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 ...
Supramolecular insight into the substitution of sulfur by selenium, based on crystal structures, quantum-chemical calculations and biosystem recognition
(International Union of Crystallography, 2020)
Statistical analysis of data from crystal structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has shown that S and Se atoms display a similar tendency towards specific types of interaction if they are part ...
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 ...
Dynamic stability of active sites in hydr(oxy)oxides for the oxygen evolution reaction
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)
The poor activity and stability of electrode materials for the oxygen evolution reaction are the main bottlenecks in the water-splitting reaction for H2 production. Here, by studying the activity–stability trends for the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Enantioselective Organocatalytic Enamine C−H Oxidation/Diels‐ Alder Reaction
(Wiley, 2019)
α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes have been traditionally used in LUMO lowering asymmetric aminocatalysis (iminium catalysis), while the use of saturated aldehydes as substrates in this type of catalysis has been elusive, until ...
The effect of ceria and zirconia nanoparticles on the corrosion behaviour of cataphoretic epoxy coatings on AA6060 alloy
(Elsevier, 2019)
In this work an attempt was made to produce epoxy coating doped with ceria (CeO2) and/or zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles, in single step electrophoretric deposition process. Deposition was carried out on AA6060 cataforetically ...
