A Synthetic Route to Quaternary Pyridinium Salt-Functionalized Silsesquioxanes by Nataliya Kostenko, Jochen Gottfriedsen, Liane Hilfert, Frank T. Edelmann

“…The synthesis of a 4-(2-ethyl)pyridine POSS derivative (2) was achieved by capping of the silsesquioxane trisilanol Cy7Si7O9(OH)3 (1) via two different preparative routes. Attempts to use compound 2 as precursor for quaternary pyridinium salt-functionalized POSS derivatives were met with only partial success. …”

Tuning antibody stability and function by rational designs of framework mutations by Joseph C. F. Ng, Alicia Chenoweth, Maria Laura De Sciscio, Melanie Grandits, Anthony Cheung, Tooki Chu, Alexandra McCraw, Jitesh Chauhan, Yi Liu, Dongjun Guo, Semil Patel, Alice Kosmider, Daniela Iancu, Sophia N. Karagiannis, Franca Fraternali

“…We first showed that recent antibody-specific language models lacked insights in FW mutagenesis, in comparison to approaches that use antibody structure information. Using the widely used breast cancer therapeutic trastuzumab as a use case, we designed stabilizing mutants which were distal to the CDR and preserved the antibody’s functionality to engage its cognate antigen (HER2) and induce antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. …”
