Structural Studies and Protein Engineering of Human O6-Alkylguanine-DNA Alkyltransferase

Birgit Mollwitz

The specific labeling of proteins with synthetic probes is a powerful approach to study protein function and protein tags have been widely used for this purpose. A well-established example for a self-labeling protein tag is SNAP-tag. It specifically reacts ...

A computational framework for the design of optimal protein synthesis

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Julien Racle

Despite the establishment of design principles to optimize codon choice for heterologous expression vector design, the relationship between codon sequence and final protein yield remains poorly understood. In this work, we present a computational framework ...

BlastR-fast and accurate database searches for non-coding RNAs

Philipp Bucher

We present and validate BlastR, a method for efficiently and accurately searching non-coding RNAs. Our approach relies on the comparison of di-nucleotides using BlosumR, a new log-odd substitution matrix. In order to use BlosumR for comparison, we recoded ...

Cyclization of Cyclopropyl Carbonyls and the Homo-Nazarov Reaction

Jérôme Waser, Filippo De Simone

Ring strain confers to the cyclopropane ring an exceptional reactivity. Nevertheless, activation of the cyclopropane ring is usually needed to allow ring-opening reactions under mild conditions. The introduction of one or several carbonyl functionalities o ...

Impact of phosphorylation of alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the degeneration of dopamineric neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta projecting to the striatum, and by the deposition of cytoplasmic protein inclusions. It is further defined by the persistent presence ...
