Spaceflight Induces Strength Decline in Caenorhabditis elegans (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Understanding and countering the well-established negative health consequences of spaceflight remains a primary challenge preventing safe deep space exploration. Targeted/personalized therapeutics are at the forefront of space medicine st... Read More about Spaceflight Induces Strength Decline in Caenorhabditis elegans.

An ALS-associated variant of the autophagy receptor SQSTM1/p62 reprograms binding selectivity toward the autophagy-related hATG8 proteins (2021)
Journal Article

Recognition of human autophagy-related 8 (hATG8) proteins by autophagy receptors represents a critical step within this cellular quality control system. Autophagy impairment is known to be a pathogenic mechanism in the motor neuron disorder amyotroph...

Site-Selective Installation of Nϵ-Modified Sidechains into Peptide and Protein Scaffolds via Visible-Light-Mediated Desulfurative C–C Bond Formation (2021)
Journal Article

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) enhance the repertoire of protein function and mediate or influence the activity of many cellular processes. The preparation of site-specifically and homogeneously modified proteins, to apply as tools to unders...

Molecular insights into an ancient form of Paget's disease of bone (2019)
Journal Article

We identify an ancient and atypical form of Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) in a collection of medieval skeletons exhibiting unusually extensive pathological changes, high disease prevalence, and low age-at-death estimations. Proteomic analysis of anci... Read More about Molecular insights into an ancient form of Paget's disease of bone.

Carbene footprinting accurately maps binding sites in protein–ligand and protein–protein interactions (2016)
Journal Article

Specific interactions between proteins and their binding partners are fundamental to life processes. The ability to detect protein complexes, and map their sites of binding, is crucial to understanding basic biology at the molecular level. Methods th...

Defective recognition of LC3B by mutant SQSTM1/p62 implicates impairment of autophagy as a pathogenic mechanism in ALS-FTLD (2016)
Journal Article

Growing evidence implicates impairment of autophagy as a candidate pathogenic mechanism in the spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders which includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (ALS-FTLD). SQSTM1, which encode... Read More about Defective recognition of LC3B by mutant SQSTM1/p62 implicates impairment of autophagy as a pathogenic mechanism in ALS-FTLD.

Ion mobility-mass spectrometry reveals conformational flexibility in the deubiquitinating enzyme USP5 (2015)
Journal Article

Many proteins exhibit conformation flexibility as part of their biological function, whether through the presence of a series of well-defined states or by the existence of intrinsic disorder. Ion mobility spectrometry, in combination with MS (IM–MS),... Read More about Ion mobility-mass spectrometry reveals conformational flexibility in the deubiquitinating enzyme USP5.
