1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Owing to their synthetic accessibility and protein-mimetic features, peptides represent an attractive biomolecular building block for the fabrication of artificial biomimetic materials with emergent properties and functions. Here, we expand the peptide building block design space through unveiling the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel, multivalent peptide macrocycles (96mers), termed coiled coil peptide tiles (CCPTs). CCPTs comprise multiple orthogonal coiled coil peptide domains that are separated by flexible linkers. The constraints, imposed by cyclization, confer CCPTs with the ability to direct programmable, multidirectional interactions between coiled coil-forming "edge" domains of CCPTs and their free peptide binding partners. These fully synthetic constructs are assembled using a convergent synthetic strategy via a combination of native chemical ligation and Sortase A-mediated cyclization. Circular dichroism (CD) studies reveal the increased helical stability associated with cyclization and subsequent coiled coil formation along the CCPT edges. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and fluorescence quenching assays provide a comprehensive biophysical characterization of various assembled CCPT complexes and confirm the orthogonal colocalization between coiled coil domains within CCPTs and their designed on-target free peptide partners. Lastly, we employ molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which provide molecular-level insights into experimental results, as a supporting method for understanding the structural dynamics of CCPTs and their complexes. MD analysis of the simulated CCPT architectures reveals the rigidification and expansion of CCPTs upon complexation, i.e., coiled coil formation with their designed binding partners, and provides insights for guiding the designs of future generations of CCPTs. The addition of CCPTs into the repertoire of coiled coil-based building blocks has the potential for expanding the coiled coil assembly landscape by unlocking new topologies having designable intermolecular interfaces.
