Preparing Main Group Metal Clusters from Organoaluminium Reagents; New Possibilities in Alkali-Activated Polymer Crosslinking
(2018-11-20)The reactions of carboxylic acids with organoaluminium reagents were studied, which led to the formation of novel aluminium compounds. The reactions of orthofunctionalised derivatives of benzoic acid with trivalent aluminium ... -
Mitigating protein aggregation to reduce the toxicity inherent to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases
(2018-11-24)Protein deposition in the form of amyloid fibrils is the hallmark of more than 40 human pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Misfolded protein oligomers formed as intermediates ... -
Microfluidics and chemical kinetics to analyse protein interactions, aggregation, and physicochemical properties
(2019-05-10)Proteins play a major role in living systems and present a wide spectrum of functionalities. Many different types of proteins are involved into biological processes, such as the catalysis of biochemical reactions, cellular ... -
Energy Landscapes for Protein Folding
(2018-09-30)Proteins are involved in numerous functions in the human body, including chemical transport, molecular recognition, and catalysis. To perform their function most proteins must adopt a specific structure (often referred to ...
