New pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives were prepared from D-(-)- and L(+)-phenylglycinol and tested for their ability to inhibit 25 commercial glycosidases. The influence of the substitution of the lateral side chain and of the pyrrolidine ring on the enzyme ...
The preparation of oligoribonucleotides is of great interest for structural and functional investigations in biomolecular chemistry and biology. Relevant RNAs are relatively long and contain often modifications. Two methods for their preparation are curren ...
Dasatinib is a small-molecule kinase inhibitor used for the treatment of imatinib-resistant chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). We have analyzed the kinases targeted by dasatinib by using an unbiased chemical proteomics approach to detect binding proteins ...
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. One of the major contributors to virulence and intercellular spread of M. tuberculosis is the ESAT-6 secretion system 1 (ESX-1) that has been lost by ...
This thesis describes a method that allows the production in parallel of nano-reactor systems whose function is controlled by a remote stimulus. The reactors comprise a nested system of lipid vesicles part of which release their content during a thermotrop ...
A novel reactive perstraction system has been developed based on liq.-core capsules, involving an enzyme-catalyzed reaction coupled with simultaneous in situ product recovery. Lipase-catalyzed reactions, hydrolysis of triprionin and nitrophenyl laurate, we ...
The key pathogenic event in the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the aggregation of beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptides into toxic aggregates. Molecules that interfere with this process might act as therapeutic agents for the treatment of AD. The amino acid ...
A rapid transformation of eicosapentaenoic acid is initiated upon disintegration of cells of the marine diatom Stephanopyxis turris. In contrast to any other fatty acid cleaving activity known, this diatom releases a blend of chlorinated C8-hydrocarbons in ...
Enzymes possessing the capacity to oxidize molecular hydrogen have developed convergently three class of enzymes leading to: [FeFe]-, [NiFe]-, and [FeS]-cluster-free hydrogenases. They differ in the composition and the structure of the active site metal ce ...
A review. Studies on designed peptides that exhibit high tendencies for medium-induced conformational transitions have recently attracted much attention because structural changes are considered as mol. key processes in degenerative diseases. The exptl. ac ...
