Correction for ‘Antiviral drug design based on the opening mechanism of spike glycoprotein in SARS-CoV-2’ by Ruichao Mao et al., Phys. Chem. Phys., 2021, DOI: 10.1039/d1cp01045j.

Natural language predicts viral escape Viral mutations that evade neutralizing antibodies, an occurrence known as escape, can occur and may impede the development of vaccines. To predict which lead to Hie et al. used a machine learning technique for natural processing with two components: grammar (or syntax) meaning semantics) (see Perspective by Kim Przytycka). Three different unsupervised mod...

The plasma membrane of Haloferax volcanii contains several glycoproteins, including a 98-kDa species. Using lectin-based chromatography, the glycoprotein was isolated and partially characterized. Sequence comparison, based on antibody binding as well as one-dimensional peptide maps show that the 98-kDa glycoprotein is distinct from the S-layer glycoprotein, the major glycoprotein in H. volcanii...

We report dynamic glycoprotein recognition of gels prepared by biomolecular imprinting using lectin and antibody molecules as ligands for tumor-specific marker glycoproteins. The glycoprotein-imprinted gels prepared with minute amounts of cross-linkers could dynamically recognize tumor-specific marker glycoproteins by lectin and antibody ligands and induce volume changes according to the glycop...

The P-glycoprotein is an energy-dependent efflux pump capable of decreasing the intracellular concentration of a broad range of chemotherapeutic agents. [99mTc]Sestamibi, a P-glycoprotein transport substrate, is a sensitive probe of P-glycoprotein function both in vitro and in vivo. A human tumor model in nude mice was evaluated to determine whether [99mTc]Sestamibi could detect in vivo differe...
