Active site remodeling accompanies thioester bond formation in the SUMO E1
E1 enzymes activate ubiquitin (Ub) and ubiquitin-like (Ubl) proteins in two steps by carboxy-terminal adenylation and thioester bond formation to a conserved catalytic cysteine in the E1 Cys domain.… Expand

Stereoselective Synthesis of over Two Million Compounds Having Structural Features Both Reminiscent of Natural Products and Compatible with Miniaturized Cell-Based Assays
Understanding the cellular function of a protein usually requires a means to alter the function. This is commonly done by mutating the gene encoding the protein (genetic approach). It can also be… Expand

Expanding the range of 'druggable' targets with natural product-based libraries: an academic perspective.
Existing drugs address a relatively narrow range of biological targets. As a result, libraries of drug-like molecules have proven ineffective against a variety of challenging targets, such as… Expand

Mycobacterial phenolic glycolipid virulence factor biosynthesis: mechanism and small-molecule inhibition of polyketide chain initiation.
Phenolic glycolipids (PGLs) are polyketide-derived virulence factors produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. leprae, and other mycobacterial pathogens. We have combined bioinformatic, genetic,… Expand

A new approach of forecasting intermittent demand for spare parts inventories in the process industries
TLDR
We show that our method produces more accurate forecasts of lead time demands than exponential smoothing, Croston's method and Markov bootstrapping method. Expand
