      Article
      Accés obert
      Oxidative stress, which occurs when an organism is exposed to an adverse stimulus that results in a misbalance of antioxidant and pro-oxidants species, is the common denominator of diseases considered as a risk factor for ...
    • IgG1-b12-HIV-gp120 interface in solution: a computational study 

      Martí Ballesté, Dídac; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Ainsley, Jon; Ahumada Heredero, Óscar; Torras Costa, Juan (2021-12-31)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The use of broadly neutralizing antibodies against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been shown to be a promising therapeutic modality in the prevention of HIV infection. Understanding the b12–gp120 binding ...
    • In silico antibody engineering for SARS-CoV-2 detection 

      Martí Ballesté, Dídac; Martin Martinez, Eduard; Torras Costa, Juan; Bertran Cànovas, Òscar; Turón Dols, Pau; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Engineered immunoglobulin-G molecules (IgGs) are of wide interest for the development of detection elements in protein-based biosensors with clinical applications. The strategy usually employed for the de novo design of ...
    • In silico study of substrate chemistry effect on the tethering of engineered antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 detection: amorphous silica vs gold 

      Martí Ballesté, Dídac; Martin Martinez, Eduard; Torras Costa, Juan; Bertran Cànovas, Òscar; Turon, Pau; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (Elsevier, 2022-05)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The influence of the properties of different solid substrates on the tethering of two antibodies, IgG1-CR3022 and IgG1-S309, which were specifically engineered for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, has been examined at the ...
    • Microscopic characterization of phase transition in a protein 

      Martí Ballesté, Dídac (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-06)
      Treball Final de Grau
      Accés obert
      In this work, we have proved that SCALA technology can be successfully used to investigate thermal phase transitions in proteins at the microscopic level. For this purpose, we have functionalized silicon cantilevers, which ...
