Artificial Natural Products System Synthesis (ANaPSyS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

"Traditionally, natural products are classified into "natural product families". Within a family all congeners display specific structure elements, owing to their common biosynthetic pathway. This suggests a bio-inspired or "collective synthesis", as has been devised by D: W. MacMillan. However, a biosynthetic pathway is confined to these structure elements, thus limiting synthesis with regard to ...

Discovery of novel orphan riboswitch ligands (RiboDisc)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

Riboswitches are mRNA-based gene-regulatory elements triggered by direct interactions with small molecular ligands. They are exciting targets for novel antibiotic strategies. Many putative riboswitches have been identified using bioinformatics. However, ligand identification is getting more complicated since many motifs are not expected to be involved in simple feedback regulation mechanisms. For ...

Muscle Stress Relief: An integrated research program linking together basic research on secondary myopathies in stress states to innovative translation in applied myology. (Muscle stress relief)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

A diverse variety of medical or lifestyle conditions lead to a progressive loss of muscle force by functionally impairing myofibril contractility and causing ultimately myofibril loss. Major underlying risk factors of chronic muscle force loss are ageing, inactive lifestyles, and unbalanced nutrition. Together, these factors are predicted to lead to an endemic incidence of muscle weakness both in ...
