Oxygen is important for lipid metabolism, being involved in both enzymatic transformations and oxidative reactivity, and is particularly influent when genetic diseases impair the repair machinery of the cells, such...
Ctr1 regulates copper uptake and its intracellular distribution. The first 14 amino acid sequence of the Ctr1 ectodomain Ctr1(1-14) encompasses the characteristic Amino Terminal Cu2+ and Ni2+ binding motif (ATCUN)...
The enantiomeric separation of 15 racemic 4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one (DHP) alkoxycarbonyl esters, some of which proved to be highly active as A(2B) adenosine receptor antagonists, was carried out by HPLC on Chirobiotic(TM)...
The Michaelis-Menten model of enzyme kinetic assumes the free ligand approximation, the steady-state approximation and the rapid equilibrium approximation. Analytical methods to model slow-binding inhibitors by the analysis of initial...
The solvent acidolysis crystallization technique is utilized to grow mixed dimethylammonium/methylammonium lead tribromide (DMA/MAPbBr) crystals reaching the highest dimethylammonium incorporation of 44% while maintaining the 3D cubic perovskite phase. These...
Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, is characterized by the aggregation of amyloid beta protein (A?). The aggregation and toxicity of A? are strongly modulated by metal ions...
APEH is a ubiquitous and cytosolic serine protease belonging to the prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) family, playing a critical role in the processes of degradation of proteins through both exo- and...
Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the main binding phase in Portland cement. The addition of C-S-H nanoparticles as nucleation seeds has successfully been used to accelerate the hydration process and...
Luminescent and photothermic carbon polymer dots (CPDs-PNM), composed of a carbonized core and cross-linked chains of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), were synthetized by a novel, simple, solvent- and reagent-free method. The formation of...
The design of large-scale colloidal quantum dots (QDs) assemblies and the investigation of their interaction with their close environment are of great interest for improving QD-based optoelectronic devices' performances. Understanding...
