Oxidative stress is one of the most important factors in degenerative diseases like cancer, Alzheimer or in episodes like ischemia. During these processes, reactive species of oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) are generated. ...
The present research project can be included in the broad supramolecular chemistry field that was defined by Nobel laureate Jean Marie Lehn as the "chemistry beyond the molecule".1 It is based on processes of molecular ...
Prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) is an 81-KDa bidomain enzyme which hydrolyses short proline-containing peptides. This enzyme is involved in mnemonic and cognitive processes, and the dysregulation of POP activity is related to ...
A fast and direct surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method for the kinetic analysis of the interactions between peptide antigens and immobilised monoclonal antibodies (mAb) has been established. Protocols have been developed ...
The present doctoral thesis has been devoted to the use of 1,2,4,5-tetrazines as potential tools for chemical biology. Tetrazines have become extremely interesting functionalities due to their ability ...
The thesis consists of two main projects: a) the development of a novel strategy to gain genetic control with spatiotemporal precision, and b) the optimisation of inhibitors of the protein kinase p38α, which has a major ...
Dendrimers are a class of globular highly branched macromolecules with precise architecture. They consist of a multivalent surface with functional group, a core unit where branching starts, and the interior is made of ...
The present thesis is based on the development and optimization of a solid-phase strategy to prepare biaryl bicyclic pentapeptides. Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions were used to obtain the biaryl bridge. The metholodogy ...
Somatostatin, a peptidic hormone also known as somatotropin release-inhibiting factor (SRIF), is implicated in multiple biological functions, mediated by direct interaction of the peptide with a family of structurally ...
Pipecolidepsin A is a cyclodepsipeptide produced by a Homophymia marine sponge that has shown interesting anticancer properties against several human cancer cell lines. From a structural point of view, it is a “head-to-side-chain” ...
Se han sintetizado una nueva familia de moléculas, puramente orgánicas y con número par de electrones, que presentan propiedades paramagnéticas. El trabajo de esta tesis ha consistido en conocer el fundamento por el cual ...
Amyloid-beta protein (Aß) is strongly linked to the aetiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Even though Aß has a central role in AD, this protein is normally produced in healthy humans. It is the aberrant processing of Aß ...
This doctoral thesis was focused on the design and synthesis of novel chiral ligands for application in asymmetric catalysis. One of the best examples of asymmetric catalysis is the asymmetric hydrogenation reaction for ...
The present doctoral thesis has been devoted to the development of a new synthetic strategy to obtain a new member of the thiopeptide, or thiazolyl peptide, family of antibiotics. This new member, baringolin, was isolated ...
La medicina personalitzada esta prenent rellevància últimament. Aquesta es basa en la monitorització simultània de diferents biomarcadors, els biomarcadors poden ser molècules de diferent naturalesa química. Aquest fet fa ...
Protein-protein interactions are essential in biological processes and thus, they have become very promising therapeutic targets. Nevertheless, the artificial modulation of protein complexes remains a challenge. Since most ...
