Interestingly, using the biochemical assays developed in this publication, we tested ZYS-1 (which I noted last week is not a genuine ADAR1 inhibitor) and confirmed it fails to inhibit ADAR1 even at concentrations as high as 1 mM.

Congrats again to Yang Gao and the entire team for their pioneering research! Stay tuned for more of our work on this exciting target.

Our results revealed that ZYS-1 does not inhibit ADAR1 activity at concentrations up to 1 mM, challenging previous conclusions based solely on binding data.

This underscores the need for target-specific assay validation in drug discovery. Join the conversation and read our full preprint for a detailed discussion. #ADAR1 #DrugDiscovery #RNAEditing #CancerResearch #AssayValidation

We just releasd our new docking tool: ProteniX-Dock ! Welcome everyone to try out~ GNU GPL3 so allows commercial use, and has a nice Python interface and CLI😁 Let's dive into it! 🧵

The NIH funds 4,400 active projects totaling $2.5 billion in Texas, much of it in Houston. These cuts violate the law, hurt people, and undermine the very system of scientific research & groundbreaking advancements that we are so proud happen in #TX07. houstonchronicle.com/politic…

Happy to share our latest work showing that an ancient ER-localized RNase IRE1 coordinates with p53 to silence taxane-induced dsRNA and protect immune-cold TNBC from pore-forming pyroptosis. ⁦@CellCellPress⁩ ⁦@MDAndersonNewscell.com/cell/abstract/S0092…
