Complestatin was isolated in 1980 from the mycelium of Streptomyces lavendulae as inhibitor of alternative pathways to the complement cascade. An efficient synthesis of complestatin was developed. Intramol. Suzuki-Miyaura and SNAr reactions were employed f ...
Ten oxidosqualene c-yclase inhibitors with high efficacy as cholesterol-lowering agents and of different chemical structure classes were evaluated as potential anticancer agents against human cancer cells from various tissue origins and nontumoral human-br ...
Malaria is the most devastating parasitic infection killing each year between 1 and 3 million of people. Furthermore this decease has a huge socio-economic impact in affected countries. The emergence of resistance against currently used drug makes the deve ...
The protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) is a Zn2+-metalloenzyme that catalyzes the farnesylation reaction, i.e., the transfer of the 15-carbon atom farnesyl group from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to a specific cysteine of protein substrates. Oncogenic Ras p ...
The driving force for organo- or lithotrophic growth as well as for each step in the metabolic network is the Gibbs reaction energy. For each enzymic step it must be neg. Thermodn. contributes therefore to the in-silico description of living systems. It ma ...
A new study is presented on the electro-deoxidation of porous TiO2 precursors in molten calcium chlo- ride electrolytes. It is shown that by reducing precursor open porosity from standard values of ≥25% to ∼11–12%, such that there is insufficient free volu ...
Background: Experimental tissue fusion benefits from the selective heating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) under high frequency irradiation. However, the metabolic pathways of SPIONs for tissue fusion remain unknown. Hence, the goal ...
The direct conversion of sun light to elec. power in mol. photoelectrochem. systems, aka Gratzel solar cells, is one of the promising "solar technologies" for utilization of abundant solar light as alternative energy source. Considering advantages of Gratz ...
With the sequencing and annotation of the entire genomes of numerous microorganisms has come the advent of the genome scale metabolic models such as the iJR904 model of E. coli from Palsson and coworkers. Metabolic flux anal. (MFA) is widely employed to ge ...
