  • Assay development and HTS of PAPD5 inhibitors using an innovative mass spectrometry platform

    The Poly Adenosine Polymerase Associated domain 5 and 7 proteins regulate RNA stability by adding adenosine nucleotides to the 3’ end of various RNAs, including telomeric RNA, oncogenic microRNAs (miRNA) and viral RNA such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). Inhibitors of PAPD5 and PAPD7 offer promising therapeutic avenues to combat certain cancers, telomere-biology disorders, and…

  • From Prediction to Proof: Why AI/ML Drug Discovery Still Needs Experimental Data

    Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language models (collectively referred to here as “AI/ML”) are genuinely reshaping how scientists imagine, prioritize, and advance new therapies. The promise of AI/ML is ubiquitous. We constantly see headlines touting how AI/ML will compress years of drug discovery into months and reduce the costs of identifying new therapies. However,…

  • Assay development and high-throughput screen for Sortase A inhibitors using an innovative mass spectrometry platform to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria.

    Abstract: Bacterial virulence is a driving mechanism of infection and disease. In Methicillin-sensitive and -resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSSA/MRSA), Sortase A plays a crucial role in bacterial virulence, where its transpeptidase activity anchors specific proteins like Staphylococcal protein A (SpA) to the cell wall enabling colonization and infection as well as facilitating resistance to antibiotics. Sortase…
