Systematic analysis of biomolecular binding reactions using microfluidic systems

Amir Shahein

Transcription factor binding to a single binding site on DNA and its functional consequence in a promoter context are beginning to be relatively well understood. However, binding to clusters of sites has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional ...

De novo developed small cyclic peptides that are orally available

Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides are ring-shaped molecules that emerged as a promising class of therapeutics. While it is often difficult to find small molecule binders for challenging disease targets, cyclic peptides can bind to featureless surfaces or inhibit protein-pro ...

Photochemical oxidation of phenols and anilines mediated by phenoxyl radicals in aqueous solution

Urs von Gunten, Stephanie Christa Remke

Reactive intermediates formed upon irradiation of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) contribute to the degradation of various organic contaminants in surface waters. Besides well-studied "short-lived" photo oxidants, such as triplet state CDOM (3 ...

Identification of a Heteroleptic Pd6L6L′6 Coordination Cage by Screening of a Virtual Combinatorial Library

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Rujin Li, Sylvain Alexandre Marie Sudan

The design of structurally defined heteroleptic coordination cages is a challenging task, and only few examples are known to date. Here we describe a selection approach that allowed the identification of a novel hexanuclear Pd cage containing two types of ...

NICEdrug.ch, a workflow for rational drug design and systems-level analysis of drug metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Noushin Hadadi, Jasmin Maria Hafner, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Homa Mohammadi Peyhani

The discovery of a drug requires over a decade of intensive research and financial investments – and still has a high risk of failure. To reduce this burden, we developed the NICEdrug.ch resource, which incorporates 250,000 bioactive molecules, and studied ...

Image- and Fluorescence-Based Test Shows Oxidant-Dependent Damages in Red Blood Cells and Enables Screening of Potential Protective Molecules

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Michel Prudent, Manon Sandra Bardyn

An increase of oxygen saturation within blood bags and metabolic dysregulation occur during storage of red blood cells (RBCs). It leads to the gradual exhaustion of RBC antioxidant protective system and, consequently, to a deleterious state of oxidative st ...

Intestinal stem cells differentiation and its application in cancer therapy

Maxim Norkin

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. Despite extensive research in the field, new therapies targeting CRC are in urgent need. CRC is a highly heterogeneous disease with high levels of intra- and inter-patient heterogeneity. Ca ...

Mechanical principles of engineering fibrous tissues with programmable shape

Erik Mailand

The form and structure of biological tissues define their function. The emergence of tissue morphology during development is one of the wonders of nature. Cells mechanically probe and manipulate their surroundings while constructing structures from the ext ...

DUBS: A Framework for Developing Directory of Useful Benchmarking Sets for Virtual Screening

Guillaume André Jean Fraux

Benchmarking is a crucial step in evaluating virtual screening methods for drug discovery. One major issue that arises among benchmarking data sets is a lack of a standardized format for representing the protein and ligand structures used to benchmark the ...

Macrocycle synthesis strategy based on step-wise “adding and reacting” three components enables screening of large combinatorial libraries

Christian Heinis, Gerardo Turcatti, Alessandro Angelini, Alessandro Zorzi, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Kaycie Marie Butler, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Sangram Shivdas Kale, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Carl Leonard Stenbratt

Macrocycles provide an attractive modality for drug development, but generating ligands for new targets is hampered by the limited availability of large macrocycle libraries. We have established a solution-phase macrocycle synthesis strategy in which three ...
