Spectroelectrochemical studies of TDMQ20: A potential drug against Alzheimer’s disease

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 […]

Redox behaviour of Cu-Aβ(4-16) complexes related to Alzheimer’s Disease

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 […]

Determination of the Dissociation Constant for Polyvalent Receptors using ELISA: a Case of M13 Phages Displaying Troponin T-specific Peptides

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 […]
