Hemagglutinin of Influenza A, but not of Influenza B and C viruses is acylated by ZDHHC2, 8, 15 and 20

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Mohamed Adbelalim Gadalla

Hemagglutinin (HA), a glycoprotein of Influenza A viruses and its proton channel M2 are site-specifically modified with fatty acids. Whereas two cysteines in the short cytoplasmic tail of HA contain only palmitate, stearate is exclusively attached to one c ...

Quantitative single-cell analysis of S. cerevisiae using a microfluidic live-cell imaging platform

Johannes Becker

Genome-wide manipulations and measurements have made huge progress over the last decades. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a well-studied eukaryotic model organism, homologous recombination allows for systematic deletion or alteration of a majority of its gene ...

Alpha-synuclein Post-translational Modifications as Potential Biomarkers for Parkinson Disease and Other Synucleinopathies

Hilal Lashuel, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Marc Moniatte, Adrian Schmid

The development of novel therapies against neurodegenerative disorders requires the ability to detect their early, presymptomatic manifestations in order to enable treatment before irreversible cellular damage occurs. Precocious signs indicative of neurode ...

Voltammetric Detection of Hg2+ Using Peptide-Functionalized Polymer Brushes

Harm-Anton Klok, Maarten Danial

Polymer brushes grafted by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) from the surface of Ir-based microelectrode arrays are explored as a platform for the fabrication of sensory coatings for the voltammetric detection of Hg2+. The po ...

A post-modification approach to peptide foldamers

Harm-Anton Klok, Nadja Franz, Laure Menin

Hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning is a powerful strategy to control folding in non-natural polymers/oligomers. In this contribution, we present a novel strategy for the preparation of alternating hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterned non-natural peptide folda ...

A Promising Technique to Increase Metal Concentration and Extraction in Sunflowers

Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova

Since most of the metal-hyperaccumulating wild plants only produce very low biomass and many high-yielding crops accumulate only moderate amounts of metals, the current research is mainly focused on overcoming these limitations and the optimization of meta ...

Catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes under biphasic conditions : understanding solvent effects

Corinne Daguenet

Ruthenium(II)-arene diphosphine complexes are shown to be effective precursors for the catalytic hydrogenation of the C=C bond in an aqueous biphase using molecular hydrogen as the hydrogen source. A mechanistic study performed in water, utilizing high gas ...
