    Abstract: Provided are engineered polypeptides including CAP18 variants, and other engineered cathelicidin polypeptides based on BMAP28, BAC7, K9CATH and PMAP36. Also provided are methods for inhibiting growth of at least one methanogen in an animal. Further provided are methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane emissions, that use such compositions. The compositions and methods include one or more of the antimicrobial peptides including CAP 18 variants and other engineered cathelicidin polypeptides based on BMAP28, BAC7, K9CATH and PMAP36.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure concern identification of suitable inhibitors of components of RNA metabolism, including those involved with splicing, such as RNA helicases. The disclosure includes in vitro screens for small molecule inhibitors that are selective for a group of RNA helicases but that are counter-selective for another group of RNA helicases. In specific embodiments, the disclosure includes a system for inhibitor analysis that includes assay development and optimization that leads to feasible screening of the intended target(s) and continued counter-selection against undesirable targets throughout the process.

    Abstract: Compositions of anionic and cationic peptides which co-assemble under suitable conditions to form peptide nanostructures, methods of assembling the peptide nanostructures, and methods of use of the peptide nanostructures in hydrogels and as vaccines and vaccine adjuvants. The peptide nanostructures demonstrate stability once self-assembled and are biocompatible and have therapeutic functionality, particularly when equipped with additional functional features such as ligands, fluorophores, antigens, drugs, or other bioactive compounds.
