In a previous post, I discussed Caspases as pharmaceutical targets - how to screen

Epothilone B is a bioactive microtubule-stabilizing small molecule. This blood-brain barrier permeable coumpound belongs to the most popular potent cytoskeletal modeling molecules for in vitro

Originally identified as an active molecule against the Borrelia species, Borrelidin has since been described as a selective inhibitor of threonyl tRNA synthetase (ThrRS). More recent research

Methylation of DNA plays a crucial role in transcriptional regulation, imprinting,

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 2008 that 1.4 billion adults worldwide were overweight and of these 500 million were obese with risks for developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardio-vascular

Chronic pain of varying types including inflammatory pain, cancer pain and neuropathic pain is an increasing health problem for which there are inadequate therapeutic options.
Many new targets for

Nucleosomes are basis units of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells. A core particle (mono-nucleosome) consists of a segment of DNA called core DNA (147

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels (ASICs) are neuronal voltage-insensitive cationic channels which are activated by extracellular protons. They belong to the

Interferons (IFNs) are low molecular weight proteins that belong to the class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. IFNs are part of the non-specific immune system and are an important first line of defense

We have been closely following the interesting case of the discontinuation of tobacco acid pyrophosphatase (TAP) and the efforts of the world's RNA biologists to find a suitable alternative. Our previous

Ion channels are proteins with pore-forming abilities. Their selective capabilities to let ions cross the cell membrane involves them in crucial cellular functions (controlling membrance potential, the
