In the context of his work at the University of Salzburg, BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT patent attorney Dr. Jan B. Krauß has published an article as co-author on the topic “Drug Development for Target Ribosomal Protein rpL35/uL29 for Repair of LAMB3R635X in Rare Skin Disease Epidermolysis Bullosa”.

In the scientific paper, atazanavir and artesunate are identified as candidate compounds that bind to the ribosomal protein rpL35.
