Understanding the metal ion-protein interactions is crucial in transport, accumulation, and excretion of metals. Furthermore, it seems to be highly important to investigate the role of such complexes in many...
The major cause of bacterial resistance to ?-lactams is the production of hydrolytic ?-lac-tamase enzymes. Nowadays, the combination of ?-lactam antibiotics with ?-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) is the main strategy for...
The scientific interest toward the structural, luminescence, and dielectric properties of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) materials, in particular, the doped TCP-based compounds, is mainly due to their biocompatibility and bioactivity behavior...
Anionic complexes having vapochromic behavior are investigated: [K(H2O)][M(ppy)(CN)2], [K(H2O)][M(bzq)(CN)2], and [Li(H2O)n][Pt(bzq)(CN)2], where ppy = 2-phenylpyridinate, bzq = 7,8-benzoquinolate, and M = Pt(II) or Pd(II). These hydrated potassium/lithium salts exhibit a...
Non-vesicular lipid transfer at ER and plasma membrane (PM) contact sites (CS) is crucial for the maintenance of membrane lipid homeostasis. Extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) play a central role in this...
Protein aggregation is suggested as a reversible, wide-spread physiological process used by cells to regulate their growth and adapt to different stress conditions. Nucleophosmin 1(NPM1) protein is an abundant multifunctional...
As mitochondria are vulnerable to oxidative damage and represent the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), they are considered key tuners of ROS metabolism and buffering, whose dysfunction can...
The high demand of hospitalization in the intensive care units (ICUs) during the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak brought out the critical issues of the limited capacity of the...
In this paper, we provide an in-depth electrochemical characterization of a label-free impedimetric immunosensor for rapid detection of ochratoxin A. The sensor was based on a carbodiimide-mediated amide coupling reaction...
Diseases like widespread diabetes or rare galactosemia may lead to high sugar concentrations in the human body, thereby promoting the formation of glycoconjugates. Glycation of collagen, i.e. the formation of...
