Bicyclic peptides binding to targets of interest can be isolated from combinatorial libraries using a phage display-based approach. In a first project of this thesis, we aimed at generating bicyclic peptide inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a ...
Monolayer-protected metal nanoparticles (MPMNs) are a newly discovered class of nanoparticles with an ordered, striped domain structure that can be readily manipulated by altering the ratio of the hydrophobic to hydrophilic ligands. This property makes the ...
The reactivity of stable tertiary enamides in nucleophilic addition reaction with various in-situ generated imines was explored. Under very mild conditions, formyl-bearing tertiary enamides reacted with both aromatic and aliphatic amines to form imine inte ...
Glycodendrimers, such as glycoclusters and glycopolymers, are known to be very useful molecules to probe carbohydrate-lectin interactions. Herein, new second generation glycopeptide dendrimers (G2a-f) presenting a L-lysin-based (Lys) tetraantennary scaffol ...
The authors use glucose-binding protein (GBP) to mech. actuate a fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT), resulting in reversible exciton quenching in response to glucose. The GBP is covalently conjugated with carboxylated poly(vinyl alc.)-wrapped ...
In this study, the residue-selective modification of proteins with polymers at arginine residues is reported. The difficulty in modifying arginine residues lies in the fact that they are less reactive than lysine residues. Consequently, typical chemo-selec ...
A nanomosaic network of metallic nanoparticles for the detection of ultralow concentrations of proteins is reported, which uses two planar microelectrodes embedded in a microchip that permit generation of capacitive coupling to the nanomosaic system withou ...
Because of the importance of helices in the secondary structure of proteins, we have undertaken a study of their spectroscopy, fragmentation patterns and conformations in the gas phase. In this work, we describe the effects of substitution at the N-terminu ...
Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD). However, exactly how tTG modulates the structural and functional properties of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) and contributes to the pathogenesis of PD remains un ...

The inhibitors of growth (ING) family of tumor suppressors consists of five homologous proteins involved in chromatin remodeling. They form part of different acetylation and deacetylation complexes and are thought to direct them to specific regions of the ...
