Alternative RNA splicing is an essential part of gene expression that not only increases the protein diversity of metazoan but also provides an additional layer of gene expression regulation. The U1 small ribonucleoparticle (U1 snRNP) plays an essential role in seeding spliceosome assembly and its binding on weak 5'-splice sites is regulated by transient interactions with splicing factors. Recent progress in allele specific splicing correction has shown the therapeutic potential offered by small...

Probing the Interactions of Porphyrins with Macromolecules Using NMR Spectroscopy Techniques
Porphyrinic compounds are widespread in nature and play key roles in biological processes such as oxygen transport in blood, enzymatic redox reactions or photosynthesis. In addition, both naturally derived as well as synthetic porphyrinic compounds are extensively explored for biomedical and technical applications such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photovoltaic systems, respectively. Their unique electronic structures and photophysical properties make this class of compounds so interesting...

Abstract
Ras homologue enriched in brain (Rheb) is a small GTPase that regulates mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and, thereby, cell growth and metabolism. Cycling between the inactive GDP- and the active...

A simple approach for detecting internal water molecules in proteins in solution is described. This approach combines 19F-detected heteronuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy (HOESY) with site-specific 19F substitution. The model system employed was intestinal fatty acid-binding protein complexed with...
