Current drug discovery efforts focus on proteins because of their ability to form stable, structured pockets. A recent study demonstrates that targeting stable, structured bioactive RNA motifs, such as autocatalytic introns, may provide a novel method of expanding druggability and selectivity.In vivo chloride concentrations surge to proteotoxic levels during acid stress

Protonation of periplasmic protein carboxylic groups creates a Donnan equilibrium in the bacterial periplasmic space at low pH, leading to accumulation of Cl− and unfolding and aggregation of periplasmic proteins, which can be rescued by chaperones.Compartmentalizing acid stress in bacteria

A Donnan equilibrium causes an influx of chloride ions into the Escherichia coli periplasm when the bacterium finds itself in gastric fluid. The combination of low pH and high anion concentration drives proteins to aggregate, a potentially lethal event unless prevented by specific chaperones.[ASAP] Analysis of the Ub to Ub-CR Transition in Ubiquitin

High intracellular concentrations of the α-ketoglutarate analog N-oxalylglycine, owing to MCT2-mediated transport of its newly described prodrug MOG, inhibit multiple enzymes in glutamine metabolism and selectively kill MCT2-expressing cancer cells.
