An improved synthetic approach to protopines based on the sequential Hofmannelimination, hydroboration and oxidation of N-(arylmethyl)berbiniumsalts has been designed. By using berberine chloride as the starting material, this sequence of reactions has provided two new nonnatural proto
The invention relates to the field of biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, molecular biology, structural biology and medicine. More in particular, the invention relates to cross-β structure conformation. Even more particular, the invention relates to compounds capable of binding to a compound with cross-β structure conformation, i.e. cross-β structure binding compounds and uses thereof.
The present invention relates to methods and compositions that affect the GTP-binding activity of members of the Rho family GTPases, preferably Rac GTPases (Rac1, Rac1b, Rac2 and/or Rac3).
