Anti-coagulation treatments are required for medical conditions that become more and more frequent with the ageing of the population in developed countries (atrial fibrillation, deep-venous thrombosis, heart prosthetic valves, etc.). These treatments gener ...
The objective of this thesis was to characterize the growth stoichiometry, the specific recombinant protein productivity and the regulation of the alcohol oxidase (AOX) enzyme of a Pichia pastoris Mut+ strain, performing conventional chemostat cultures and ...
Corrinoids (derivatives of vitamin B12) are an essential cofactor of reductive dehalogenases, the key enzymes involved in the environmental-friendly process of organohalide respiration (OHR). However, genomic and physiological analyses of obligate OHR bact ...
Corrinoids (e.g. vitamin B12, cobalamin) represent a family of complex organometallic cofactors essential to the metabolism of microorganisms, animal and humans, and are involved in several enzymes such as isomerases, methyltransferases and reductive dehal ...
The aim of this thesis was to explore the statistical physics and the mechanical properties of individual biomolecules, to study their interactions, and to develop new techniques based on atomic force microscopy (AFM). First, we exploit the high resolution ...
Tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dehalogenases are the key catalysts in the respiratory chain of dehalorespiring microorganisms, where they act as the terminal electron-accepting enzymes in the process. On protein level, reductive dehalogenases have been ...
NOVELTY - A 2-butene-1,4-diol is prepared by hydrogenating 2-butyne-1,4-diol in the presence of a structured catalyst and in the absence of a solvent. USE - For preparing 2-butene-2,4-diol that is an important industrial intermediate in the preparation of ...
A review. The importance of conformational pre-organization in successful macrocyclization reactions was recognized ever since Eschenmoser's synthesis of vitamin B12 and Woodward's synthesis of erythromycin. Different approaches to productive preorganizati ...
Vitamin B-12-depende enzymes function in core biochemical pathways in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an obligate pathogen whose metabolism in vivo is poorly understood. Although M. tuberculosis can access vitamin B-12 in vitro, it is uncertain whether the org ...
An amperometric method was applied for real-time monitoring of intracellular redox enzyme activity. Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells were immobilized on platinum microband electrodes and mediated anodic currents were measured. The currents we ...
