Summary

w88 casino games login interests

The Bell research group specializes in medicinal w88 casino games login using tools including organic synthesis, molecular modeling, analytical w88 casino games login and molecular biology. Our recent and current projects include muscle myosin inhibitors, male contraceptives, and nascent protein degraders. The last project, which is our major research effort, began in the 1990s with our synthesis of CADA and discovery of its anti-HIV activity. It inhibits entry of HIV into human cells by decreasing expression of CD4, the cell-surface receptor required for infection. CADA targets the nascent CD4 protein chain during translation and diverts it for degradation. We recently found that different CADA analogs selectively degrade other proteins of medicinal interest, leading to our current studies on developing drugs for treating cancer, Graves’ disease, substance use disorder, preterm labor, malaria, and infections by viruses including SARS CoV-2, hepatitis B, dengue, and zika.
