1. Inhibitors of Human and Malaria Parasite Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase
Abstract : In the first part of the PhD work, small chemical entities (fragments) found to inhibit human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), were chemically optimized. As part of an ample program at Active Biotech to find new drugs against autoimmune diseases, expanded fragments were repeatedly designed, synthesized and evaluated in a human DHODH assay. READ MORE

2. Reconstitution of Membrane-Bound Enzymes for Neutron Scattering Studies: A Case Study of Human Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase
Abstract : Membrane proteins are challenging to study due the necessity to maintain a lipid-like environment to preserve their structure and function. Particularly difficult to study are membrane-bound enzymes that interact with lipophilic substrates. READ MORE

3. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase : new insights into an old target
Abstract : Purine and pyrimidine nucleotides are important for both biosynthetic and regulatory pathways in cells. As constituents of the DNA and RNA molecules, the requirements for nucleotides in actively dividing cells are increased. READ MORE

4. Advanced computations and mass-spectrometric techniques to unravel the dynamics and interactions of proteins
Abstract : Proteins are an important class of biomolecules, involved in the metabolism, regulation, structure and transport in cells. Unfortunately, many diseases are caused by protein dysfunction. When proteins perform their normal function, they may interact with each other or change their conformation. READ MORE

5. Investigating ALK inhibitors alone or in combination as therapeutic options for ALK-positive neuroblastoma
Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NBL) is the third most common pediatric cancer after leukemia and cranial tumours and accounts for around 15% of death in pediatric malignancy. NBL develops due to the poorly differentiated progenitor cells of the sympathetic nervous system. READ MORE
