The present study investigates the usability of lignocellulosic kapokfibers as a reinforcement for lightweight composites. Kapok fibers aremodified by dewaxing followed by a silane coupling agent at differentconcentrations. The crystallographic...
An in silico redesign of the secondary quinone electron acceptor (QB) binding pocket of the D1 protein of Photosystem II (PSII) suggested that mutations of the F265 residue would affect...
Several studies highlight the identification of some enzymes with additional abilities, especially those involved in metabolic pathways and/or host defence processes, classified as multitasking proteins. In this context, we report...
: In recent years, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique, designed for microbial pathogen detection, has acquired fundamental importance in the biomedical field, providing rapid and precise responses. However, it...
: The diterpene cafestol represents the most potent cholesterol-elevating compound known in the human diet, being responsible for more than 80% of the effect of coffee on serum lipids, with...
An early-stage diagnosis could significantly improve the prognosis of severe diseases such as Alzheimer’s (AD). The key is to find alternative platforms for the improvement of clinical diagnostic methods. In...
L’Istituto di Cristallografia del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche e l’Istituto Nazionale di Gastroenterologia, IRCCS “Saverio de Bellis” di Castellana Grotte intendono avviare una collaborazione strategica finalizzata allo sviluppo di studi...
