Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

A low-cost electrochromic (EC) window based on a redox-flow system that does not require expensive transparent conductive oxide (TCO) substrates is introduced and demonstrated for the first time. An aqueous I-3/I redox electrolyte is used in place of a TCO ...

The Phosphatidyl-myo-Inositol Mannosyltransferase PimA Is Essential for Mycobacterium tuberculosis Growth In Vitro and In Vivo

Stewart Cole, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ming Zhang, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly, Naveen Kumar

The cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis contains glycans and lipids of peculiar structure that play prominent roles in the biology and pathogenesis of tuberculosis. Consequently, the chemical structure and biosynthesis of the cell wall have been in ...

New evidence for TiO2 uniform surfaces leading to complete bacterial reduction in the dark: Critical issues

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Danièle Laub, Sami Rtimi, Jelena Nesic

This study presents new evidence for the events leading to Escherichia coil reduction in the absence of light irradiation on TiO2-polyester (from now on TiO2-PES. By transmission electron microscopy (TEM) the diffusion of TiO2 NP's aggregates with the E. c ...

Deleterious effect of homogeneous and heterogeneous near-neutral photo-Fenton system on Escherichia coli. Comparison with photo-catalytic action of TiO2 during cell envelope disruption

César Pulgarin, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

The mechanisms underlying bacterial inactivation by solar photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH have not yet been investigated in detail. In particular, no consensus exists on the bacterial inactivation mechanism under solar light enhanced by the Fenton's reagen ...

DprE1-from the Discovery to the Promising Tuberculosis Drug Target

Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres

Several groups working in the field of the development of new antituberculosis drugs have recently reported active compounds targeting mycobacterial enzyme DprE1. Along with its counterpart, DprE2, it catalyses a unique epimerization reaction resulting in ...

RF-plasma pretreatment of surfaces leading to TiO2 coatings with improved optical absorption and OH-radical production

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Christophe Roussel, Sami Rtimi, Oualid Baghriche

Evidence is presented for the RF pretreatment of polyester enhances the TiO2 coating generation of oxidative species/radicals under a low level actinic light irradiation. After 30 min RF-plasma pretreatment of the polyester samples, the fastest bacterial i ...

Detection and Strain Typing of Ancient Mycobacterium leprae from a Medieval Leprosy Hospital

Stewart Cole, Pushpendra Singh

Nine burials excavated from the Magdalen Hill Archaeological Research Project (MHARP) in Winchester, UK, showing skeletal signs of lepromatous leprosy (LL) have been studied using a multidisciplinary approach including osteological, geochemical and biomole ...

Structural Basis for Benzothiazinone-Mediated Killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Paul Joseph Dyson, Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Florence Pojer, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Elizabeth Fullam

The benzothiazinone BTZ043 is a tuberculosis drug candidate with nanomolar whole-cell activity. BTZ043 targets the DprE1 catalytic component of the essential enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose-2'-epimerase, thus blocking biosynthesis of arabin ...

In Vitro Combination Studies of Benzothiazinone Lead Compound BTZ043 against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Ruben Hartkoorn, Benoit Lechartier

Benzothiazinones (BTZ) are a new class of drug candidates to combat tuberculosis that inhibit decaprenyl-phosphoribose epimerase (DprE1), an essential enzyme involved in arabinan biosynthesis. Using the checkerboard method and cell viability assays, we hav ...
