Standard Thermodynamic Properties, Biosynthesis Rates, and the Driving Force of Growth of Five Agricultural Plants
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Elemental composition of Gossypium hirsutum L. (cotton), Oryza sativa L. (Asian rice), Phaseolus vulgaris L. (common bean), Saccharum spp. L. (sugarcane), and Zea mays L. (corn) was used to calculate their empirical formulas ...
Biothermodynamics of Viruses from Absolute Zero (1950) to Virothermodynamics (2022)
(MDPI, 2022)
Biothermodynamics of viruses is among the youngest but most rapidly developing scientific disciplines. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it closely followed the results published by molecular biologists. Empirical formulas ...
Construction and calibration of a portable rain simulator designed for the in situ research of soil resistance to erosion
(Prague : Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2022)
Land degradation caused by erosion processes is a widespread global problem. Rain simulators are one of the tools often used to determine the resistance of soils to erosion processes. The aim of this publication is to ...
Food Antioxidants and Their Interaction with Human Proteins
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Common to all biological systems and living organisms are molecular interactions, which
may lead to specific physiological events. Most often, a cascade of events occurs, establishing an
equilibrium between possibly ...
Closer look into HIV-host interactions: Standard Gibbs energy of binding of the gp120 antigen of HIV-1 to the CD4 receptor and monoclonal antibodies
(Bektas Tepe Publications, 2023)
HIV-1, like other viruses, represents an open thermodynamic system. This is why it is important to know its thermodynamic properties. Virus-host interactions are performed at the membrane as antigen-receptor binding. ...
Ligand binding to fibrinogen influences its structure and function
(University of Novi Sad - Faculty of Sciences, Department of Biology, 2021)
Fibrinogen is a plasma protein that is highly susceptible to oxidation. Because of this chemical modification, fibrinogen acquires thrombogenic characteristics under different pathophysiological conditions. Increased ...
Anisotropic grossular-andradite garnets: Evidence of two stage skarn evolution from Rudnik, Central Serbia
(Earth Science Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2021)
This paper presents LA-ICP-MS data for garnets from the Rudnik skarn deposit (Serbia), which range from Grs45–58Adr40–52Alm2–3 in the core and Adr70–97Grs2–29Sps1 in the rim displaying anisotropy and zoning. In spite of ...
Thermodynamic insight into viral infections 2: empirical formulas, molecular compositions and thermodynamic properties of SARS, MERS and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) viruses
(Elsevier, 2020)
The current situation with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic indicates the importance of new approaches in vaccine design. In order to design new attenuated vaccines, to decrease virulence of virus wild types, it is important to ...
Thermodynamic properties of human tissues
(Society of Thermal Engineers of Serbia, 2020)
This paper reports empirical formulas, enthalpies of formation, molar entropies, Gibbs energies of formation, and molar heat capacities at 25°C and 37°C for human soft tissues. The results show that Gibbs energy, except ...
A thermodynamic insight into viral infections: do viruses in a lytic cycle hijack cell metabolism due to their low Gibbs energy?
(Elsevier, 2020)
After adsorption and penetration, a virus hijacks a cell's metabolic machinery and uses it as a medium for its reproduction and growth through multiplication. Growth is competitive, since the same precursors and machinery ...
