TiO2 quantum dot (QD) size nanoparticle colloids have shown tremendous photochromic response. Here we show that the of the photochromic response of TiO2 QDs can be further enhanced by doping. Our synthesis approach allows to reach high nominal doping level ...
Transcription factor binding to a single binding site on DNA and its functional consequence in a promoter context are beginning to be relatively well understood. However, binding to clusters of sites has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional ...
In allosteric proteins, binding a ligand can affect function at a distant location, for example, by changing the binding affinity of a substrate at the active site. The induced fit and population shift models, which differ by the assumed number of stable c ...
Gene delivery using vector or viral-based methods is often limited by technical and safety barriers. A promising alternative that circumvents these shortcomings is the direct delivery of proteins into cells. Here we introduce a non-viral, ligand-mediated p ...
In principle, a major goal in drug development is to design a high-affinity compound with an appropriate pharmacological response, which requires understanding of physical processes underlying the drug-target interaction, affinity and specificity. This dru ...

Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
The effect of single amino acid mutations on the rebinding dynamics of nitrogen monoxide (NO) to myoglobin is investigated using reactive molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, mutations of residues surrounding the heme-active site (Leu29, His64, V ...
Genetically-encoded fluorescent sensors for neuromodulators are increasingly used molecular tools in neuroscience. However, these protein-based biosensors are often limited by the sensitivity of the protein scaffold towards endogenous ligands. Here, we exp ...
The detection of molecules that can bind to active sites of protein targets and the measurement of their affinities is a promising application of NMR. Nowadays, the screening of drug candidates is routinely done by NMR in pharmaceutical industry. We have p ...
A room temperature ionic liquid (IL) composed of a quaternary alkylphosphonium (trihexyltetradecylphosphonium, P66614(+)) and tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) borate anion (TB) was employed within a water| P66614TB (w|P66614TB or w|IL) biphasic system to evalua ...
Stabilized metal nanoparticles (NPs) have received wide interest in a number of liquid-phase catalytic transformations, but the role of the capping/protective agent is still debated. Operando attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy enabl ...
