Expanding computational biochemistry towards complex and non-natural compounds
In the beginning was the metabolism. The biochemical processes that make life possible transformed the soup of chemicals into the life on Earth we know today. Since then, living organisms have evolved, and life on Earth has become more complex. Living orga ...
EPFL2023Early Neuroprotective Effects of Bovine Lactoferrin Associated with Hypothermia after Neonatal Brain Hypoxia-Ischemia in Rats
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) encephalopathy (HIE) in term newborns is a leading cause of mortality and chronic disability. Hypothermia (HT) is the only clinically available therapeutic intervention; however, its neuroprotective effects are limited. Lacto ...
Basel2023Structural Basis of Ligand Selectivity by a Bacterial Adhesin Lectin Involved in Multispecies Biofilm Formation
Carbohydrate recognition by lectins governs critical host-microbe interactions. MpPA14 (Marinomonas primoryensis PA14 domain) lectin is a domain of a 1.5-MDa adhesin responsible for a symbiotic bacterium-diatom interaction in Antarctica. Here, we show that ...
Washington2021Irreversible inactivation of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and its genes in water by photo-electro-oxidation and photo-electro-Fenton- Processes action modes
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a critical priority pathogen according to the World Health Organization's classification. Effluents of municipal wastewater treatment plants (EWWTP) may be a route for K. pneumoniae dissemination. Herein, the i ...
ELSEVIER2021Computational studies of industrial hosts for improved production of the 2nd generation of biofuels
In an effort of overcoming the limited availability of fossil energy resources and moving toward a sustainable economy, the focus of the research and development in the area of biofuels has shifted towards developing the 2nd generation of fuels that should ...
EPFL2019The melanization reaction in Drosophila: More than black or white
The melanization reaction is a rapid and important immune mechanism in arthropods. It results in the production of melanin at the site of injury and around invading microbes. The enzymes responsible for melanogenesis are phenoloxidases (PO), which catalyze ...
EPFL2018Structural and functional analysis of host attachment proteins from contractile injection systems
Bacteriophages of the myoviridae family, R-type pyocin, Photorhabus virulence cassette (PVC), Serratia antifeeding prophage (Afp) and type 6 secretion system (T6SS) form a class of contractile injection systems that share common structural and functional c ...
EPFL2018Clobetasol propionate causes immunosuppression in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at environmentally relevant concentrations
Kristin Schirmer, Anita Orsolya Hidasi
Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are potential endocrine disrupting compounds that have been detected in the aquatic environment around the world in the low ng/L (nanomolar) range. GCs are used as immunosuppressants in medicine. It is of high interest wheth ...
