Peptides is Magda’s favourite topic. So far, she has mainly focused on beta-amyloids. However, in cooperation established with the University of Wroclaw she has had the opportunity to study a new group of peptides. In our new article published with Joanna Wątły’s group this is motivated by “[t]he necessity to […]

Collaboration is extremely important to us. Gaining new knowledge, both practical and theoretical, is also extremely important. For this reason, Magda went on a 6-month internship to Professor Alvaro Colina’s group in Burgos, Spain. The cooperation turned out to be very successful because shortly after her return our first article […]
The next paper in Magda’s series of articles on the redox behaviour of β-amyloids relevant for Alzheimer’s disease has just hit the press. Here we have been looking at how the presence of a redox-active amino acid, tyrosine (Tyr), affects the oxidation of a Cu(II) attached to the amino terminus […]
This paper is mainly the work by the student Sebastian Machera, who spend some time working in the Surface Nanoengineering group. Together with Dr Katarzyna Szot-Karpińska, he was working on phage display technology to make bacteriophage express peptides that could recognise specific targets. In this case, the model target was […]
