Role of aromatic amino acids in amyloid self-assembly
(Elsevier, 2020)
Amyloids are proteins of a cross-β structure found as deposits in several diseases and also in normal tissues (nails, spider net, silk). Aromatic amino acids are frequently found in amyloid deposits. Although they are not ...
Binding of metal ions and water molecules to nucleic acid bases: The influence of water molecule coordination to a metal ion on water–nucleic acid base hydrogen bonds
(International Union of Crystallography, 2019)
The interactions of nucleic acid bases with non-coordinated and coordinated water molecules were studied by analyzing data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and by quantum chemical calculations. The analysis of the data in ...
Unraveling the anti-virulence potential and antifungal efficacy of 5-aminotetrazoles using the zebrafish model of disseminated candidiasis
(Elsevier, 2022)
Candida albicans remains the main causal agent of candidiasis, the most common fungal infection with disturbingly high mortality rates worldwide. The limited diversity and efficacy of clinical antifungal drugs, exacerbated ...
Gamma irradiation of graphene quantum dots with ethylenediamine: Antioxidant for ion sensing
(Elsevier, 2020)
Due to the low consumption of chemicals, the absence of toxic residual side products, the procedure simplicity and time-saving aspects, gamma irradiation offers advantages over the classical chemical protocols. We successfully ...
Significantly improved stabilization of glycoside hydrolases important in food industry by immobilization onto appropriately modified beidellite
(Elsevier, 2024)
Three glycoside hydrolases (α-amylase, xylanase and pullulanase) were immobilized on low-cost, environmentally friendly, easily modified clay rich in beidellite. Modifications included common procedures: Na-exchange, acid ...
Design of an ethidium bromide control circuit supported by deep theoretical insight
(Elsevier, 2023)
We have set-up an electrochemical advanced oxidation process for ethidium bromide (1), based on the Eu-doped MnWO4 (Eu:MnWO4), obtained through a template-driven synthesis, along with developing a suitable monitoring method. ...
Degradation of three typical hydroxamic acids collectors via UVA-B activated H2O2 and persulfate: Kinetics, transformation pathway, DFT calculation and toxicity evaluation
(Elsevier, 2023)
This work systematically studied the kinetics and mechanism of degradation of salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA), benzhydroxamic acid (BHA) and N-hydroxyphthalimide (NOP) by UVA-B/H2O2 and UVA-B/peroxodisulfate (PDS). UVA-B ...
Kinetic and thermodynamic compensation phenomena in C3 and C4 energy crops pyrolysis: Implications on reaction mechanisms and product distributions
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
This work provides insight into possibilities of maximum utilization of C3-C4 energy crops for thermo-chemical conversion (slow pyrolysis) into high value biochemicals, platform chemicals, drop-in fuels and combustible ...
Nano-size cobalt-doped cerium oxide particles embedded into graphitic carbon nitride for enhanced electrochemical sensing of insecticide fenitrothion in environmental samples: An experimental study with the theoretical elucidation of redox events
(Elsevier, 2024)
In the present work, a nanocomposite, based on embedding Co-doped CeO2 nanoparticles into graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), was applied to functionalize commercial glassy carbon paste. This is the first application of the ...
Study of the anticancer potential of Cd complexes of selenazoyl-hydrazones and their sulfur isosters
(Elsevier, 2022)
The biological activity of Cd compounds has been investigated scarce since Cd has been recognized as a human carcinogen. However, the toxicity of cadmium is comparable to the toxicity of noble metals such as Pt and Pd. The ...
