It independently quantifies the absorption and reduced scattering coefficient calibration-free and as a function of time, thus describing the optical properties in the vis/NIR range of the biomaterial during their processing. As examples of industrial relevance, enzymatic milk coagulation, beer mashing, and algae cultivation in photo bioreactors are discussed.

T1 - miRNA Targeting Drugs BT - the next blockbusters? JF - Drug Target miRNA: Methods and Protocols N2 - Only 20 years after the discovery of small non-coding, single-stranded ribonucleic acids, so-called microRNAs (miRNAs), as post-transcriptional gene regulators, the first miRNA-targeting drug Miravirsen for the treatment of hepatitis C has been successfully tested in clinical Phase II trials. Addressing miRNAs as drug targets may enable the cure, or at least the treatment of diseases, which presently seems impossible. However, due to miRNAs’ chemical structure, generation of potential drug molecules with necessary pharmacokinetic properties is still challenging and requires a re-thinking of the drug discovery process. Therefore, this chapter highlights the potential of miRNAs as drug targets, discusses the challenges, and tries to give a complete overview of recent strategies in miRNA drug discovery.

A1 - Erdelyi, Mate A1 - Yenesew, Abiy T1 - Three Chalconoids and a Pterocarpene from the Roots of Tephrosia aequilata JF - Molecules N2 - In our search for new antiplasmodial agents, the CH2Cl2/CH3OH (1:1) extract of the roots of Tephrosia aequilata was investigated, and observed to cause 100% mortality of the chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) strain of Plasmodium falciparum at a 10 mg/mL concentration. From this extract three new chalconoids, E-2,6-dimethoxy-3,4-(2,2-dimethyl)pyranoretrochalcone (1, aequichalcone A), Z-2,6-dimethoxy-3,4-(2,2-dimethyl)pyranoretrochalcone (2, aequichalcone B), 4-ethoxy-3-hydroxypraecansone B (3, aequichalcone C) and a new pterocarpene, 3,4:8,9-dimethylenedioxy-6a,11a-pterocarpene (4), along with seven known compounds were isolated. The purified compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses. Compound 1 slowly converts into 2 in solution, and thus the latter may have been enriched, or formed, during the extraction and separation process. The isomeric compounds 1 and 2 were both observed in the crude extract. Some of the isolated constituents showed good to moderate antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine-sensitive (3D7) strain of Plasmodium falciparum.

Mammalian xanthine oxidoreductase and aldehyde oxidase were among the first enzymes to be studied in detail more than 100 years ago and, surprisingly, they continue to be thoroughly studied in molecular detail with many open and unresolved questions remaining. Enzymes of the XO family are characterized by a molybdenum cofactor (Moco) active site with a MoVIOS(OH) ligand sphere where substrate hydroxylation of either aromatic or aliphatic carbon centers is catalyzed. During the reaction, electrons are transferred to the oxidizing substrate, most commonly O2 or NAD+, which react at the FAD site.

A1 - Iobbi-Nivol, Chantal T1 - Bacterial Molybdoenzymes BT - Chaperones, Assembly and Insertion JF - Molybdenum and tungsten enzymes : biochemistry N2 - The biogenesis of molybdoenzymes is a cytoplasmic event requiring both the folded apoenzymes and the matured molybdenum cofactor. The structure and the complexity of the molybdenum cofactor varies in each molybdoenzyme family and consequently different accessory proteins are required for the maturation of the respective enzymes. Thus, for enzymes of both the DMSO reductase and xanthine oxidase families, specific chaperones exist which are dedicated to increase the stability and the folding of specific members of each family. In this review, we describe the role of these chaperones for molybdoenzyme maturation. We present a model which describes step by step the mechanism of the maturation of representative molybdoenzymes from each family.

In all molybdoenzymes with the exception of nitrogenase, the molybdenum atom is coordinated to a dithiolene group present in the pterin-based 6-alkyl side chain of molybdopterin (MPT). In general, the biosynthesis of Moco can be divided into three steps in eukaryotes, and four steps in bacteria and archaea: (i) the starting point is the formation of the cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP) from 5′GTP, (ii) in the second step the two sulfur molecules are inserted into cPMP leading to the formation of MPT, (iii) in the third step the molybdenum atom is inserted into molybdopterin to form Moco and (iv) additional modification of Moco occurs in bacteria and archaea with the attachment of a nucleotide (CMP or GMP) to the phosphate group of MPT, forming the dinucleotide variants of Moco. This review will focus on the biosynthesis of Moco in bacteria, humans and plants.

Fragestellung:Ziel war es, den aktuellen Forschungsstand zur Supervision im Rahmen der kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie abzubilden, um daraus Schlussfolgerungen für die zukünftige Forschung abzuleiten. Methode:Zur Evidenzsynthese wurde ein Scoping Review durchgeführt, das die Darstellung zentraler Konzepte, aktueller Evidenz und möglicher Forschungsbedarfe ermöglichte. Neben einer systematischen Literaturrecherche wurden Vorwärts- und Rückwärtssuchstrategien eingesetzt. Ergebnisse:Eingeschlossen wurden zwölf Publikationen basierend auf zehn empirischen Studien. Alle Studien beschrieben Ausbildungssettings, aber nur wenige untersuchten übende Interventionen (z. B. Rollenspiele). Häufig wurden Effekte subjektiv erfasst, die methodische Qualität der Begleitstudien variierte. Schlussfolgerungen:Notwendig sind weitere methodisch hochwertige Studien, experimentell orientiert oder in der klinischen Praxis, die die Supervisionsforschung bereichern können. N2 - Background:Supervision plays a central role for the acquisition of therapeutic knowledge and competence and for quality control. Objective:The study aimed at mapping the current evidence regarding cognitive–behavioral supervision, and drawing conclusions for future research. Method:For evidence synthesis, we conducted a scoping review to outline key concepts, the current evidence, and potential gaps in research. In addition to a systematic literature search, forward and backward search strategies were implemented. Results:We included 12 publications on 10 empirical studies. All studies referred to education and training, but only a few examined exercises (e. g., role plays). Mostly, outcomes were evaluated subjectively, and study quality varied. Conclusion:Further methodologically sound studies, experimentally oriented or in clinical care, may support research.

Ob in der Medizin-technik, Luft- und Raumfahrt, Energiegewinnung, im Netz oder in der Schule: In allen Bereichen sorgen Innovationen für die stetige Weiterent-wicklung unser Gesellschaft. Bernd Meier hat die Bedeutung von Innova-tionen und innovativem Denken für die technische Bildung und Schule früh erkannt. Mit einer kurzen Rückschau auf sein Wirken hinsichtlich der Be-deutung von Innovationen für die technische und ökonomische Bildung soll ein wichtiger Bereich seiner Arbeit gewürdigt werden. Zu Beginn wird der Innovationsbegriff allgemein umrissen und dann mit Blick auf Schule präzi-siert. Danach wird dargestellt, welchen Stellenwert die Thematik Innovation und Technologie nicht nur in den Publikationen von Bernd Meier, sondern auch in seinen Lehrkonzeptionen eingenommen hat. Im Anschluss daran wird diskutiert, warum es gerade im Bildungsbereich so schwer ist, innova-tiv zu sein oder dauerhaft Innovationen durchzusetzen.1 Der Beitrag endet mit einem Ausblick, inwiefern Innovationen auch in Zukunft für Schule und das Fach Wirtschaft-Arbeit-Technik (kurz: WAT) eine wichtige Thematik darstellen sollten.
