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 ...
A review. Directed evolution consists of repetitive cycles of random mutagenesis of the protein/peptide sequence followed by screening or selection of candidates with desired properties. Many different approaches are used to introduce mutations into a gene ...
The genetic encoding of polypeptides with biological display systems enables the facile generation and screening of very large combinatorial libraries of molecules. By post-translationally modifying the encoded polypeptides, chemically and structurally mor ...
The oral delivery of protein and peptide drugs is limited by their proteolytic degradation and the poor absorption across the intestinal epithelia. In this work, we exposed a phage library of small bicyclic peptides (
Molecules with tailored binding specificities are needed for many purposes such as the development of therapeutics, the detection and purification of biomolecules or in chemical biology for the study and manipulation of biological systems. With phage displ ...
In an effort to improve the understanding and prediction of Cd uptake by soil bacteria, adsorbed and intracellular Cd were determined in unpolluted and highly polluted model soil solutions within a concentration range spanning from 10-9 to 5 10-5 M of ca ...
Recently, a new method for the specific covalent labeling of fusion proteins in vitro and in living cells has been developed. This method is based on the unusual mechanism of a DNA repair protein: the O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (AGT). In addition ...
We present a new antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy strategy (ADEPT) based on a post-proline cleaving endopeptidase and prodrugs, in which cytotoxic moieties are linked to a proline-contg. peptide. Human prolyl endopeptidase was expressed in Escheric ...
A new technology for the specific and covalent labelling of fusion proteins with small organic molecules in vivo and in vitro has recently been developed in our laboratory. The method is based on the genetically encoded fusion of a target protein to O6-alk ...
The contamination of agricultural land and groundwater by heavy metals is essentially linked to human activities. A major problem with heavy metals is that they cannot be biodegraded and therefore reside in the environment for long periods of time if they ...
