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 ...
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 ...
Product isolation increasingly becomes a major bottleneck in molecular biotechnology. This is especially the case for the sensitive proteineous substances (recombinant proteins, antibodies) and lately also DNA, usually produced in low concentration. The cu ...
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 ...
Due to the spongistatins' fascinating and complex molecular architectures, and their important biological activities, these marine macrolides have been the subject of intensive efforts directed towards their total synthesis. As an attractive alternative to ...
Phage display is widely used for the selection of target-specific peptide sequences. Presentation of phage peptides on a multivalent platform can be used to (partially) restore the binding affinity. Here, we present a detailed analysis of the effects of va ...
The HIV-1 Rev protein is responsible for shuttling partially spliced and unspliced viral mRNA out of the nucleus. This is a crucial step in the HIV-1 lifecycle, thus making Rev an attractive target for the design of anti-HIV drugs. Despite its importance, ...
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 identification of all protein targets of a given drug or bioactive molecule within the human body is a prerequisite for an understanding of its beneficial and deleterious activities. Current approaches to reveal protein targets often fail to reveal phy ...
Two new modified hexacyclopeptides, aerucyclamides A and B, were isolated from the toxic freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806. The constitution was assigned by spectroscopic methods, and the configuration determined by chemical degrada ...
