How Kinase Inhibitors Tune p38α Dephosphorylation
2026-09-21
This bioRxiv study identifies a dual-action mode in which selected kinase inhibitors both block p38α catalytic activity and increase its dephosphorylation by the phosphatase WIP1. Biochemical experiments and X-ray structures link this effect to an inhibitor-stabilized activation-loop conformation, offering a framework for designing kinase inhibitors that promote target-specific phosphatase action.

Why SOD Matters in NADPH-Linked Amplex Red Assays
2026-09-20
Mishina and colleagues show that NADPH or NADH can generate superoxide through interactions with horseradish peroxidase, producing peroxide-related background that compromises continuous Amplex Red measurements. Adding superoxide dismutase suppresses this interference without measurably reducing microsomal hydrogen peroxide formation, enabling more reliable rate measurements in NAD(P)H-supported enzyme assays.
