Antifungal screening and in silico mechanistic studies of an in-house azole library
Sarı, Suat; Kart, Didem; Sabuncuoğlu, Suna; Doğan, İnci Selin; Özdemir, Zeynep; Bozbey, İrem; Gencel, Melis; Eşsiz, Şebnem; Reynisson, Jóhannes; Karakurt, Arzu; Saraç, Selma; Dalkara, Sevim (2019)Systemic Candida infections pose a serious public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. C. albicans is the major pathogen identified in candidiasis; however, non-albicans Candida spp. with antifungal resistance ... -
Correlated conformational dynamics of the human GluN1-GluN2A type N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor
Esşiz, Şebnem; Gencel, Melis; Aktolun, Muhammed; Demir, Ayhan; Carpenter, Timothy S.; Servili, Burak (SPRINGER, 2021)N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are glutamate-gated ion channels found in the nerve cell membranes. As a result of overexcitation of NMDARs, neuronal death occurs and may lead to diseases such as epilepsy, stroke, ... -
Discovery of new azoles with potent activity against Candida spp. and Candida albicans biofilms through virtual screening
Karakurt, Arzu; Kart, Didem; Öztürk, Naile; Kaynak, F. Betül; Gencel, Melis; Taşkor, Gülce; Karakurt, Arzu; Saraç, Selma; Eşsiz, Şebnem; Dalkara, Sevim (Elsevier, 2020)Systemic candidiasis is a rampant bloodstream infection ofCandidaspp. andC. albicansis the majorpathogen isolated from infected humans. Azoles, the most common class of antifungals which sufferfrom increasing resistance, ... -
Discovery of new azoles with potent activity against Candida spp. and Candida albicans biofilms through virtual screening
Sari, Suat; Kart, Didem; Ozturk, Naile; Kaynak, F. Betul; Gencel, Melis; Taskor, Gulce; Karakurt, Arzu (Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2019)Systemic candidiasis is a rampant bloodstream infection of Candida spp. and C. albicans is the major pathogen isolated from infected humans. Azoles, the most common class of antifungals which suffer from increasing resistance, ... -
Structural studies of nmda receptor and xanthine oxidase enzyme
Gencel, Melis (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019)The first part of the thesis deals with the structural studies of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptors (NMDARs). NMDARs are ionotropic ligand-gated receptors that have pivotal roles at the central neuronal system but, hyperactivity ... -
Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of bis-chalcone derivatives as xanthine oxidase inhibitors and anticancer agents
Burmaoğlu, Serdar; Özcan, Şeyda; Balcıoğlu, Sevgi; Gencel, Melis; Noma, Samir Abbas Ali; Eşsiz, Şebnem; Ateş, Burhan; Algül, Öztekin (Elsevier, 2019)In this study, a series of B-ring fluoro substituted bis-chalcone derivatives were synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation reactions and evaluated for their ability to inhibit xanthine oxidase (XO) and growth inhibitory ...
