New TARGETs for osteoporosis: from mesenchymal stem cells to the regulation of osteogenesis and BONE mass.

Acyl-CoAs are the major metabolic carriers of carbon in living organisms. The most conserved ways to their synthesis include the oxidative decarboxylation of α-ketoacids carried out by three distinct enzymatic machineries: the pyruvate dehydrogenase […]

Regulation of many key biological processes in bacteria involves the interplay between Sigma factors and anti-Sigma factors that typically attenuate Sigma factor function by restricting its access to RNA polymerase (RNAP). In contrast, our […]

CyaA, a 1706 residue-long protein, is one of the major virulence factors produced by B. pertussis and plays an important role in the early stages of respiratory tract colonization. This toxin uses an original […]

 Inosine-5′-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) is ubiquitously essential for the biosynthesis of guanosine nucleotides and catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of IMP to XMP. IMPDH is a major target in the design of both antitumor and immunosuppresive […]

Concerted effort to address rational drug design against Chagas disease Through a multidisciplinary approach that combine medicinal chemistry, structural bioinformatics, molecular docking and immunobiology of the infectious process, we identified two new inhibitors of […]
