High resolution CryoEM structure of the ring-shaped virulence factor EspB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Florence Pojer, Jérémie Piton

The EspB protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a 60 kDa virulence factor, implicated in conjugation and exported by the ESX-1 system of which it may also be a component. Previous attempts to obtain high-resolution maps of EspB by cryo-electron microscop ...

Algorithms and flowchart for the design of synthetic biochemical networks

Homa Mohammadi Peyhani

New drugs are needed to assure effective therapies for previously untreated diseases, emerging diseases, and personalized medicine, but the process of drug development is complex, costly, and time-consuming. This is especially problematic considering that ...

Essential role of oxygen vacancies of Cu-Al and Co-Al spinel oxides in their catalytic activity for the reverse water gas shift reaction

Ursula Röthlisberger, Jeremy Luterbacher, Christophe Jean Baranowski, Oliver Kröcher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Murat Kiliç

CO2 catalytic hydrogenation to CO will likely be an important part of CO2 mitigation and valorization processes. Recently, we have developed materials containing surface-formed Cu-Al spinel that act as active and stable catalysts for this reaction. Here, t ...

Oxygen evolution reaction catalyzed by first-row transition metal oxides: stability and mechanism

Aliki Moysiadou

Water splitting offers the opportunity for storing solar energy and, thus, producing carbon-neutral and renewable solar fuels. The process, known as artificial photosynthesis, is limited by the electrocatalytic conversion of water into molecular oxygen. El ...

Near-Enantiopure Trimerization of 9-Ethynylphenanthrene on a Chiral Metal Surface

Harald Brune, Jan Prinz, Roland Widmer, Aliaksandr Yakutovich, Samuel Thomas Stolz

Enantioselectivity in heterogeneous catalysis strongly depends on the chirality transfer between catalyst surface and all reactants, intermediates, and the product along the reaction pathway. Herein we report the first enantioselective on-surface synthesis ...

Mechanistic Studies of Two Ni-Catalyzed Reactions: Reductive Amidation of Esters with Nitroarenes and Hydrosilylation of Alkenes

Marten Leendert Ploeger

Mechanistic investigations into homogeneously catalyzed reactions are essential for the fur-ther development of synthetic methodologies. Insights in the overall reaction pathway and vital steps such as the rate-determining and selectivity-determining steps ...

Synergism between non-thermal plasma and photocatalysis: Implicationsin the post discharge of ozone at a pilot scale in a catalytic fixed-bed reactor

Sami Rtimi

This study focuses on Butyraldehyde (C4H8O) degradation using catalytic ozonation oriented to the optimization of non-thermal plasma/photocatalytic coupled processes. After the first oxidation by non-thermal plasma coupled photocatalytic processes, a secon ...

Analysis of the S. pombe Meiotic Proteome Reveals a Switch from Anabolic to Catabolic Processes and Extensive Post-transcriptional Regulation

Marc Moniatte, Diego Chiappe, Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp, Elena Cano, Florence Armand, Romain Hamelin, Lucien Fabrice Krapp

Meiotic progression in S. pombe is regulated by stage-specific gene expression and translation, changes in RNA stability, expression of anti-sense transcripts, and targeted proteolysis of regulatory proteins. We have used SILAC labeling to examine the rela ...

Mechanochemistry-assisted hydrolysis of softwood over stable sulfonated carbon catalysts in a semi-batch process

Frédéric Vogel, Oliver Kröcher, David Ferdinand Scholz

The hydrolysis of lignocellulose is the first step in saccharide based bio-refining. The recovery of homogeneous acid catalysts imposes great challenges to the feasibility of conventional hydrolysis processes. Herein, we report a strategy to overcome these ...

Organocatalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2

Martin Hulla

The thesis describes a simple approach for N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents, the use of organic salts as N-formylation catalysts, their physical properties required for high catalytic activity and their role in the catalytic ...
