This was a true team effort. IRIC chemists generated complex macrocycles with the goal of targeting KRAS and my former postdocs Ryan Killoran and Changhwa Jo offered insights to how the macrocycles were targeting RAS using NMR and crystallography. This work continues!

Targeting the H/KRAS α4-β6-α5 Allosteric Lobe with Macrocyclic Peptides
Despite therapeutic advances against RAS mutations in cancer, acquired resistance frequently arises. Several secondary mutations at the binding sites effectively confer resistance to both Switch-II in...

Scientists at Canadian institutions have long punched well above our weight despite low and stagnant funding. Spending a billion dollars on external recruitment while science here is starving is exactly what Harper got wrong about supporting research excellence in Canada.

Development of a Genetically Encoded and Potent PDE6D Inhibitor
PDE6D is a trafficking chaperone of prenylated proteins. Current small molecule PDE6D inhibitors target its hydrophobic pocket, rendering them typically poorly water soluble. Herein, PDE6D binders ar...

I want to highlight this review from Laura Quirion (
@jf-cotelab.bsky.social
) and Regina Strakhova (my lab) on ARF GTPases. Great read on the atypical nature of ARF/ARL small GTPase signalling, and they make it clear there is still much we don't know!

Cool review on a relatively understudied posttranslational modification: oxidation. Our colleagues in the Labbé lab at IRIC have been working to figure out the function of OSGIN proteins in cytokinesis - and its nicely summarized here!
