosine signaling and ABC transporters, which extrude Adenosine promotes MRP1-dependent chemoresistance under normoxia. However, adenosine/MRPs-dependent chemoresistance under hypoxia has not been studied until now. Hypoxia enhances MRP-dependent extrusion capacity and the chemoresistance of GSCs.

The immune system depends on chemokines to direct cell migration during immune surveillance and inflammation However, an imbalance in the chemokine system can also contribute to various diseases, such as inflammatory In all these situations, chemokines interact with seven-transmembrane chemokine-type G protein-coupled In humans there are approximately 45 chemokines, 19 chemotactic or G-protein coupled chemokine receptors (CKRs) that signal via Gαi and 4 official atypical chemokine receptors (ACKRs) which engage in ligand

The chemokine receptor system is implicated in a wide range of inflammatory, autoimmune and infectious Proudfoot 2002), and in recent years attention has increasingly focused on cancer, where tumors hijack the chemokine The involvement of chemokines and their receptors in several aspects of cancer biology, represents a Therefore, an alternative approach is to make use of chemokine receptors redundancy and the fact that In the chemokine-receptor system, different chemokines are able to activate different pathways, which

The chemokine system exhibits great versatility, with more than 50 chemokines interacting with over 20 receptor-chemokine complexes and revealing the diverse and multifaceted nature of the chemokine receptor Chemokine Binding Mode – from CRS1 to CRS3 Chemokines possess a conserved tertiary structure known as This structural variation may explain why chemokine receptors typically recognize chemokines from only with deep binding, CC/CXC chemokines with shallow binding near TM5, and CX3C chemokines with shallow

ligands, as “ligand-based approaches often bias molecule generation towards previously established chemical space, limiting their ability to identify truly novel chemotypes”(Thomas, Smith, O’Boyle, de Graaf & deep learning that takes advantage of large unlabelled data (e.g., millions of compounds and assays on CHEMBL Check the original article at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37161878/ #GPCR #DrGPCR #Ecosystem

Glycosylation and sulfation – N-terminal PTMs on chemokine receptors The interaction of chemokine receptors with their cognate chemokine ligands is generally described by the two-step/two-site model - the first interaction between the extracellular domains of the receptor and the structural core domain of the chemokine (CRS1); and the second step featured by the interaction between the N-terminus of the chemokine and Within the CRS1 ineraction mode, the N-terminal region of chemokine receptors is indispensable for chemokine

That mindset shaped his partnership with JB, the chemist who would eventually help his lab visualize Chemists don’t look at receptors the way physiologists do. It didn’t replace physiology with chemistry. Chemistry, imaging, physiology, and structure finally intersected. One pushes chemistry further. The other pushes physiology deeper.
