The yeast C/D box snoRNA U14 adopts a "weak" K-turn like conformation recognized by the Snu13 core protein in solution

Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé

Non-coding RNAs associate with proteins to form ribonucleoproteins (RNPs), such as ribosome, box C/D snoRNPs, H/ACA snoRNPs, ribonuclease P, telomerase and spliceosome to ensure cell viability. The assembly of these RNA-protein complexes relies on the abil ...

Protein Bioconjugation to Carbon Nanotubes for Near-Infrared Sensing

Vitalijs Zubkovs

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are a promising material for electrochemical and optical biosensing applications. Their small dimensions, large surface area, indefinite photostability, and remarkable electronic properties make SWCNTs an ideal trans ...

Deciphering interaction fingerprints from protein molecular surfaces using geometric deep learning

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Michael Bronstein, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Freyr Sverrisson

Predicting interactions between proteins and other biomolecules solely based on structure remains a challenge in biology. A high-level representation of protein structure, the molecular surface, displays patterns of chemical and geometric features that fin ...

An Automatic, Data-Driven Definition of Atomic-Scale Structural Motifs

Piero Gasparotto

Structure-property relationships at the atomic scale are usually understood in terms of recurrent structural motifs formed by atoms and molecules, and how they transform and interact with each other. We introduce with this thesis a novel analysis approach, ...

Mid-Infrared plasmonic nanoantennas for ultrasensitive detection of proteins and their secondary structure

Dordaneh Etezadi

Engineered plasmonic nanostructures have emerged as powerful sensing platforms and are promoting novel applications in various fields. By providing extreme field confinement down to molecular dimensions and enhancing light-matter interaction at the nanosca ...

Constrained optimization applied to multiscale integrative modeling

Giorgio Elikem Tamo

Multiscale integrative modeling stands at the intersection between experimental and computational techniques to predict the atomistic structures of important macromolecules. In the integrative modeling process, the experimental information is often integra ...

A novel psychoanalytical approach: An electrochemical ligand-binding assay to screen antipsychotics

Sandro Carrara, Tugba Kilic

Schizophrenia treatment may see a paradigm shift due to development of new atypical antipsychotic drugs (APDs), with better tolerability due to more selective dopamine (DA) receptor blockade. Monitoring of these APD candidates in biological fluids is of gr ...

Quantifying the Limits of Detection of Surface-Enhanced Infrared Spectroscopy with Grating Order-Coupled Nanogap Antennas

Hatice Altug, Andreas Tittl, Aurélian Michel John-Herpin

Infrared spectroscopy is widely used for biomolecular studies, but struggles when investigating minute quantities of analytes due to the mismatch between vibrational cross sections and IR wavelengths. It is therefore beneficial to enhance absorption signal ...

Dynamic protein-chromatin interactions in heterochromatin and during the DNA damage response on the single molecule level

Andreas Linus Bachmann

Dynamic regulation of chromatin, a structure consisting of DNA and histone proteins, is mediated through histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and effector proteins. HP1a and PRC2 are recruited to repressive PTMs (H3K9me3, H3K27me3) and enable he ...
