The use of zeolites for catalytic reactions is a field in continuous development. Since it was demonstrated that metal-zeolites are efficient catalysts for NOx abatement, decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O) over Fe-containing zeolites has attracted great ...
The identification of all protein targets of a small molecule drug, i.e. target deconvolution, provides the basis for understanding its beneficial or deleterious actions. Target deconvolution remains a major and often problematic task within the biotechnol ...
Ribonuclease H (RNase H) belongs to the nucleotidyl-transferase superfamily and hydrolyzes the phosphodiester linkage on the RNA strand of a DNA/RNA hybrid duplex. Due to its activity in HIV reverse transcription, it represents a promising target for anti- ...
The insertion of peptide loops into the polypeptide chain of proteins at surface-exposed regions is an attractive avenue to modify the protein's properties or to evolve new functionalities. The strategy of peptide loop insertion has, for example, been used ...
Asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) has risen to prominence over the last decade as a straightforward synthetic methodology for the preparation of pharmacologically active compounds in enantiomerically pure form. However, the complex interplay of wea ...
This article reports the design, synthesis and results of first in vitro model studies of a conceptually novel class of polymer therapeutics in which the cargo is attached to a polymer backbone via a noncovalent, biologically inspired coiled coil linker, w ...
Nanoliter plates are versatile tools for the screening of split-and-mix libraries both on-bead and off-bead. The method was evaluated for the identification of hydrolytically active compounds and enzyme inhibitors. ...
Double trouble: A hybrid org.-inorg. (organometallic) inhibitor was designed to target glutathione transferases. The metal center is used to direct protein binding, while the org. moiety acts as the active-site inhibitor (see picture). The mechanism of inh ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major proinflammatory cytokine that has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious and oncogenic diseases. Accumulating evidence suggests that the tauto ...
Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a multifunctional protein and a major mediator of innate immunity. The paramount importance of MIF in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory, infectious, auto-immune and oncogenic diseases led to its emergence ...
