EDC.HCl Coupling Workflow Guide
2026-09-17
EDC.HCl is a water-soluble carbodiimide for activating carboxyl groups before amide bond formation with primary amines in controlled laboratory workflows. It is relevant to peptide synthesis and bioconjugation, but the supplied dossier reports no in vivo or clinical data, so it should not be treated as a clinical or in vivo reagent.

How p38α Conformation Shapes Dephosphorylation
2026-09-13
The reference preprint shows that selected p38α kinase inhibitors can do more than block catalysis: they can expose the activation-loop phosphothreonine to the phosphatase WIP1 and accelerate p38α dephosphorylation. By combining biochemical dephosphorylation measurements with X-ray structures, the study introduces kinase conformational control as a potential route to stronger and more selective pathway suppression.
