Karbēnu-metāla-amīnu atvasinājumu emisijas īpašību pētījumi plānās kārtiņās dažādās temperatūrās
2022
Viena no mūsdienās dominējošām tehnoloģijām displejos ir organiskās gaismu emitējošās diodes. Tā ne tikai piedāvā augstu emisijas efektivitāti, patērējot maz elektroenerģijas, bet arī dod iespēju ražot lokanus displejus. Zilās krāsas emiteru attīstība ir lēnāka nekā sarkanās un zaļās krāsas, kas traucē sasniegt augstu efektivitāti, stabilitāti un pieejamību. Šīs problēmas iespējams risināt, izmantojot organiskos savienojumus, kuriem piemīt termiski aktivētā aizkavētā fluorescence, tā atsakoties no iepriekš izmantotajiem metālu organikas kompleksiem, kuri saturēja smagos metālus. Darbā tika pētītas karbēnu-metāla-amīnu atvasinājumu emisijas īpašības dažādās temperatūrās. Tika pierādīta termi…
Compared Binding Properties between Resveratrol and Other Polyphenols to Plasmatic Albumin: Consequences for the Health Protecting Effect of Dietary …
2014
International audience; Phytophenols are considered to have beneficial effects towards human physiology. They are food microcomponents with potent chemopreventive properties towards the most three frequent contemporary human diseases, e.g., cardiovascular alterations, cancer and neurodegenerative pathologies. Related to this, the plasmatic form and plasmatic level of plant polyphenols in the body circulation are crucial for their efficiency. Thus, determinations of the binding process of resveratrol and of common flavonoids produced by major edible plants, berries and fruits to plasma proteins are essential. The interactions between resveratrol and albumin, a major plasma protein, were comp…

Absolute quantification of noncoding RNA by microscale thermophoresis
2019
Abstract Accurate quantification of the copy numbers of noncoding RNA has recently emerged as an urgent problem, with impact on fields such as RNA modification research, tissue differentiation, and others. Herein, we present a hybridization‐based approach that uses microscale thermophoresis (MST) as a very fast and highly precise readout to quantify, for example, single tRNA species with a turnaround time of about one hour. We developed MST to quantify the effect of tRNA toxins and of heat stress and RNA modification on single tRNA species. A comparative analysis also revealed significant differences to RNA‐Seq‐based quantification approaches, strongly suggesting a bias due to tRNA modifica…
Pressure-Dependent Tuning of Photoluminescence and Size Distribution of Carbon Nanodots for Theranostic Anticancer Applications
2020
Carbon nanodots (CDs) have recently attracted attention in the field of nanomedicine because of the biocompatibility, cost-effective nature, high specific surface, good near infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion into heat and tunable fluorescence properties, which have paved the way toward incorporating use of CDs into innovative anticancer theranostic platforms. However, a reliable synthesis of CDs with established and controlled physiochemical proprieties is precluded owing to the lack of full manipulation of thermodynamic parameters during the synthesis, thus limiting their use in real world medical applications. Herein, we developed a robust solvothermal protocol which allow fine contr…
Human Topoisomerase I interaction with DNA on flexible nylon substrate for malaria diagnosis
The study of interaction between human Topoisomerase I (hTopo I) and the appropriate sequences of DNA is shown, with the aim to realize a biosensor for malaria diagnosis. Topoisomerases alter the topological state of DNA by catalysing the breaking and rejoining of DNA strands1. The ligase activity is fundamental for our biosensing strategy, revealing the pathology. hTopo I was chosen as a model system for the Plasmodium analogous. The biosensor is a new flexible and easy to degrade biochip printed on nylon by dip-pen lithography (DPL). It is realized exploiting the high specificity of complementary ssDNA2 and hTopo I ligase activity. DPL operation needs ultra-low amounts of DNA (0.5 µL) to …
Search for photons with energies above 1018 eV using the hybrid detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
2017
A search for ultra-high energy photons with energies above 1 EeV is performed using nine years of data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory in hybrid operation mode. An unprecedented separation power between photon and hadron primaries is achieved by combining measurements of the longitudinal air-shower development with the particle content at ground measured by the fluorescence and surface detectors, respectively. Only three photon candidates at energies 1-2 EeV are found, which is compatible with the expected hadron-induced background. Upper limits on the integral flux of ultra-high energy photons of 0.027, 0.009, 0.008, 0.008 and 0.007 km-2 sr-1 yr-1 are derived at 95% C.L. for ener…
Observation of the Early Structural Changes Leading to the Formation of Protein Superstructures.
2014
Formation of superstructures in protein aggregation processes has been indicated as a general pathway for several proteins, possibly playing a role in human pathologies. There is a severe lack of knowledge on the origin of such species in terms of both mechanisms of formation and structural features. We use equine lysozyme as a model protein, and by combining spectroscopic techniques and microscopy with X-ray fiber diffraction and ab initio modeling of Small Angle X-ray Scattering data, we isolate the partially unfolded state from which one of these superstructures (i.e., particulate) originates. We reveal the low-resolution structure of the unfolded state and its mechanism of formation, hi…
Listeria monocytogenes transpeptidāzes Sortāzes A inhibitoru atlase izmantojot uz fluorescences rezonanses enerģijas pārnesi (FRET) bāzētu skrīningu
2016
Darba mērķis ir atrast jaunus inhibitorus, kas kavē Listeria monocytogenes transpeptidāzes sortāzes A veikto hidrolīzes reakciju, inhibējot sortāzes A darbību. Šī mērķa sasniegšanai tika izveidota DNS konstrukcija, kas kodē Listeria monocytogenes sortāzes A katalītisko domēnu. Tā kā vislabāk izpētīta ir Staphylococcus aureus sortāze A, papildus tika izveidota tās katalītisko domēnu kodējoša DNS konstrukcija. Ekspresija tika sekmīgi veikta E. coli ekspresijas sistēmā, abi proteīni bija šķīstoši. Sortāzes inhibitori tika atlasīti izmantojot augstas caurlaidības skrīningu, kas tika balstīts uz fluorescences rezonanses enerģijas pārnesi (FRET). 705 potenciālo inhibitoro savienojumu skrīninga re…
