Phenol oxidases and peroxidases in the enzyme pools of the heathland soils and effects of the climate change on the activities of these soil enzymes Hasselt University
Green Synthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide from alternative sources Using innovative Photocatalysts. University of Antwerp
Membrane permeation and protein targets of peroxisome-derived hydrogen peroxide KU Leuven
Peroxisomes have the intrinsic ability to mediate and modulate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‐driven signaling events. Unfortunately, the mechanisms and functional consequences of peroxisomal H2O2 (dys)regulation remain far from understood. This project is intended to address this gap. Specifically, by employing a unique and powerful cell model that can be used to selectively generate H2O2 inside peroxisomes, we will search for proteins that ...
Framing a genetic network for hydrogen peroxide signal transduction in plants Ghent University
Abiotic stresses like drought and temperature stresses are the major causes of yield loss in cultivated crops. An important issue during these stresses is the induction of photorespiration and subsequent oxidative stress. Both processes negatively affect performance and final yield of plants. This project aims to identify mutations in the Arabidopsis genome that are able to decrease photorespiratory activities or block oxidative stress ...
Investigation of the effect of metal ions and mediators on the delignification selectivity during pretreatment of poplar wood by Phanerochaete chrysosporium. University of Antwerp
Zebrafish embryos to elucidate the role of thyroid hormones in vertebrate embryonic development. University of Antwerp
Advancing the zebrafish embryo as a model system in epigenomics – a study on the importance of DNA methylation dynamics in teratogenicity University of Antwerp
Development of new methodes for the slective immobilisation of redox enzymes at electrodes Ghent University
The immobilisation of proteins at electrodes is one of the most recent developments in bio-electrochemistry. The electric contact between biomolecule and electrode is of fundamental interest in the study of redoxenzymes and the development of biosensors. The aim of the project ist he development of place specific coupling techniques for the immobilisation of Rhodobacter caspulatus cytochroom c peroxidase at electrodes.
