DNA sequencing of the yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) genome reveals convergent genomic changes, biochemical pathways, mutations, and substrate-binding orientations responsible for caffeine biosynthesis when compared to coffee and tea plants.

The SARS-CoV-2 main protease specifically cleaves a conserved sequence in the human tRNA modifying enzyme TRMT1, resulting in reduced tRNA binding and the complete loss of TRMT1-mediated tRNA methyltransferase activity.

Single-molecule localization imaging shows that the Nipah virus fusion protein forms nanoscale clusters on cell and viral membranes that favor membrane fusion activation.

Pup-On-target for Small molecule Target Identification Technology, POST-IT, is a revolutionary tool for accurately identifying protein targets of bioactive molecules in living cells and organisms, successfully identifying SEPHS2 and VPS37C as targets for dasatinib and hydroxychloroquine, respectively.

The clinically approved BTK kinase active site inhibitors alter the conformational equilibrium of full-length BTK in distinct and unexpected ways.
