Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn-silico Rational Protein Engineering and Design Approach to Improve Thermostability of a Haloalkane Dehalogenase EnzymeRaghunath Satpathy, V. Badireenath Konkimalla, Jagnyeswar RathaThermostability of enzymes is a major prerequisite for use in industrial enzymology. There are as such no simple general principles for achieving thermostability in case of enzymes as many factors are required to fulfil for different enzymes. The present study describes computational methods to design thermostable haloalkane dehalogenase enzyme using the crystal structure available Protein Data Bank (PDB ID: 1EDE). … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Oct 2015 · 8,279 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSorption of Phenols: Influence of Groundwater pH and of Soil Organic Carbon ContentSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiProblem statement: Physical and chemical properties of soil, groundwater and pollutants deeply influenced the type and the strength of sorption phenomena involving hydrophobic organic contaminants: Soil fraction of organic carbon (foc) and cation exchange capacity, groundwater pH and pollutants hydrophobicity were with undoubtedly the predominant issues. Approach: In this study an experimental study of the sorption of phenol and 2-nitrophenol … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,007 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFrom Structural Colors to Super-Hydrophobicity and Achromatic Transparent Protective Coatings: Ion Plating Plasma Assisted TiO2 and SiO2 Nano-Film DepositionRaffaella Aversa, Valeria Perrotta, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu et al.The implementation of the Ion Plating Plasma Assisted technology in the area of surface functionalization for structural color and relic preservation applications is presented. Interferometric structural colors on irregular bumped Titanium surfaces and transparent and achromatic nano films on ancient ceramic artifact have been investigated. Titanium metal and ceramic supports have been utilized for the surface functionalization tests: A metallic … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2016 · 8,459 accessesView PDF Cite
