Encapsulated lanthanide complexes like the TCMC complexes are highly stable under physiological conditions. With the ultimate goal being an in vivo application of these complexes as a sequence-selective RNA/DNA cleaving agent (artificial RNAse/DNAse), kinetic stability of the complex would be a distinct advantage. We have synthesized a novel lanthanide complex with such stability and which displays high transesterification activity. The most important attribute of this compound is the nitrophenyl group which would allow further derivatization and conjugation to a DNA oligomer, thus creating a potential for the sequence selective hydrolysis of its target.

A high throughput approach for analysis of cell nuclear deformability at single cell level Ermis, Menekse; Akkaynak, Derya; Chen, Pu; Demirci, Utkan; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2016-11-14) Various physiological and pathological processes, such as cell differentiation, migration, attachment, and metastasis are highly dependent on nuclear elasticity. Nuclear morphology directly reflects the elasticity of the nucleus. We propose that quantification of changes in nuclear morphology on surfaces with defined topography will enable us to assess nuclear elasticity and deformability. Here, we used soft lithography techniques to produce 3 dimensional (3-D) cell culture substrates decorated with micron ...
A brighter method to illuminate the dark side of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors: detection of the ADGRG1 dimers by Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET) Murat, Merve; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Cevheroğlu, Orkun; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2021-9-7) G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form oligomeric complexes in living cells, and these complex structures affect the receptor maturation, trafficking, and signaling processes. Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs), the second-largest sub-family of GPCRs, interact with extracellular matrix and ligands on the adjacent cell surface to modulate tissue and organ development. However, it is still unclear whether aGPCRs interact with each other. In this study, ADGRG1 was used as a model aGPCR to investi...
A prototype compartmental model of blood pressure distribution Akhmet, Marat (Elsevier BV, 2010-06-01) We consider a system of differential equations, the behavior of whose solutions possesses several properties characteristic of the blood pressure distribution. The system can be used for a compartmental modeling [R. Bellman, Mathematical Methods in Medicine, in: Series in Modern Applied Mathematics, vol 1, World Scientific Publishing Co., Singapore, 1983; J.A. Jacquez, Compartmental Analysis in Biology and Medicine, Elsevier, New York, 19721 of the cardiovascular system. It admits a unique bounded solution ...
Synthesis and phosphodiester transesterification activity of the La3+-complex of a novel functionalized octadentate ligand Baykal, U; Akkaya, EU (1998-08-06) Various lanthanide complexes have been shown to promote phosphodiester hydrolysis. Distribution of the available coordination sites of the lanthanides between the ligand and the labile water molecules has proved to be critical in determining the activity and stability of the complex in water at neutral pH. Since the final goal is to conjugate such hydrolytically active molecules to DNA oligomers, the design must include a functionality that can be made reactive in standard conjugation protocols. To that end...
A dataset of protein-protein interfaces for drug repurposing Abalı, Zeynep; Gursoy, Attila; Keskin, Özlem (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Proteins have crucial functions in many processes, ranging from structural building blocks to signaling or acting as catalysts to store and transport different molecules. Most functions of proteins are not conducted in isolation by a monomer (a single chain of protein structure) but with the interaction of multiple partners. Understanding the structural architecture of protein interfaces is one of the key challenges in explaining how proteins interact and function. Considering the crucial functions of prote...
