Protein structure prediction has been largely solved, but why a given sequence is foldable has not. We address this question for 27-, 48- and 64-residue lattice heteropolymers with statistical thermodynamics, the informationtheoretic approach (ITA) and a variational autoencoder (VAE). Native populations, folding probab...
Folding and function depend on the same conformational ensemble, but they need not favor the same population distribution. We examine this relationship in a 27-residue lattice protein with 103,346 exactly enumerated compact conformations, combining statistical mechanics, information-theoretic analysis, and variational...
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) replication relies on the multifunctional nsP2 protein, making it an attractive target for antiviral drug discovery. Here, we report the resolution of oxaspiropiperidine 1, a first-in-class inhibitor of the CHIKV nsP2 RNA helicase (nsP2hel), into its constitutive enantiomers and characterizati...
