Viral Metagenomic Content Reflects Seawater Ecological Quality in the Coastal Zone

Stylianos Fodelianakis, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud

Viruses interfere with their host's metabolism through the expression of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that, until now, are mostly studied under large physicochemical gradients. Here, we focus on coastal marine ecosystems and we sequence the viral metag ...

Augmented mitochondrial energy metabolism is an early response to chronic glucose stress in human pancreatic beta cells

Loïc Dayon, Isabelle Chareyron, Andreas Wiederkehr, Sofia Moco

Aims/hypothesis In islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes and in islets exposed to chronic elevated glucose, mitochondrial energy metabolism is impaired. Here, we studied early metabolic changes and mitochondrial adaptations in human beta cells durin ...

Mechanistic Study of the N-Formylation of Amines with Carbon Dioxide and Hydrosilanes

Gabor Laurenczy, Paul Joseph Dyson, Martin Hulla

N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents proceeds via fast and complex chemical equilibria, which hinder easy analysis of the reaction pathways. In situ reaction monitoring and kinetic studies reveal that three proposed pathways, vi ...

Versatile palladium-catalyzed double carbonylation of aryl bromides

Gabor Laurenczy, Paul Joseph Dyson, Cornel Fink, Xinbang Wu

A versatile palladium-catalyzed double carbonylation of aryl bromides has been developed. Using Pd(OAc)2/BuPAd2 as the catalyst system and DBU as the base, under relatively low CO pressure, various a-ketoamides were produced in good yields. In order to get ...

Approximation numérique des écoulements turbulents dans des cuves d'électrolyse de l'aluminium

Jonathan Rochat

Aluminium is a metal extracted from bauxite ore using electrolysis process in cells of big size. A huge electric current goes in the cell through an electrolytic bath and aluminium liquid. These currents generate strong magnetic forces that allow the bath ...

Regiodivergent Cyclobutanone Cleavage: Switching Selectivity with Different Lewis Acids

Nicolai Cramer, Laetitia Marie Mélanie Souillart

The exploitation of strain release in small rings as driving force to enable complex transformations is a powerful synthetic tool. Among them, cyclobutanones are particularly versatile substrates that can be elaborated in a wide variety of structurally div ...

Unraveling the Catalytic Pathway of Metalloenzyme Farnesyltransferase through QM/MM Computation

Matteo Dal Peraro

The protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) is a Zn2+-metalloenzyme that catalyzes the farnesylation reaction, i.e., the transfer of the 15-carbon atom farnesyl group from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to a specific cysteine of protein substrates. Oncogenic Ras p ...

Calcium dynamics and intercellular communication in arterial smooth muscle cells

Mathieu Lamboley

This thesis is a contribution to the field of cellular communication in arteries during vasomotion, i.e. rhythmic and spontaneous diameter oscillations of arteries. Investigating how individual smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) calcium ...
