I have had the honor of serving on the @HTRStoday 2025 Scientific Symposium planning committee over the last year. There is going to be a great program. We have a record number of abstracts submitted. Make plans now to attend in March 2025!!

Life is a melody, with enzymes as instruments and ligands as music directors. We show how two ligands binding to the same pocket of an enzyme can produce different melodies—the magic of allostery! Great job, Ponzar, Chinnaraj et al. @SLUbiochem, @HemeThrombBIDMC, and @UniPadova

Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) is an exciting new target for the treatment of thrombosis. This study uncovers the mechanistic basis by which two promising compounds, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside and bepristat-2a, regulate PDI. An important step toward the development of PDI-targeting drug. ✍️@LabPozzi jthjournal.org/article/S1538…
