Nutrient Metabolites Associated With Low D3Cr Muscle Mass, Strength, and Physical Performance in Older Men

Background: The relationship between amino acids, B vitamins, and their metabolites with D3-creatine (D3Cr) dilution muscle mass, a more direct measure of skeletal muscle mass, has not been investigated. We aimed to assess associations of plasma metabolite ...

Engineering of chitosan-based derivatives for non-viral gene delivery

Laura Camille Louise Nicolle

Gene therapy offers the possibility to treat or even cure diseases originating from genetic defects by introducing a therapeutic gene in target cells or correcting the initial defective gene. Amongst different options, non-viral vectors rely on the deliver ...

NICEdrug.ch, a workflow for rational drug design and systems-level analysis of drug metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Homa Mohammadi Peyhani, Noushin Hadadi, Anush Chiappino-Pepe

The discovery of a drug requires over a decade of intensive research and financial investments – and still has a high risk of failure. To reduce this burden, we developed the NICEdrug.ch resource, which incorporates 250,000 bioactive molecules, and studied ...

Elucidating the Role of Site-Specific Nitration of alpha-Synuclein in the Pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease via Protein Semisynthesis and Mutagenesis

Hilal Lashuel, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Anass Chiki, Ritwik Burai

Parkinsons disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of intraneuronal inclusions consisting of aggregated and post-translationally modified a-synuclein (a-syn). Despite advances in the chemic ...

Photophysics and Photochemistry of a DNA–Protein Cross-Linking Model: A Synergistic Approach Combining Experiments and Theory

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Sara Bonella, Mohammadhassan Valadan

The photophysical and photochemical properties of 5-benzyluracil and 5,6-benzyluracil, the latter produced by photocyclization of the former through irradiation with femtosecond UV laser pulses, are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The a ...

Assessing the cellular uptake pathway for poly-Lysine analogues using triplet lifetime imaging

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Theo Lasser, Harm-Anton Klok, Iwan Märki, Zuzana Kadlecova

Research on synthetic delivery vectors is of major interest for cell imaging and manipulation, as they allow an efficient transfer of nucleic acids, therapeutic proteins or small drugs into the cells. We have developed a library of L-lysine analogues that ...

The tautomeric persistence of electronically and sterically biased 2-quinolinones

One dozen of tailormade model 3-fluoro-2(1H)-quinolinones were synthesized, in order to be investigated by UV-, IR- and NMR spectroscopic techniques. All of these compounds were found to exist predominantly, if not exclusively, in the lactam (carboxamide, ...
