Article
Open AccessTot i els innegables beneficis del treball en grup, freqüentment ens trobem amb problemes de falta de motivació per part de l'alumnat. En la present comunicació es mostra una experiència desenvolupada a fi de fomentar la ... -
The influence of Ni2+ and other ions on the trigonal structure of DNA
(Wiley, 2021-04-13)
Article
Open AccessWe present a new structure of a DNA dodecamer obtained in the presence of Ni2+ ions. The DNA forms Ni-guanine cross-links between neighboring molecules. Our results show that an adequate dosage of Ni2+ may help to form ... -
Conducting polymer nanoparticles for voltage-controlled release of pharmacological chaperones
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
Article
Open AccessPharmacological chaperones (PCs) are low-molecular weight chemical molecules used in patients for the treatment of some rare diseases caused primarily by protein instability. A controlled and on-demand release of PCs via ... -
Nanotheranostic Interface Based on Antibiotic-Loaded Conducting Polymer Nanoparticles for Real-Time Monitoring of Bacterial Growth Inhibition
(2020-12-18)
Article
Open AccessConducting polymers have been increasingly used as biologically interfacing electrodes for biomedical applications due to their excellent and fast electrochemical response, reversible doping–dedoping characteristics, high ... -
Scaffolds for sustained release of ambroxol hydrochloride, a pharmacological Chaperone that Increases the Activity of Misfolded ß-Glucocerebrosidase
(2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessAmbroxol is a pharmacological chaperone (PC) for Gaucher disease that increases lysosomal activity of misfolded ß-glucocerebrosidase (GCase) while displaying a safe toxicological profile. In this work, different ... -
Evolution of tandem repeat satellite sequences in two closely related caenorhabditis species: Diminution of satellites in hermaphrodites
(2017-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe availability of the genome sequence of the unisexual (male-female) Caenorhabditis nigoni offers an opportunity to compare its non-coding features with the related hermaphroditic species Caenorhabditis briggsae; to ... -
Effect of solvent choice on the self-assembly properties of a diphenylalanine amphiphile stabilized by an ion pair
(2017-07-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA diphenylalanine (FF) amphiphile blocked at the C terminus with a benzyl ester (OBzl) and stabilized at the N terminus with a trifluoroacetate (TFA) anion was synthetized and characterized. Aggregation of peptide molecules ... -
Functional and structural analysis of AT-specific minor groove binders that disrupt DNA-protein interactions and cause disintegration of the Trypanosoma brucei kinetoplast
(2017-08-21)
Article
Open AccessTrypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of sleeping sickness (Human African Trypanosomiasis, HAT), contains a kinetoplast with the mitochondrial DNA (kDNA), comprising of >70% AT base pairs. This has prompted studies of ... -
