Apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, have specific adaptations that enable
invasion and exit from the host cell. Owing to the phylogenetic distance between …

The cytoskeletal protein actin is highly abundant and conserved in eukaryotic cells. It occurs
in two different states‐ the globular (G‐actin) form, which can polymerise into the …

10.7554/eLife.49030.001 In addition to its role in erythrocyte invasion, Plasmodium
falciparum actin is implicated in endocytosis, cytokinesis and inheritance of the chloroplast-like …

The obligate intracellular parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium spp. invade host
cells by injecting a protein complex into the membrane of the targeted cell that bridges the two …

Apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii, possess unique organelles,
cytoskeletal structures, signalling cascades, replicate by internal budding within a specialised …

Pathogenic obligate-intracellular apicomplexan parasites possess an essential chloroplast-like
organelle called the apicoplast that undergoes division and segregation during …

… I, Johannes Felix Stortz hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis and performed
all of the work presented, with the following exceptions highlighted below. No part of this …

Experimental chefs and researchers have limited options when structuring lipid-based materials
present in foods to include: liquids, solids, foams or emulsions. However, the application …

Mesoporous oxide films are attractive frameworks in technological areas such as catalysis,
sensing, environmental protection, and photovoltaics. Herein, we used fluorescence …

Correlated ab initio wave function calculations using MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ model chemistry
have been performed for three test sets of gas phase saccharide conformations to provide …
