A Biallelic Truncating Variant in the TPR Domain of GEMIN5 Associated with Intellectual Disability and Cerebral Atrophy
GEMIN5 is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein required for the assembly of survival motor neurons. Several bi-allelic truncating and missense variants in this gene are reported to cause a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by cerebellar atrophy, i ...
2023Structure-Property Relationships in Complex Materials by Combining Supervised and Unsupervised Machine Learning
The work presented in this thesis combines supervised and unsupervised machine learning to examine structure-property relationships in databases of materials. While either supervised learning or unsupervised learning alone can be a powerful tool for assess ...
EPFL2021Atomic Motif Recognition in (Bio)Polymers: Benchmarks From the Protein Data Bank
Michele Ceriotti, Piero Gasparotto, Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Federico Giberti
Rationalizing the structure and structure–property relations for complex materials such as polymers or biomolecules relies heavily on the identification of local atomic motifs, e.g., hydrogen bonds and secondary structure patterns, that are seen as buildin ...
2019Donor-acceptor stacking arrangements in bulk and thin-film high-mobility conjugated polymers characterized using molecular modelling and MAS and surface-enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy
Conjugated polymers show promising properties as cheap, sustainable and solution-processable semiconductors. A key challenge in the development of these materials is to determine the polymer chain structure, conformation and packing in both the bulk polyme ...
2017Mapping the conformational free energy of aspartic acid in the gas phase and in aqueous solution
The conformational free energy landscape of aspartic acid, a proteogenic amino acid involved in a wide variety of biological functions, was investigated as an example of the complexity that multiple rotatable bonds produce even in relatively simple molecul ...
American Institute of Physics2017Gas-phase probes of kinetically trapped peptides
Gas-phase techniques are promising for studying intrinsically disordered peptides and proteins, as they can be implemented in a conformer-selective way. One of the issues that prevent them from finding a broader use is the question of to which extent the s ...
EPFL2016PDB-Explorer: a web-based interactive map of the protein data bank in shape space
Luc Patiny, Daniel Kostro, Michaël Giuseppe Zasso, Jean-Louis Reymond
Background: The RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB) provides public access to experimentally determined 3D-structures of biological macromolecules (proteins, peptides and nucleic acids). While various tools are available to explore the PDB, options to access the ...
Biomed Central Ltd2015Development of X-Ray Powder Diffraction Methods for Biomolecules
The comparable order of magnitude between interatomic distances in a crystal and the wavelength of X-rays make X-ray crystallography the ideal analytical tool to gain insight into the structure of crystalline material, including biomolecules. Nevertheless, ...
EPFL2011Cyclosporine A-Sensitive, Cyclophilin B-Dependent Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Degradation
Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi
Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIs) catalyze cis/trans isomerization of peptide bonds preceding proline residues. The involvement of PPI family members in protein refolding has been established in test tube experiments. Surprisingly, however, no da ...
Public Library of Science2010Dihedral Angles in Cu-1wt.%Pb: Grain Boundary Energy and Grain Boundary Triple Line Effects
Andreas Mortensen, Vincent Laporte, Laurent Felberbaum, Doris Empl
The dihedral angle shown by intergranular lead inclusions in Cu-1 wt.% Pb alloys is measured varying the purity of the metal and the temperature. Several measurement methods are used and compared, namely classical two-dimensional (2D) methods based on meta ...
