Unlike the standard materials, metallic nanoparticles offer enhancing the heat convertion rate which implies the maximum and average temperature boost significantly in the considered system. The work's purpose is to...
Heavy pnictogen chalcohalide semiconductors are coming under the spotlight for energy conversion applications. Here we present the colloidal synthesis of phase pure AgBiSCl2 nanocrystals. This quaternary chalcohalide compound features a...
The PdI2/KI-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of 4-(2-aminophenyl)-3-yn-1-ols, bearing two potential nucleophilic groups in suitable position selectively leads to dihydrofuroquinolinone derivatives in fair to high yields (60%-89%) and excellent turnover numbers (180-267...
The rationale of the present project is that is possible to mimic the orientation and the interactions of the key residues of a protein motif by varying the position and...
This proposal sets its foundations on a multidisciplinary research team with strong expertise in biochemistry, dermatology, microbiology, nanomaterial engineering, physical-chemistry. All the required competences are therefore present to unlock the...
Uveal Melanoma (UM) is a rare form of melanoma but the most frequent and aggressive primary ocular tumor in adults with about 50% of patients developing metastasis with fatal outcome...
Lafora disease (LD) is a progressive and fatal epilepsy with teenage-onset. It is caused by the accumulation of insoluble polyglucosans in neurons, determined by an increased glycogen production. At the...
The pressure-induced properties of hybrid organic-inorganic ferroelectrics (HOIFs) with tunable structures and selectable organic and inorganic components are important for device fabrication. However, given the structural complexity of polycrystalline HOIFs...
Hexokinase (HK) is the first enzyme of glycolytic pathway and traps glucose inside the cell as 6Pi-glucose. To conveniently access ATP necessary for phosphorylation, HK binds on the surface of...
Many apparently unrelated pathologies termed as “protein conformational diseases” (PCDs), including Alzheimer’s (AD), Parkinson (PD) and prion diseases, are characterized by abnormal accumulation of misfolded, toxic proteins. A hallmark of...
