Allosteric Inhibitors of the Main Protease of SARS-CoV-2
In this report, the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro was expressed and purified. By using a FRET-based enzymatic assay, the researchers have screened a library consisting of more than 300 different niclosamide derivatives and identified three molecules JMX0286, JMX0301, and JMX0941 as potent allosteric inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro, with IC50 values like that...

Calcimycin as Antifungals
A new antifungal treatment is necessary, as pathogens evolve and develop immunity to current methods. Here, the inventors present calcimycin (CMN) as a novel treatment of cryptococcosis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans (Cne) and likely Cryptococcus gattii (Cga). CMN prevents the protein from continuing to splice. While the current treatment methods...

Genes and Polypeptides of Neisseria Musculi that can be used to Evaluate Vaccines and Anti-Bacterial Compounds against Infection by Pathogenic Neisseria Species
A set of Neisseria musculi (Nmus) genes have been identified which promote Nmus infection and persistence in its natural host, the mouse. These genes have never been described before, so the in-host function of their encoded proteins is unknown. These genes are present in the human pathogenic Neisseria, N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae. These genes...
