Protein oxidation is an unavoidable consequence of aerobic metabolism. The oxidation of most proteins residues is non-repairable and may affect protein structure and function. In particular, protein cross-links are toxic to cells because they may accumulate and induce protein aggregation, which is a hallmark of aging-related diseases. However, most of these irreversible protein cross link…
Betalains are plant pigments that have been used on the development of fluorescent probes for application in Cellular Biology. Both the persistence of natural and semisynthetic betalains on aqueous media and the intracellular concentration of these compounds increase in thepresence of sucrose and other carbohydrates. In this doctorate project we propose: (i) the semisynthesis of aromatic …
The goal of this scientific initiation project is to verify not the occurrence of intermolecular copigmentation between betalains and phenolic acids or their analogs bearing amine moieties. Two model betalains shall be used: betanin and indicaxanthin. Betanin is a glycosylated red betacyanin that can be obtained from beetroot juice; indicaxanthin is a yellow betaxanthin prepared using bet…
Betalains are water-soluble imine/iminium natural pigments whose physicochemical properties can be tailored to specific applications. Depending on their chemical structure, betalains attached to nanostructured materials can promote electron hole transport via proton coupled electron transfer. We designed a photoresponsive and multifunctional betalain that can be covalently attached to met…
