Dimethyl sulfoxide reduces the stability but enhances catalytic activity of the main SARS-CoV-2 protease 3CLpro
Ferreira, Juliana C.; Fadl, Samar; İlter, Metehan; Pekel, Hanife; Rezgui, Rachid; Şensoy, Özge; Rabeh, Wael M. (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021)Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), one of the most challenging global pandemics of the modern era. Potential treatment strategies against ... -
Experimental and computational investigation of clustering behavior of cyclodextrin-perfluorocarbon inclusion complexes as effective histotripsy agents
Kaymaz, Betül; Mustafa, Waleed; Hall, Sarah; Vlaisavljevich, Eli; Şensoy, Özge; Yüksel Durmaz, Yasemin (American Chemical Society, 2022)Recently developed nanocones (NCs), which are inclusion complexes that are made up of cyclodextrins (CDs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs), have shown promising results in nanoparticle-mediated histotripsy (NMH) applications ... -
Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 main protease: A repurposing study that targets the dimer interface of the protein
Pekel, Hanife; İlter, Metehan; Şensoy, Özge (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022)Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) was firstly reported in Wuhan, China, towards the end of 2019, and emerged as a pandemic. The spread and lethality rates of the COVID-19 have ignited studies that focus on the development ... -
Linker residues regulate the activity and stability of hexokinase 2, a promising anticancer target
Ferreira, Juliana C.; Khrbtli, Abdul Rahman; Shetler, Cameron L.; Mansoor, Samman; Ali, Liaqat; Şensoy, Özge; Rabeh, Wael M. (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Inc., 2021)Hexokinase (HK) catalyzes the first step in glucose metabolism, making it an exciting target for the inhibition of tumor initiation and progression due to their elevated glucose metabolism. The upregulation of hexokinase-2 ... -
Mechanistic insight into impact of phosphorylation on the enzymatic steps of farnesyltransferase
Pekel, Hanife; Güzel, Mustafa; Şensoy, Özge (Wiley, 2022)Farnesyltransferase (FTase) is a heterodimeric enzyme, which catalyzes covalent attachment of the farnesyl group to target proteins, thus coordinating their trafficking in the cell. FTase has been demonstrated to be highly ... -
Mechanistic insight into the impact of a bivalent ligand on the structure and dynamics of a GPCR oligomer
Mansoor, Samman; Kayık, Gülru; Durdağı, Serdar; Şensoy, Özge (Elsevier B.V., 2022)Development of effective bivalent ligands has become the focus of intensive research toward modulation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) oligomers, particularly in the field of GPCR pharmacology. Experimental studies ... -
Residues in the fructose-binding pocket are required for ketohexokinase-A activity
Ferreira, Juliana C.; Villanueva, Adrian J.; Fadl, Samar; Al Adem, Kenana; Cinviz, Zeynep Nur; Nedyalkova, Lyudmila; Cardoso, Thyago H.S.; Andrade, Mario Edson; Saksena, Nitin K.; Şensoy, Özge; Rabeh, Wael M. (2024)Excessive fructose consumption is a primary contributor to the global surges in obesity, cancer, and metabolic syndrome. Fructolysis is not robustly regulated and is initiated by ketohexokinase (KHK). In this study, we ...
