Atom counting method for determining elemental composition of viruses and its applications in biothermodynamics and environmental science
(Elsevier, 2022)
Quantitative physicochemical perspective on life processes has been a great asset, in bioengineering and biotechnology. The quantitative physicochemical approach can be applied to practically all organisms, including ...
Characterization of microporous PP/PE nonwoven mats surface modified by deposition of electrospun nanofibers
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)
This study investigates the effect of surface modification by deposition of electrospun fibers on properties and performance of three different microporous polypropylene/polyethylene (PP/PE) commercial nonwoven membrane ...
Polymer‐lipid matrice based on carboxymethyl cellulose/solagum and liposomes for controlled release of folic acid
(Wiley, 2023)
Liposome-encapsulated folic acid was incorporated into the films made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (2 mas%) and a mixture of carboxymethyl cellulose and solagum (9:1 w/w) using the film-forming cast solution ...
COVID infection in 4 steps: Thermodynamic considerations reveal how viral mucosal diffusion, target receptor affinity and furin cleavage act in concert to drive the nature and degree of infection in human COVID-19 disease
(Elsevier, 2023)
We have developed a mechanistic model of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV infection, exploring the relationship between the viral diffusion in the mucosa and viral affinity for the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) target. ...
Rare-Earth/Manganese Oxide-Based Composites Materials for Electrochemical Oxygen Reduction Reaction
(MDPI AG, 2022)
The main objective of this research was a systematic development of advanced micro/nanostructured materials based on the most used metal-oxides for ORR and metal-oxides with an extremely low-loading of Pt for comparison. ...
Formulation and characterization of novel liposomes containing histidine for encapsulation of a poorly soluble vitamin
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this study, development of folic acid-loaded liposomes using a basic amino acid, histidine as a solubilizing agent for folic acid was presented, which tackled the poor solubility of this vitamin. The effect of the ...
Modification of hydrophilic polymer network to design a carrier for a poorly water-soluble substance
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2020)
pH sensitive, nontoxic, and biocompatible poly(methacrylic) acid (PMAA) based soft networks have been extensively used in the design of systems for targeted drug delivery. Still, their highly hydrophilic nature limits their ...
Application of Ni(II)-alumina Composites for Electrocatalytic Reduction of 4-nitrophenol
(International Institute for the Science of Sintering, Belgrade, 2020)
Nickel-alumina composites with various content of nickel were synthetized by sol-gel method. The characterization of samples was performed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy using ...
Synthesis and preliminary screening for the biological activity of some steroidal Δ4-unsaturated semicarbazone derivatives
(Elsevier, 2019)
Eleven new steroidal mono- and bis(semicarbazones) 2a–e, 4d and 3a–e have been prepared starting from various 3-oxo-α,β-unsaturated steroids. Mono-semicarbazones 2a–e were further subjected to ethyl chloroacetate in boiling ...
Heterologous Expression and Partial Characterization of a Putative Opine Dehydrogenase from a Metagenomic Sequence of Desulfohalobium retbaense
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2023)
The aim of this research was to prove the function of the putative opine dehydrogenase from Desulfohalobium retbaense and to characterize the enzyme in terms of functional and kinetic parameters. A putative opine dehydrogenase ...
