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 ... -
Computational Analysis of a Zn-Bound Tris(imidazolyl) Calix[6]arene Aqua Complex: Toward Incorporating Second-Coordination Sphere Effects into Carbonic Anhydrase Biomimetics
Koziol, Lucas; Eşsiz, Şebnem; Wong, Sergio E.; Lau, Edmond Y.; Valdez, Carlos A.; Satcher, Joe H. Jr.; Aines, Roger D.; Lightstone, Felice C. (Amer Chemical Soc, 2013)Molecular dynamics simulations and quantum-mechanical calculations were performed to characterize a supra-molecular tris(imidazolyl) calix[6]arene Zn2+ aqua complex as a biomimetic model for the catalyzed hydration of ... -
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, ... -
The neural gamma(2)alpha(1)beta(2)alpha(1)beta(2) gamma amino butyric acid ion channel receptor: structural analysis of the effects of the ivermectin molecule and disulfide bridges
Ayan, Meral; Eşsiz, Şebnem (Springer, 2018)While similar to 30% of the human genome encodes membrane proteins only a handful of structures of membrane proteins have been resolved to high resolution. Here we studied the structure of a member of the Cys-loop ligand ... -
New azole derivatives showing antimicrobial effects and their mechanism of antifungal activity by molecular modeling studies
Doğan, İnci Selin; Saraç, Selma; Sarı, Suat; Kart, Didem; Eşsiz, Şebnem; Vural, İmran; Dalkara, Sevim (Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2017)Azole antifungals are potent inhibitors of fungal lanosterol 14 alpha demethylase (CYP51) and have been used for eradication of systemic candidiasis clinically. Herein we report the design synthesis and biological evaluation ... -
Soman as a wrench in the works of human acetylcholinesterase: Soman induced conformational changes revealed by molecular dynamics simulations
Bennion, Brian J.; Eşsiz, Şebnem; Lau, Edmond Y.; Fattebert, Jean-Luc; Emigh, Aiyana; Lightstone, Felice C. (Amer Chemical Soc, 2014)[Abstract Not Available] -
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 ... -
A Wrench in the Works of Human Acetylcholinesterase: Soman Induced Conformational Changes Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Bennion, Brian J.; Eşsiz, Şebnem; Lau, Edmond Y.; Fattebert, Jean-Luc; Emigh, Aiyana; Lightstone, Felice C. (Public Library Science, 2015)Irreversible inactivation of human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) by organophosphorous pesticides (OPs) and chemical weapon agents (CWA) has severe morbidity and mortality consequences. We present data from quantum ...
