Rational design and binding of modified cell-wall peptides to vancomycin-group antibiotics : Factorising free energy contributions to binding
(1993-01-01)Modified cell-wall peptides have been rationally designed and studied in a semi-quantitative approach to factorising free energy contributions in binding to vancomycin-group antibiotics in aqueous solution. Binding energies ... -
Rational design of novel fluorescent tagged glutamic acid dendrimers with different terminal groups and in-silico analysis of their properties
(2017-09-25)Dendrimers are hyperbranched polymers with a multifunctional architecture that can be tailored for the use in various biomedical applications. Peptide dendrimers are particularly relevant for drug delivery applications due ... -
Rationale and design of "Can Very Low Dose Rivaroxaban (VLDR) in addition to dual antiplatelet therapy improve thrombotic status in acute coronary syndrome (VaLiDate-R)" study : A randomised trial modulating endogenous fibrinolysis in patients with acute coronary syndrome
(2019-12-23)Impaired endogenous fibrinolysis is novel biomarker that can identify patients with ACS at increased cardiovascular risk. The addition of Very Low Dose Rivaroxaban (VLDR) to dual antiplatelet therapy has been shown to ... -
Rationale and design of BISTRO : a randomized controlled trial to determine whether bioimpedance spectroscopy-guided fluid management maintains residual kidney function in incident haemodialysis patients
