Telomere protection against oxidative stress

Thu Trang Nguyen

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures at the ends of linear chromosomes, being essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Telomeres have a unique structure which distinguishes chromosome termini from DNA damage sites. Shelterin complexes are the ...

Equilibrium and Out-of-Equilibrium Adherence of Hydrogels against Polymer Brushes

Jennifer Mary Adrienne Alice Macron

At low pH, underwater adherence between poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) hydrogels and poly(acrylic acid) brushes is due to the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds. The effect of the key parameters controlling the formation of these interactions (contact time ...

Castles fall from inside: Evidence for dominant internal photo-catalytic mechanisms during treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

In this work, the antimicrobial effects of the photo-Fenton process on yeast cells were tested (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), an essential eukaryotic unicellular model of living cells. Near-neutral pH was used in all studies, while iron sulfate and iron citra ...

Proteins/peptides purification by a three-well OFFGEL electrophoresis with immobilized ultra narrow pH gradient gels

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Elena Tobolkina

Purification and desalting of protein and peptide samples by a three-well OFFGEL electrophoresis with immobilized ultra narrow pH gradient gels is proposed as a fast preparative strategy for proteomics. The gist of this strategy is to separate the proteins ...

Coupling Isoelectric Focusing Gel Electrophoresis to Mass Spectrometry by Electrostatic Spray Ionisation

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Elena Tobolkina

Gel electrophoresis has been used for decades as a high-resolution separation technique for proteins and protein isomers, but limited in the coupling with MS because of low throughput and poor automaticity compared with LC-MS. In this work, we have develop ...

Sedimentation of macroscopic rigid knots and its relation to gel electrophoretic mobility of DNA knots

Giovanni Dietler, Cédric Weber

We address the general question of the extent to which the hydrodynamic behaviour of microscopic freely fluctuating objects can be reproduced by macrosopic rigid objects. In particular, we compare the sedimentation speeds of knotted DNA molecules undergoin ...
