Abstract Metal ion-catalysed overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are believed to contribute significantly to oxidative stress and be involved in several biological processes, from immune defence to development of diseases. Among the essential metal ions, copper is one of the most…
Abstract This study addresses the chemoselectivity of the catalyzed reduction of a series of variously substituted γ-lactams by Et3SiH mediated by a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl iridacyclic acetonitrilo salt derived from benzo[h]quinoline. Introduction of an unsaturation within the 5-membered ring…
Abstract Miniaturized NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) devices are a trend in the industry because they allow a flexible use within a range of applications that would be otherwise not feasible with standard NMR equipment. However, one of the main obstacles in the development of miniaturized NMR…
L'Institut de Chimie de Strasbourg a le plaisir de vous annoncer que l'article « Inorganic phosphate in growing calcium carbonate abalone shell suggests a shared mineral ancestral precursor » récemment publié dans Nature Communication, auquel Philippe Bertani (équipe Biophysique des membranes et RMN…
Abstract Depending on the coordination, copper ions can have a very high activity in catalyzing the production of reactive oxygen species. Thus interest arose in increasing the activity of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) by equipping them with a Cu-binding unit. Several examples, native and…
Abstract MHC class II receptors carry important function in adaptive immunity and their malfunctioning is associated with diabetes type I, chronic inflammatory diseases and other autoimmune diseases. The protein assembles from the DQ alpha-1 and DQ beta-1 subunits where the transmembrane domains…
Abstract The major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) membrane proteins are key players in the adaptive immune response. An aberrant function of these molecules is associated with a large number of autoimmune diseases such as diabetes type I and chronic inflammatory diseases. The MHC…
