“We need a people’s cryo-EM”

– Richard Henderson, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2017

Translational research is essential for moving findings from basic life sciences into practical applications. MolVerse increasingly emphasizes on reducing the reliance on animal models in drug development for diseases in humans. Novel in vitro systems, organ-on-a-chip technologies, and advanced AI models serve as alternatives but reducing animal use, and replacing them with more humane approaches in drug discovery is a need since decades. MolVerse accelerates drug discovery pipelines from years to months by providing complete atomic and molecular understanding, rapid compound screening, and precision discovery solutions. We enable better clinical and healthcare decision-making with accurate, efficient and unbiased approach leading to better therapeutic outcomes.

“When the world is in trouble, chemistry comes to the rescue!”

Type I restriction modification system (EcoR124I)

The first unbiased electron density map of the type I restriction modification system EcoR124I that enables bacteria fight the invading viral genome. The pentameric complex comprises two restriction endonuclease subunits, two methylation subunits and one specificity subunit.

EcoR124I Methyltransferase

The first unbiased electron density map of the Mtase trimeric complex of EcoR124I. This complex forms when two methylation subunits (shown as deep pink) bind to the specificity subunit (shown as turquoise). The HsdM subunit homes the catalytic site for DNA methylation as well as the binding site for the methyl donor and restriction cofactor S-AdoMet to perform its main function of DNA modification by transferring a methyl group from the donor AdoMet.

Active fully resolved HsdR of type I restriction-modification subunit

The HsdR subunit of the EcoR124I Type I restriction-modification system is crucial for the ATP-dependent translocation and subsequent cleavage of unmethylated foreign DNA, utilizing energy from ATP hydrolysis to translocate along the DNA and introduce double-strand breaks at distant sites. The HsdR subunit’s endonuclease activity is highly regulated through interactions with the HsdS and HsdM subunits, forming a functional holoenzyme that ensures only foreign DNA is targeted.
