Synthetic methodologies for C-C and C-N bond formation involving alkyl radicals

C-C and C-N bonds are some of the most common structures in molecules ranging from drugs to catalysts and to food additives. Many coupling reactions were developed to form these types of bonds with excellent selectivity and good performance. Still, the syn ...

Oxygen evolution reaction: Bifunctional mechanism breaking the linear scaling relationship

Alfredo Pasquarello, Patrick Gono

The bifunctional mechanism for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) involving two distinct reaction sites is studied through the computational hydrogen electrode method for a set of catalyst materials including rutile TiO2(110), anatase TiO2(101), SnO2(110) ...

Enzyme annotation for orphan and novel reactions using knowledge of substrate reactive sites

Ljubisa Miskovic, Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Noushin Hadadi, Marianne Seijo

Thousands of biochemical reactions with characterized activities are “orphan,” meaning they cannot be assigned to a specific enzyme, leaving gaps in metabolic pathways. Novel reactions predicted by pathway-generation tools also lack associated sequences, l ...

Control Theory Concepts for Modeling Uncertainty in Enzyme Kinetics of Biochemical Networks

Ljubisa Miskovic, Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Georgios Savoglidis, Milenko Tokic

Analysis of the dynamic and steady-state properties of biochemical networks hinges on information about the parameters of enzyme kinetics. The lack of experimental data characterizing enzyme activities and kinetics along with the associated uncertainties i ...

A novel cell-based sensor detecting the activity of individual basic proprotein convertases

Daniel Constam, Karin Irmgard Löw, Stefan Kunz

The basic proprotein convertases (PCs) furin, PC1/3, PC2, PC5/6, PACE4, PC4, and PC7 are promising drug targets for human diseases. However, developing selective inhibitors remains challenging due to overlapping substrate recognition motifs and limited str ...

Particle-Based Simulation Reveals Macromolecular Crowding Effects on the Michaelis-Menten Mechanism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Daniel Robert Weilandt

Many computational models for analyzing and predicting cell physiology rely on in vitro data collected in dilute and controlled buffer solutions. However, this can mislead models because up to 40% of the intracellular volume-depending on the organism, the ...
