Multivalent Virucidal Antivirals: Synthesis, Mechanisms of Action, and Immune-stimulating Effects
Viruses initiate invasion by binding to cell surface glycoproteins. Materials mimicking the carbohydrate motifs of these glycoproteins, such as heparan sulfate (HS) and sialic acid (SA) can block viral attachment and inhibit the infection. Multivalent disp ...
EPFL2023Flowing Gas Experiments Reveal Mechanistic Details of Interfacial Reactions on a Molecular Level at Knudsen Flow Conditions
Christian Ludwig, Michel Rossi, Riccardo Iannarelli
Knudsen flow experiments and its interpretation in terms of adsorption/desorption kinetics as well as quantitative uptake on substrates of interest is presented together with the description of critical design parameters of the Knudsen Flow Reactor (KFR). ...
2022Post-translational regulation of neuronal differentiation
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are amphipathic lipid moieties that make up only 3% of the total lipid content of the cell and are almost exclusively expressed at the Plasma Membrane(PM). They are key drivers of signalling hotspots known as âlipid-raftsâ as ...
EPFL2021On the stability and necessary electrophoretic mobility of bare oil nanodroplets in water
Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Hilton Barbosa De Aguiar, Sergey Kulik
Hydrophobic oil droplets, particles, and air bubbles can be dispersed in water as kinetically stabilized dispersions. It has been established since the 19th century that such objects harbor a negative electrostatic potential roughly twice larger than the t ...
AMER INST PHYSICS2020Specific Ion Effects at the Interface of Nanometer-Sized Droplets in Water: Structure and Stability
Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Evangelia Zdrali
The interaction of ions with interfaces influences numerous processes in chemistry, physics, and biology, while different ion species behave differently at hydrophobic or hydrophilic interfaces. Despite its importance, ion specificity and its relation to s ...
