A review with several refs. The ultimate goal in protein de novo design is the creation of novel macromols. with tailor-made receptor, sensory, and catalytic functions. Despite considerable progress in understanding basic rules of secondary structure forma ...
Many proteins in alive organisms have a domain structure providing them the possibility to reversible unfolding, which seems to play an essential role in those processes occurring in tissues which are controlled by mechanical cellular tension. In this work ...
Intrachain loop formation allows unfolded polypeptide chains to search for favorable interactions during protein folding. We applied triplet-triplet energy transfer between a xanthone moiety and naphthylalanine to directly measure loop formation in various ...
A detailed characterization of the time scales and mechanisms by which RNA molecules change their folding structure upon binding of metabolites or during catalysis is important for the understanding of the different biological functions of RNA. The folding ...
A heterobimetallic complex, in which a RuCl2(acetone) (PPh3)(2) fragment is connected via three chloro bridges to a (eta(4)-C4Ph4CO)RhCl fragment, has been identified as a potent catalyst precursor for the Oppenauer-type oxidation of alcohols. With 0.1-0.5 ...
Protein folding stands as one of the major interdisciplinary challenges of the last ten years, involving biology, chemistry, medicine and physics. In this PhD thesis, we investigate the solvent effects and the resulting hydrophobic effect on proteins. In p ...
Alcohols, phenols and carboxylic acids are silylated with very good yields in the presence of silyl methallylsulfinates under non- basic conditions and with the formation of volatile co-products. ...
With the human genome and many other eukaryotic and procaryotic genomes sequenced, the interest in life sciences is shifting towards the examination of the function, modification and regulation of the encoded proteins. Proteins are involved in virtually al ...
Characterizing the movement, interactions, and chem. microenvironment of a protein inside the living cell is crucial to a detailed understanding of its function. Most strategies aimed at realizing this objective are based on genetically fusing the protein ...
We introduce a simplified protein model where the water degrees of freedom appear explicitly (although in an extremely simplified fashion). Using this model we are able to recover both the warm and the cold protein denaturation within a single framework, w ...
