Molecular Mechanism of Flocculation Self-Recognition in Yeast and Its Role in Mating and Survival

Sandor Kasas, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy, Jens Nielsen

We studied the flocculation mechanism at the molecular level by determining the atomic structures of N-Flo1p and N-Lg-Flo1p in complex with their ligands. We show that they have similar ligand binding mechanisms but distinct carbohydrate specificities and ...

Metabolic Needs and Capabilities of Toxoplasma gondii through Combined Computational and Experimental Analysis

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Stepan Tymoshenko, Rebecca Oppenheim, Jens Nielsen, Dominique Soldati-Favre

Toxoplasma gondii is a human pathogen prevalent worldwide that poses a challenging and unmet need for novel treatment of toxoplasmosis. Using a semi-automated reconstruction algorithm, we reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic model, ToxoNet1. The reconstr ...

Kinetic models in industrial biotechnology - Improving cell factory performance

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jens Nielsen

An increasing number of industrial bioprocesses capitalize on living cells by using them as cell factories that convert sugars into chemicals. These processes range from the production of bulk chemicals in yeasts and bacteria to the synthesis of therapeuti ...
