Characterization of the kisspeptin system in human sperm
(European Academy of Andrology, 2012)
Kisspeptin, the product of the KISS1 gene, plays an essential role in the regulation of spermatogenesis acting primarily at the hypothalamic level of the gonadotropic axis. However, the presence of kisspeptin and its ...

Pharmacological chaperone therapy for Gaucher disease: A patent review
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Introduction: Mutations in the gene encoding for acid β-glucosidase (β-glucocerebrosidase, GlcCerase) are seen in Gaucher disease (GD), which give rise to significant protein misfolding effects and result in progressive ...

Mannosyl-coated nanocomplexes from amphiphilic cyclodextrins and pDNA for site-specific gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2011-10)
Fully homogeneous facial amphiphiles consisting in a cyclodextrin (CD) platform onto which a polycationic cluster and a multi-tail hydrophobic moiety have been installed (polycationic amphiphilic CDs; paCDs) self-organized ...

Self-association of a naphthalene-capped-β-cyclodextrin through cooperative strong hydrophobic interactions
(Elsevier, 2011-09-05)
NMR, circular dichroism and fluorescence techniques were used to study the structure in solution of a new β-cyclodextrin derivate in which naphthalene chromophore group is bridged to O(2) and O(3) secondary positions of ...

Novel bis (1,3,2-diazaphospholidine) ligands for asymmetric catalysis
(American Chemical Society, 2013)
A family of modularly designed chiral bis(1,3,2-diazaphospholidines) with N-aryl substituents (NP-PN) is reported. These compounds have been prepared in two steps from readily available (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane and ...

Highly enantioselective hydrogenation of 1-alkylvinyl benzoates: A simple, nonenzymatic access to chiral 2-alkanols
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
Going chiral! Highly enantioselective catalytic hydrogenations of enol esters 1 by using a Rh catalyst bearing a POP ligand are described (see scheme; NBD=norbornadiene). The catalytic system has a broad scope and allows ...

Cyclodextrin-mediated Crystallization of Acid β-glucosidase in Complex with Amphiphilic Bicyclic Nojirimycin Analogues
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011)
Cyclodextrin-based host-guest chemistry has been exploited to facilitate co-crystallization of recombinant human acid β-glucosidase (β-glucocerebrosidase, GlcCerase) with amphiphilic bicyclic nojirimycin analogues of the ...

Asymmetric organocatalytic Strecker-type reactions of aliphatic N,N-dialkylhydrazones
(Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain), 2013)
The enantioselective organocatalytic Strecker-type reaction of aliphatic N,N-dialkylhydrazones is presented. Using trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) as the cyanide source, the reaction can be efficiently catalyzed by a ...

Selective carbohydrate-lectin interactions in covalent graphene- and SWCNT-based molecular recognition systems
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
Two new protein recognition systems have been prepared by covalent functionalization of few-layer graphene and SWCNTs with α-D-mannosyl dendrons. A glycodendron, bearing three mannose moieties on the periphery for effective ...

Virus-like glycodendrinanoparticles displaying quasi-equivalent nested polyvalency upon glycoprotein platforms potently block viral infection
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)
Ligand polyvalency is a powerful modulator of protein–receptor interactions. Host–pathogen infection interactions are often mediated by glycan ligand–protein interactions, yet its interrogation with very high copy number ...
