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 ...
Toxicity investigation of CeO2 nanoparticles coated with glucose and exopolysaccharides levan and pullulan on the bacterium Vibrio fischeri and aquatic organisms Daphnia magna and Danio rerio
(Elsevier, 2021)
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) have widespread applications, but they can be hazardous to the environment. Some reports indicate the toxic effect of nCeO2 on tested animals, but literature data are mainly contradictory. ...
Characterisation of the binding of dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid to fibrinogen and the effects on fibrinogen oxidation and fibrin formation
(Elsevier, 2020)
A reduced form of the alpha-lipoic acid, dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid (DHLA) is a potent, naturally occurring antioxidant which can be consumed as food constituent or as supplement at doses up to 600 mg/day. DHLA has inhibitory ...
Polyurethane networks based on polycaprolactone and hyperbranched polyester: Structural, thermal and mechanical investigation
(Elsevier, 2019)
A series of environmentally friendly polyurethane (PU) networks based on polycaprolactone as soft segment (SS) and Boltorn® aliphatic hyperbranched polyester of the second pseudo generation as crosslinking agent was prepared ...
Activation of Oxone® with plasma deposited mixed cobalt and alumina oxide for the dye degradation
(Elsevier, 2020)
The aim of this work is to examine the possibility of the formation of cobalt doped Al2O3 coatings on aluminum substrate by plasma electrolytic oxidation process (PEO) and application of the obtained material as catalyst ...
Novel non-enzymatic glucose sensing material based on pillared clay modified with cobalt
(Elsevier, 2019)
Cobalt oxide supported on pillared clay was synthesized and used as modifier of carbon paste electrode. Cyclic Voltammetry and Impedance Spectroscopy were employed to evaluate the performance of investigated electrode in ...
Carbohydrate – Protein aromatic ring interactions beyond CH/π interactions: A Protein Data Bank survey and quantum chemical calculations
(Elsevier, 2020)
The geometries of the contacts between monosaccharides and aromatic rings of amino acids found in X-ray crystallography structures, in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), were analyzed, while the energies of the interactions were ...
Absorption and fluorescence spectral properties of azo dyes based on 3-amido-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridone: Solvent and substituent effects
(Elsevier, 2020)
A series of nine 5-(4-substituted phenylazo)-3-amido-6-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pyridones were synthesized and characterized by FT–IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV–Vis, and PL spectroscopy. Photophysical properties of the dyes were examined ...
Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity of Flavonoid and Saponin Derivatives from Atriplex tatarica against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019)
A new flavonoid glucoside derivative, patuletin 3-O-(2-O-feruloyl)-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-Dglucopyranoside, named atriplexin IV (1), and three new triterpenoid saponin derivatives, two sulfonylated, β-Dglucopyran ...
In vitro hypoglycemic, antioxidant and antineurodegenerative activity of chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) leaves
(Elsevier, 2020)
Chokeberries (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliot have recently become one of the most popular and widely used berry fruits, and there are numerous studies dealing with the investigation of their chemical composition and ...
