Inhibitors and probes targeting endo-glycosidases
The chemical synthesis of inhibitors and probes targeting endo-glycosidases.
-
Understanding functional dynamics and conformational stability of beta-glycosidases
Due to their central physiological roles in living organisms, retaining beta-glycosidases have been the subject of tremendous research efforts to examine their structure/function relation using numerous biophysical and biochemical approaches.

Cyclophellitol analogues for profiling of exo- and endo-glycosidases
To this day, all cyclophellitol-based inhibitors and ABPs have been close analogues of their natural substrate counterparts. As a result, these probes showed high selectivity towards their target glycosidases.

Fluorescence Polarization Activity-Based Protein Profiling on Retaining Glycosidases
Glycosidases are important enzymes in the turnover of polysaccharides and glycoconjugates, and are involved in a range of human pathologies including genetic disorders such as Gaucher and Pompe disease, but also in various cancers.

Cyclophellitol and its derivatives: synthesis and application as beta-glycosidase inhibitors
Promotores: Prof.dr. H.S. Overkleeft, Prof.dr. G.A. van der Marel
-
conformational inhibitors and activity-based probes for retaining glycosidases
Glycosidases are essential in fundamental biological processes and are responsible for the degradation of most (oligo)saccharides, glycolipids and glycoproteins.
-
Fundamental and applied biochemical investigations on retaining glycosidases
The studies described in this thesis deal with glycosidases, in particular alpha-galactosidases.
-
carbohydrate-mimetic cyclitols: towards deactivators of inverting glycosidases and glycosyl transferases
Synthetic methodlogy is described, aiding in the synthetic preparation of putative inhibitors of retaining and inverting glycosidases and glycosyl transferases. All constructs are cyclophellitol-based cyclitols.

Inhibitors and activity-based probes for β-D-glucuronidases, heparanases and β-L-arabinofuranosidases
Glycosidases (GHs) are enzymes responsible for the degradation of carbohydrates and play many roles in human health and pathophysiology. Often, abnormal levels of glycosidase activity are markedly linked to human pathologies.

Madouc Bergers made her own enzyme inhibitors for her bachelor’s thesis
For her bachelor’s thesis, Molecular Science and Technology student Madouc Bergers synthesized her own molecule that can inhibit the breakdown of sugars. Although most students do not even manage to make one building block, Madouc made three. Partly because of this, she has been nominated for the Science…
