A multiplexed immunoassay-based antibiotic sensing device integrated in a lab-on-a-chip format is described. The approach is multidisciplinary and involves the convergent development of a multi-antibiotic competitive immunoassay based on sensitive waveleng ...
TORC1 is a conserved multisubunit kinase complex that regulates many aspects of eukaryotic growth including the biosynthesis of ribosomes. The TOR protein kinase resident in TORC1 is responsive to environmental cues and is potently inhibited by the natural ...
The design, synthesis and antibiotic activities of the modified carboxylate binding pocket (D-O-E ring) of vancomycin (1) were summarized in this short account. The preliminary Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) studies indicated that both the structure ...
The first biomimetic total synthesis of the iron chelator anachelin H isolated from the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica is reported. A first generation approach delivered one enantiomeric series of the polyketide fragment. Comparison of the 1H NMR data ...
Pseudomonas entomophila is an entomopathogenic bacterium that is able to infect and kill Drosophila melanogaster upon ingestion. Its genome sequence suggests that it is a versatile soil bacterium closely related to Pseudomonas putida. The GacS/GacA two-com ...
RNA plays key roles in essential biological processes, such as protein synthesis, transcriptional regulation, splicing and retroviral replication. The structural diversity of RNA molecules and the lack of known RNA repair mechanisms make these biopolymers ...
We present a novel study on label-free recognition and distinction of drug resistant breast cancer cells (MCF-7 DOX) from their parental cells (MCF-7 WT) via impedimetric measurements. Drug resistant cells exhibited significant differences in their dielect ...

Exposure of a bacterial culture to an antibiotic or other lethal stress typically results in the generation of sub-populations of live cells ("persisters") and dead cells, and, in some cases, viable but non-culturable cells. Studies aimed at understanding ...

During the last two decades, marine organisms such as sponges, tunicates, softcoral and starfish proved to be productive sources of structurally complex metabolites presenting unprecedented architectures.[1] These marine natural products often display unex ...

Many pharmaceutical products find their way into receiving waters, giving rise to concerns regarding their environmental impact. A procedure was proposed that enables ranking of the hazard to aquatic species and human health due to such products. In the pr ...
