Since the introduction of the of Micro Total Analysis Systems concept in 1990, important progress in microfluidic analytical systems has been realized. In many cases, microfluidic systems have shown improved analytical performances over classical methods, ...
Cysteine-dependent aspartic proteases (caspases) are a family of enzymes which play a crucial role in apoptosis. Caspases accumulate in eukaryotic cells in the form of low-activity proenzyme precursors. Proteolytic cleavage of specific sites triggers confo ...
This thesis reports on the integration of continuous-flow cell separation method for lab-on-a-chip applications. Cell separation methods are widely used in biology to prepare samples prior to analysis. There is a need for a highly sensitive separation meth ...
A microchip reactor has been developed on the basis of a layer-by-layer approach for fast and sensitive digestion of proteins. The resulting peptide analysis has been carried out by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization timeof- flight mass spectromet ...
A nanoreactor based on mesoporous silicates is described for efficient tryptic digestion of proteins within the mesochannels. Cyano-functionalized mesoporous silicate (CNS), with an average pore diameter of 18 nm, is a good support for trypsin, with rapid ...
Microfluidic devices are increasingly used to perform biological experiments on a single-cell basis. However, long-term stability of cell positions is still an issue. A novel biocompatible method for cell entrapment and release on a microchip is presented. ...
Cell membrane receptors and ion channels are essential in many different cellular processes. To analyse the activity of membrane proteins in vesicles and biological cells, we fabricated micro- nanostructured chips, enabling the application of electrophysio ...
The field of proteomics has emerged as a valuable analytical tool for elucidating cellular and biological systems at the molecular level. As there is an ever-growing demand for new highly automated, high-throughput, and sensitive analytical tools, a key ch ...
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 general method for the specific and covalent labeling of fusion proteins in vivo is described. The approach is based on the unusual mechanism of the human DNA repair protein O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyl-transferase, which irreversibly transfers an alkyl gro ...
