Brain and body rhythms: on the relationship between movement and percept (BBRhythms)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

Exciting findings from animal electrophysiological research in the last years suggest that an increased rate of body movements results in an enhanced response of neurons within the visual system despite the absence of visual changes. It is unclear why such modulation occurs in areas which process visual input. In humans, little is known about the influence of body movements on sensory brain areas ...

Tailoring Ylidic Compounds as Ligands for Organometallic Chemistry (YlideLigands)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

Lewis bases are a fundamental class of compounds that are of utmost importance in almost any chemical transformation. According to the HSAB concept, they determine important properties such as the stability or solubility of compounds or the selectivity of reactions. Yet, Lewis bases are used far beyond simple acid-base pairs. In coordination chemistry they act as efficient σ-donor ligands, which c...

G-quadruplex DNA Structures and Genome Stability (G4DSB)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2020,

Secondary structures such as G-quadruplexes (G4s) can form within DNA or RNA. They pose a dramatic risk for genome stability, because due to their stability they can block DNA replication and this could lead to DNA breaks. In certain cancer cells mutations/deletions are observed at G4s, if a helicase that is important for G4 unwinding is mutated. Nevertheless, G4s are also discussed to be function...
