Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: after finalizing the experiments, three of the authors left the ZNP and are currently employed by commercial companies: Servier Deutschland GmbH (SE), MFD Diagnostic GmbH (MM), and BASF (NP). This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
