Published in 2022 at "Redox Biology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2022.102290

Abstract: Endothelial dysfunction is the initial process of atherosclerosis. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), as a molecular chaperone, plays a crucial role in various cardiovascular diseases. Hsp90 function is regulated by S-nitrosylation (SNO). However, the precise… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "CrystEngComm"

DOI: 10.1039/d0ce01704c

Abstract: We report the discovery of a novel metastable polymorph of a propyloxy substituted calix[4]arene molecule which undergoes two distinct transformations to form different conformers and packing arrangements. The first transition was found as a reversible… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Nucleic Acids Research"

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gky1299

Abstract: Abstract As an environment-dependent pleiotropic gene regulator in Gram-negative bacteria, the H-NS protein is crucial for adaptation and toxicity control of human pathogens such as Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae or enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli. Changes in temperature… read more here.
