Proton transfer reactions are of crucial interest for the investigation of proteins. We have investigated the accuracy of commonly used quantum chemical methods for the description of proton transfer reactions in different environments (gas phase, COSMO, QM/MM) using the proton transfer between the
We present a model to calculate the free energies of solvation of small organic compounds as well as large biomolecules. This model is based on a generalized Born (GB) model and a self-consistent charge-density functional theory-based tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) method with the nonelectrostatic
Hepatitis C currently infects more than 170 million people around the world, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The current standard of care for HCV infection, including one of the two protease inhibitors, telaprevir or boceprevir, for 12-32 weeks, along with pegylated interferon
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapeutics is amidst a revolution. With the recent approval of sofosbuvir (Sovaldi) and simeprevir (Olysio), clinicians and patients started to recognize that for the first time in the history, hepatitis C can be cured in a majority of patients without interferon. These new
Various situations encountered by a clinician during the daily routine including surgical periodontitis therapy, dental implant insertion, or tooth extraction involve the contact of saliva with the jaw bone. However, there are only sparse data concerning the influence of saliva on bone cells. Saliva
Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with cirrhosis are historically a difficult-to-treat population and are at risk of hepatic decompensation. In the phase 2 COSMOS study that evaluated simeprevir (HCV NS3/4A protease inhibitor) + sofosbuvir (HCV nucleotide analogue NS5B polymerase inhibitor)
