16. Selenocysteine in proteins : properties and biotechnological use
Abstract : Selenocysteine (Sec), the 21st amino acid, exists in all kingdoms of life and has unique biochemical properties, such as high electrophilicity and low pKa. The highly increased reactivity of selenoenzymes compared to their sulfur-containing cysteine-dependent homologs is generally regarded as the evolutionary reason for having selenoproteins. READ MORE

17. Molecular mechanisms and targets of new anticancer treatments
Abstract : The work presented in this thesis is an effort to decipher and understand the mechanism of action (MOA) of anticancer agents by building on and complementing chemical proteomics methods. The backbone of the thesis relies on a recent method called Functional Identification of Target by Expression Proteomics (FITExP) developed in Zubarev lab, where drug induced proteomic signatures are analyzed in various cell lines and top differentially regulated proteins with consistent behavior are determined, among which the drug target and mechanistic proteins are usually present.
