1. Tetradentate amide extraction agents for trivalent lanthanides
Abstract : Lanthanides are valuable materials. They are used in catalysts, permanent magnets, batteries, optical devices, and in many other products. Lanthanides are mainly supplied by mining industry, which generates large volumes of waste due to relatively low concentrations of these elements in geological deposits. READ MORE

2. Calculations of Reaction Mechanisms and Entropic Effects in Enzyme Catalysis
Abstract : Ground state destabilization is a hypothesis to explain enzyme catalysis. The most popular interpretation of it is the entropic effect, which states that enzymes accelerate biochemical reactions by bringing the reactants to a favorable position and orientation and the entropy cost of this is compensated by enthalpy of binding.

3. Assessing self-association of intrinsically disordered proteins by coarse-grained simulations and SAXS
Abstract : This research investigates the behavior of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in solution, especially the self-associating saliva protein Statherin, by a combined computational and experimental approach. For the computational part, a bead necklace model previously parameterised for Histatin 5 was used. READ MORE

4. Protein Folding Studies on the Ribosomal Protein S6: the Role of Entropy in Nucleation
Abstract : One of the most challenging tasks remaining in the field of biochemistry is the one of understanding how the information within the amino acid sequence of proteins translates into a unique structure. Solving this problem would lead to endless possibilities for application in the medical and biotechnology industry. READ MORE

5. Selection of transthyretin amyloid inhibitors
Abstract : Amyloidosis is a group of clinical disorders caused by the aggregation of specific proteins into abnormal extracellular deposits. Today, 31 different proteins have been linked to amyloid diseases including transthyretin-related amyloidosis (ATTR). READ MORE
