Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a pandemic burdening the global economy. It is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Black cumin (Nigella sativa) seed may contain antivirals for the disease since it was reported to inhibit the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Main protease (Mpro) is a vital protein for viral replication and a promising target for COVID-19 drug development. Hence, in this study, we intended to uncover the potency of N. sativa seed as the natural source of inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. We collected secondary metabolites in N. sativa seed through a literature search and employed Lipinski’s rule of five as the initial filter. Subsequently, virtual screening campaigns using a molecular docking method were performed, with N3 inhibitor and leupeptin as reference ligands. The top hits were analyzed further using a molecular dynamics simulation approach. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that binding affinities of nigellamine A2 and A3 to Mpro are comparable to that of leupeptin, with median values of -43.9 and -36.2 kcal mol–1, respectively. Ultimately, this study provides scientific information regarding N. sativa seeds’ potency against COVID-19 and helps direct further wet experiments.

Abstract

Inaccurate diagnoses contributes to the high mortality rate of breast cancer. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in breast cancer tumors at around 20–30%. This study aims to develop an electrochemical biosensor for HER2 based on a gold nanoparticle-aptamer bioconjugate (AuNP@HER2 aptamer) and investigate the interaction between DNA aptamer and HER2 using computational methods. The bioconjugate was synthesized using maleimide and polyethylene glycol as a linker. The –NH2 group of cysteamine that modified the gold electrode can form a covalent bond with the bioconjugate maleimide. The interaction of the bioconjugated aptamer with HER2 was measured electrochemically based on the [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− redox system. The limit of detection, the linear range of HER2, precision, and accuracy in this study were 1.52 ng mL–1, 0.01 to 15.0 ng mL–1, 0.1298, and 94.06%, respectively. The structure of the DNA aptamer was modeled using mFold, Assemble2, and Chimera, with the interaction between the DNA aptamer and HER2 explored by NPDock. The modeling of the aptamer with HER2 showed that electrostatic interactions dominated the attractive forces. The resulting interaction pattern can be used as a template to improve the binding energy of the aptamer, thus providing insight into the development of aptamer-based biosensors.

Abstract

Currently, nanobody binding cortisol has been deposited in the database. Unfortunately, the affinity is still in micromolar order. Substituting hydrophobic residues in the binding pocket and utilizing CDR2 and CDR3 is the strategy to improve the affinity. A single and double substitution at positions 53 and 101 have been introduced to the nanobody structure through molecular modeling. The affinity toward cortisol was evaluated using molecular docking to get the binding pose. The highest binding energy pose was used as the initial coordinate to analyze further using 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations. The binding affinities calculated by MMGBSA showed that MT3, MT5, and MT6 have better binding affinity than WT. In contrast, the ligand movement through MD simulations reveals that MT1, MT3, and MT5 are relatively stable. Hence, docking and MD simulations showed that MT3 is the best mutant than others. This mutant is substituting the threonine to isoleucine at position 53. New hydrophobic interactions occurred and caused the increase of binding. Eventually, this study provides valuable structural information to improve the binding affinity of nanobody binding cortisol for further development of this molecule to antibody-based biosensor design.

Abstract

More than 6,000,000 people have died due to the coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic. This disease spread quickly due to its highly contagious nature. The SARS‐CoV‐2 virus that causes the disease can be transmitted through saliva droplets secreted by infected people at a distance of less than 1 m. As a result, saliva has been accepted as an alternative specimen for COVID‐19 detection by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Furthermore, WHO recommended the use of rapid antigen tests based on lateral flow immunoassay when reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) is not available. We developed a saliva‐based rapid antigen test by optimizing the antibody concentration and optimum pH for the conjugation of antibody and gold nanoparticles. We found that the best running buffer formulation consisted of 75 mM sodium phosphate buffer, 1% NaCl, 1% Triton X‐100, 0.5% N‐acetyl‐L‐cysteine, and 0.02% sodium azide. The addition of a mucolytic agent in the buffer can reduce the viscosity of saliva, thus improving sensitivity. The rapid test developed detected the lowest concentration of nucleocapsid protein at 0.1 μg/mL. Our study revealed 100% specificity against negative COVID‐19 saliva and no cross‐reaction with avian influenza virus hemagglutinin.

