Influence of the surfactant degree of oligomerization on the formation of cyclodextrin: surfactant inclusion complexes
(Elsevier, 2020)
Supramolecular complexation is an attractive strategy to modulate the performance of surfactants, e.g., by host-guest interactions. Here, we investigate the interaction of single-chained, di-, tri-, and tetrameric cationic ...

Encased Gold Nanoparticle Synthesis as a Probe for Oleuropein Self-Assembled Structure Formation
(MDPI, 2020-12)
Stable oleuropein-coated gold nanoparticles in aqueous media were synthesized for the first time. Oleuropein (OLE) concentration in the reaction medium was found to greatly influence the outcome and stability of the ...

sp2-Iminosugars targeting human lysosomal β-hexosaminidase as pharmacological chaperone candidates for late-onset Tay-Sachs disease
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
The late-onset form of Tay-Sachs disease displays when the activity levels of human β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) fall below 10% of normal, due to mutations that destabilise the native folded form of the enzyme and impair its ...

Glycomimetic-based pharmacological chaperones for lysosomal storage disorders: lessons from Gaucher, GM1-gangliosidosis and Fabry diseases
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are often caused by mutations that destabilize native folding and impair the trafficking of enzymes, leading to premature endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation, deficiencies ...
