Photoreception in Drosophila larvae: Information coding in a simple neuronal circuit (PhotoNaviNet)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2017,

How does the neuronal network of the brain mediate its function? This fundamental question in biology is still a puzzle, despite decades of intensive work. A seemingly unsolvable obstacle when studying the brain is its enormous complexity.A powerful approach to understand our brain uses “simple” brains of animal models, in which one can genetically identify and manipulate neurons. The brain of the ...

Small Artery Remodelling (SmArteR)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,

Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Europe. Small arteries form a key element in the pathogenesis. Thus, these vessels dictate local perfusion and blood pressure by adaptation of their caliber. Structural changes towards smaller caliber, small artery remodelling, cause hypertension and decreased organ perfusion, leading to acute events and chronic end organ d ...

Probing the relevance of carbene binding motifs in enzyme reactivity (carbenzymes)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,

Histidine (His) is an ubiquitous ligand in the active site of metalloenzymes that is assumed by default to bind the metal center through one of its nitrogen atoms. However, protonation of His, which is likely to occur in locally slightly acidic environment, gives imidazolium sites that can bind a metal in a carbene-type structure as found in N-heterocyclic carbene complexes. Such carbene bonding h ...
