• High performance and toxicity assessment of Ta3N5 nanotubes for photoelectrochemical water splitting 

      Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Risbakk, Sanne; Yang, Mingyi; Backe, Paul Hoff; Grandcolas, Mathieu; Bjørås, Magnar; Norby, Truls Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In this work, Co-based cocatalysts are electrodeposited on mesoporous Ta3N5 nanotubes. The electrodeposition time is varied and the optimized photoelectrode reaches a photocurrent density of 6.3 mA/cm2 at 1.23 V vs. SHE, ...
    • Impaired oxidative stress response characterizes HUWE1-promoted X-linked intellectual disability 

      Bosshard, Matthias; Aprigliano, Rossana; Gattiker, Cristina; Palibrk, Vuk; Markkanen, Enni; Backe, Paul Hoff; Pellegrino, Stefania; Raymond, F. Lucy; Froyen, Guy; Altmeyer, Matthias; Bjørås, Magnar; Dianov, Grigory L.; van Loon, Barbara (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Mutations in the HECT, UBA and WWE domain-containing 1 (HUWE1) E3 ubiquitin ligase cause neurodevelopmental disorder X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). HUWE1 regulates essential processes such as genome integrity ...
    • In situ cofactor regeneration enables selective CO2 reduction in a stable and efficient enzymatic photoelectrochemical cell 

      Xu, Kaiqi; Chatzitakis, Athanasios Eleftherios; Backe, Paul Hoff; Ruan, Qiushi; Junwang, Tang; Rise, Frode; Bjørås, Magnar; Norby, Truls Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Mimicking natural photosynthesis by direct photoelectrochemical (PEC) reduction of CO2 to chemicals and fuels requires complex cell assemblies with limitations in selectivity, efficiency, cost, and stability. Here, we ...
    • A novel somatic mutation in GNB2 provides new insights to the pathogenesis of Sturge-Weber syndrome 

      Fjær, Roar; Marciniak, Katarzyna; Sundnes, Olav; Hjorthaug, Hanne; Sheng, Ying; Hammarström, Clara Louise; Sitek, Jan Cezary; Vigeland, Magnus Dehli; Backe, Paul Hoff; Øye, Ane-Marte; Hol, Johanna; Stav-Noraas, Tor Espen; Uchiyama, Yuri; Matsumoto, Naomichi; Comi, Anne; Pevsner, Jonathan; Haraldsen, Guttorm; Selmer, Kaja Kristine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS) is a neurocutaneous disorder characterized by vascular malformations affecting skin, eyes and leptomeninges of the brain, which can lead to glaucoma, seizures and intellectual disability. The ...
    • Novel UCHL1 mutations reveal new insights into ubiquitin processing 

      Rydning, Siri Lynne; Backe, Paul Hoff; Sousa, Mirta; Iqbal, Zafar; Øye, Ane-Marte; Sheng, Ying; Yang, Mingyi; Lin, Xiaolin; Slupphaug, Geir; Nordenmark, Tonje Haug; Vigeland, Magnus Dehli; Bjørås, Magnar; Tallaksen, Chantal; Selmer, Kaja Kristine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Recessive loss of function of the neuronal ubiquitin hydrolase UCHL1 has been implicated in early-onset progressive neurodegeneration (MIM no. 615491), so far only in one family. In this study a second family is characterized, ...
    • Structural basis for substrate and product recognition in human phosphoglucomutase-1 (PGM1) isoform 2, a member of the α-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily 

      Backe, Paul Hoff; Lærdahl, Jon Kristen; Kittelsen, Lene Svendsen; Dalhus, Bjørn; Mørkrid, Lars; Bjørås, Magnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Human phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) is an evolutionary conserved enzyme that belongs to the ubiquitous and ancient α-D-phosphohexomutases, a large enzyme superfamily with members in all three domains of life. PGM1 catalyzes ...
