Lipids are major constituents of the cell. They are responsible for major properties of the cellular membranes: hydrophobicity, selective permeability and being the scaffold of signaling proteins. Many diseases are associated with alterations in the lipid ...
The identification of the targets of therapeutic drugs is one of the major challenges for pharmaceutical companies. The main target responsible for drug action is often known, but most drugs also bind other targets, either causing deleterious side effects ...
This work demonstrated that consolidated bioprocessing is a promising concept for conversion of lignocellulose to ethanol at industrial scale. CBP offers great cost saving potential, is feasible to be operated continuously and may be scaled up due to exten ...
Beer tapping is a well known prank where a bottle of beer is impacted from the top by a solid object, usually another bottle, leading to a sudden foam overflow. A description of the shock-driven bubble dynamics leading to foaming is presented based on an e ...
Lipids are major constituents of the cell, implicated with its functional and structural properties, along with a number of chronic diseases. Applying computational techniques with systematic modeling of lipids can provide insights about mechanisms that re ...
Online rating systems are a standard tool used to share, discuss and sometimes sell products. The study of how the users interact with others inside these communities is fundamental to the better understanding of our society. In most of the literature, onl ...
A new method was developed for the specific and covalent labeling of fusion proteins with small organic probes in vitro and in vivo. The method is based on the construction of fusion proteins of the human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT) with a ...
The identification of all protein targets of a small molecule drug, i.e. target deconvolution, provides the basis for understanding its beneficial or deleterious actions. Target deconvolution remains a major and often problematic task within the biotechnol ...
In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the onset of septum formation is signalled via the septation initiation network (SIN) involving several protein kinases and a GTPase. Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus proteins homologous to fission yea ...
The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the feasibility for the production of fuel bioethanol from whey permeate. The identification of the limiting factors of the process revealed that the stabilization of the substrate was critical to the use of whe ...