Abstract

The stability characteristics associated with the shelf life of a biosensor are rarely investigated, however, they are important factors for real applications. Stability is the variation in the detection signal over a long period of storage. This study aims to determine the effect of storage time on the stability of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) spike protein aptamers related to shelf life and the performance of an electrochemical aptasensor on clinical samples. The research method includes a stability study conducted using the accelerated stability method based on the Arrhenius equation at three variations of temperature and storage time. The electrochemical aptasensor's performance was evaluated on clinical samples of 32 nasopharyngeal swabs at biosafety level 3 and its potential on clinical saliva samples. The results indicated that the developed electrochemical aptasensor was stable for ± 15 days with a shelf life of 18, 17 and 16 days, respectively, at 25, 40 and 50 °C. This electrochemical aptasensor has the potential to be a Point of Care (POC) device for the clinical detection of SARS-CoV-2 because it can be tested on clinical samples of nasopharyngeal swabs and the results show its potential application to detect in clinical saliva samples.

Abstract

The symptoms of chikungunya disease are generally similar to the symptoms of other viral diseases, except that chikungunya disease can cause joint disorders and even paralysis. Incorrect initial diagnosis will result in inappropriate treatment of the disease Thus it is necessary to study the identified antibodies that can neutralize and protect the body from alphavirus infections, including chikungunya. There are several antibodies that can neutralize chikungunya including CHK152 which neutralizes virus by inhibiting fusion with stabilizing the surface area of the virus, hindering the exposure of the fusion-loop, likely neutralizing infection by blocking fusion. Otherwise CHK265 inhibits the life cycle of the virus in a way neutralize infection by blocking entry at a post-attachment pre-fusion step. The low energy of binding between antigen-antibodies will stabilize the interaction of both. Therefore, this aims to find the best affinity energy for antibodies to be used in the rapid diagnostic component of anti-chikungunya virus (CHIKV). The binding energies were calculated using FireDock an efficient method for the refinement and rescoring of rigid-body docking solutions, through rearrangement of the interface sidechains and adjustment of the relative orientation of the molecules.The results of this study  obtained energy scores from CKH152 and CHK265 are -125.78 and -29.94, indicate that CHK265 antibody affinity energy is higher than CHK152. It can be concluded that the best affinity energy for CHIKV diagnostic component is CHK152.Keywords: energy affinity; CHK152; CHK265; E1E2 CHIKV; molecular docking

Abstract

The association of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cataract with mtDNA mutation has been reported before. Despite the high prevalence of DM and cataract in Indonesia, a study of the mtDNA variants in Indonesia in correlation with the two diseases is still limited. MT.3243A>G is one of the hotspots mutations for mitochondrial diseases, but the explanation for its occurrence in patients with pure cataract is still elusive. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the mitochondrial genome variants from T2DM and cataract patients in Indonesia using the direct sequencing method. The homology analysis of the genome to the Cambridge reference sequence resulted in 86 variants, including 20 variants that cause amino acid substitutions. Based on the Mitomap data, 17 of the 20 variants were novel. Upon comparison with the 12 normal variant genomes, 11 of 17 variants were suggested to be associated with T2DM and cataract diseases since they code the protein in complex-I (ND4L, ND5, and ND6), complex-III (cytb), and complex-V (ATP6) of the respiratory complex. Interestingly, MT.3316G>A, for the first time, is shown in a pure cataract patient. In addition, the novel phenotype of MT.5460G>A and MT.10398A>G were revealed, which are T2DM and cataract in one patient. Based on our study, these diseases might be related to the disruption of the ATP metabolism due to the structure and function changes of proteins involved in the respiratory complex. This discovery is expected to offer an understanding of the origins of gene-level clinical differences, particularly in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sensitive detection of infectious diseases is crucial for effective clinical care. However, commercial rapid tests may be limited in their ability to detect pathogen variants across different countries. It was found that the sensitivity of a chikungunya rapid test on local strain was only 20.5% as compared to the East, Central, and South Africa (ECSA) phylogroup. Therefore, the development of geographically specific diagnostics is essential. Investigating the distinctive structural properties of a locally sourced antigenic protein is an important initiative for the development of a specific antibody. This study utilized structural bioinformatics and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the differences between the E1-E2 antigenic proteins of the Indonesian chikungunya virus (Ind-CHIKV) and that of ECSA. The results showed that some of the mutation points are located at the antibody binding sites of Ind-CHIKV. G194S and V318R mutations were proposed as distinctive features of Ind-CHIKV, leading to weaker antibody binding compared to ECSA. It suggests that modifying the antibody to accommodate bulkier side chains at positions 194 and 318 could improve its effectiveness against Ind-CHIKV. These insights are valuable for developing a highly sensitive immunoassay for Ind-CHIKV and other regional pathogens, ultimately enhancing diagnostic capabilities in Indonesia.
