Insights into the myristoylated c-Src N-terminal Regulatory Element
c-Src is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that controls numerous cellular signaling pathways. c-Src implication in human cancers was brought into the attention in the 1980s. Since its discovery, unveiling of c-Src ...
Molecular-based Magnetoresistance Devices at Room Temperature
In this doctoral thesis a series of computational and experimental studies of molecular magnetoresistance devices at room temperature is presented. This sort of devices is included in the molecular electronics framework ...
Drug discovery with a FRET Biosensor of scaffolding interactions in the N-terminal region of c-Src = Descubrimiento de fármacos mediante un biosensor basado en FRET sensible a las interacciones en la región N-terminal de c-Src
c-Src tyrosine kinase is associated with poor prognosis in many cancer processes. Although inhibitors of c-Src kinase activity are known, they have not reached success in clinical trials because of lack of selectivity or ...
Mechanistic insights into substrate-assisted catalysis in glycosidases by means of QM/MM molecular dynamics
Carbohydrates are essential molecules in biotechnology and for the proper functioning of living organisms. They are involved in energy storage, being structural components or participating in crucial biological processes ...
The development of new, direct and asymmetric Ni(II) catalysed carbon-carbon bond forming reactions and their application to total synthesis
This thesis focuses on the search for new methodologies for the direct, stereoselective and catalytic formation of carbon-carbon bonds through the formation of chiral nickel(II) enolate species and the application of such ...
