Multivalent protein interactors are an attractive modality for probing protein function and exploring novel pharmaceutical strategies. The throughput and precision of state-of-the-art methodologies ...and workflows for the effective development of multivalent binders is currently limited by surface immobilization, fluorescent labelling and sample consumption. Using the gephyrin protein, the master regulator of the inhibitory synapse, as benchmark, we exemplify the application of Fluorescence proximity sensing (FPS) for the systematic kinetic and thermodynamic optimization of multivalent peptide architectures. High throughput synthesis of +100 peptides with varying combinatorial dimeric, tetrameric, and octameric architectures combined with direct FPS measurements resolved on-rates, off-rates, and dissociation constants with high accuracy and low sample consumption compared to three complementary technologies. The dataset and its machine learning-based analysis deciphered the relationship of specific architectural features and binding kinetics and thereby identified binders with unprecedented protein inhibition capacity; thus, highlighting the value of FPS for the rational engineering of multivalent inhibitors.
Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a significant cause of liver related morbidity and mortality worldwide. The role of genetics in the host response to hepatitis C virus is not elucidated. Genetic ...variations in
gene are the most common cause of hereditary unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia-Gilbert syndrome. This is the first study investigating the association of
TA repeats promoter genotypes with the degree of liver injury, viremia and biochemical markers in CHC patients with advanced liver injury and late virological relapse.
Genetic testing of
TA repeats promoter genotypes was performed in 42 CHC patients with advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis who achieved sustained virological response and 42 healthy blood donors. CHC patients were evaluated for clinical findings, laboratory tests and imaging.
*28 genotype (7/7 TA repeats) was observed in 23.8% CHC patients and 16.7% healthy controls with no significant difference in genotype frequencies (p=0.49). Pretreatment levels of ferritin and bilirubin were associated with the presence of
genotype, indicating its potential as a predictive marker. However, in our study, there was no correlation of
genotype with the degree of fibrosis or viremia. During antiviral treatment, dose reductions and treatment interruptions, as well as treatment success and occurrence of late virological relapse were not related to the presence of
genotype in CHC patients with severe liver injury.
Frequencies of
genotype are high in both Serbian CHC patients and healthy subjects. The presence of
genotype was not associated with ribavirin-related adverse effects and had no effect on long term outcome in CHC patients.

Entrepreneurship within organisation is a key prerequisite of entrepreneurial and economic growth. Factors of organisational support such as financial rewards are important for entrepreneurial ...activity within the framework of existing organisational structures. Business performance and its organisational prerequisites are in a feedback loop. Frequently financial results are a determinant of financial rewards and they are a strong motivation for entrepreneurial activities of employees upon which the further entrepreneurial growth and development depend. In order to achieve its sustainability, market success should be observed through multiple, financial and non-financial indicators and absolute and relative measures, especially if business result is the basis for determining organisational incentives of employees' entrepreneurial activity. The aim of this paper is to examine the perception of management in Croatia regarding financial rewards as a key factor of organisational incentives within organisations and related tax instruments as a key determinant of their implementation. A structured questionnaire was used with this aim to test 62 small and medium-sized enterprises in Croatia with a pronounced entrepreneurial activity of employees. The research led to a conclusion that in Croatian companies the importance of financial rewards as a key factor in supporting entrepreneurial activities within organisation is not sufficiently recognised. In the process of financial rewarding, individual rewards are used exclusively, which were proven to be the least efficient financial instrument to the entrepreneurial activity of employees. The surveyed managers confirmed the assumption that the tax system has a significant impact on the choice ofform and sum of employees' financial rewards used, but it does not provide the necessary incentive and support in this sense.
Executors of entrepreneurial processes are individuals who undertake entrepreneurial activities in interaction with microenvironment and macroenvironment factors. The entrepreneurial environment ...affects the entrepreneurial activity executors and thus the type of entrepreneurial activity. Therefore, entrepreneurship is observed at the individual and organizational level, taking into account the national and organizational context of entrepreneurial activity. It has been established that in developed economies, entrepreneurship within the organization is a substitute for lower rates of undertaking new entrepreneurial ventures, and in developing countries it represents a greater possibility of surviving initial entrepreneurial activities. Employee entrepreneurial activity implies a novelty for which it is necessary to timely identify and seize opportunities. Opportunity-based entrepreneurship is based on the knowledge necessary to identify and gather the necessary information. Entrepreneurial knowledge and skills place the available information in a unique entrepreneurial context that represents an opportunity for entrepreneurial action. Entrepreneurship education is considered an important factor in organizational support for entrepreneurial activity within an organization. Tax relief, as an incentive for investment in entrepreneurship education of employees, enables the acquisition of specific knowledge, entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial orientation necessary to undertake entrepreneurial activity for the needs of the organization.
The measured above average rate of the Entrepreneurial Employee Activity (EEA) is a hidden and unused component of the entrepreneurial potential of Croatia. Since EEA refers to innovative activity ...aimed at development of new products/services or establishing new business units, it can be used to stimulate the necessary development of new products in corporate structures. EEA stimulates growth and profitability of companies and allows for positive macroeconomic outcomes. It has proven to be particularly favourable for the economic growth and development of countries in transition. The aim of this paper is to research impacts of macro and micro business ecosystems on EEA in order to stimulate it and in such a way contribute to innovation and sustainable competitiveness of Croatian economy. The interconnection of micro and macro business ecosystems and EEA was analysed in a qualitative research (interviews and focus groups) using a sample of sixteen businesses, eight of which from IT industry and eight from processing industry. It was established that business ecosystems differ depending on the type of industry and that they shape organisational factors which influence the EEA. Based on the research results it is assumed that businesses can stimulate entrepreneurial activity of employees by creating a suitable organisational structure and culture and implementing a business policy adapted to the macro ecosystem. Based on this assumption, micro level proposals for stimulating EEA are presented.
