β-Lactamases are enzymes that can break down β-lactam substrates, such as antibiotics, preventing the use of these antibiotics for the treatment of various infectious diseases. However, some compounds, β-lactamase inhibitors, can block these enzymes allowing for possible treatments using a combination…

Plant exudates appeared long time ago in the history line of life in the early Devonian. They are typical saps produced by specialized cells.

Pulsars were first discovered in 1967 and since then the population has grown and expanded over several wavelengths.

As part of the NWO-funded research project ‘The Multilingual Dynamics of the Literary Culture of Medieval Flanders, c. 1200- c. 1500’, we invite proposals for 20 minute papers addressing any aspect of medieval literature and literary culture. We welcome proposals from scholars at all career stages—and…

In this thesis I describe the results of Pulsed Interleaved Excitation and Fluorescence (Cross) Correlation Spectroscopy (PIE-F(C)CS) combined with single-pair Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (spFRET) used to study dynamics in single nucleosomes, which depends on subtle differences in the length of…

Viral diseases constitute one of the major challenges in modern medicine. Membrane-targeting have broad-spectrum potential and could distinguish viral membranes from the host cell plasma membrane by the difference in membrane curvature.

Dissociative chemisorption is an important reaction step in many catalytic reactions.

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

De huidige en toekomstige quantumcomputers vormen dezelfde uitdaging als de laser in zijn begindagen. In theorie werd voorspeld dat de laser een bron van zeer speciaal, zeer krachtig licht zou zijn. Maar in die tijd waren er geen duidelijke toepassingen voor. Critici van het idee noemden het een probleem…

The energy system is at the heart of two of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: decreasing CO2 emissions to meet the ambitions of the Paris agreement while fulfilling the growing energy demand associated with the economic aspirations of a growing world population.
