Investigating the pernicious effects of heparan sulfate in serum amyloid A1 protein aggregation: a structural bioinformatics approach

G. Chandrasekhar et al.

Summary: Amyloid-A mediated (AA) amyloidosis is a pathogenic condition resulting from prolonged exposure to inflammatory conditions, causing aggregation of mutated/misfolded SAA1 protein in various tissues and organs. Recent studies suggest that genetic polymorphism G90D may cause enhanced association of SAA1 protein with heparan sulphate (HS), potentially exacerbating amyloidosis. This could lead to proteopathic incendiary behind AA amyloidosis and should be considered in future therapeutic development.

Could Dermaseptin Analogue be a Competitive Inhibitor for ACE2 Towards Binding with Viral Spike Protein Causing COVID19?: Computational Investigation

P. Chandra Sekar et al.

Summary: The study examined the competitive inhibitor activity of a broad spectrum antimicrobial peptide, Dermaseptin-S4 (S4) and its analogues, revealing that S4 (K-4) established more inter-molecular interactions compared to S4 (K4K20) and S1-ACE2. The normal mode analysis (NMA) showed that the S1-S4 (K-4) complex exhibited higher energy deformation profile and conformational transition, suggesting its potential as the best therapeutic scaffold to block SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Unravelling the molecular effect of ocellatin-1, F1, K1 and S1, the frog-skin antimicrobial peptides to enhance its therapeutics-quantum and molecular mechanical approaches

P. Chandra Sekar et al.

Summary: Ocellatin AMPs are considered as promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics, with ocellatin-1 peptide showing strong membrane permeability and potential therapeutic efficacy. Computational analyses indicated non-toxicity and membrane-permeable efficacy of ocellatin-1, making it a suitable scaffold for therapeutics. Trajectory analysis further revealed strong structural stability and important role in bacterial membrane penetration, highlighting the therapeutic potential of ocellatin-1 as an antimicrobial drug.
