Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdsorption Study of Several Hydrophobic Organic Contaminants on an Aquifer MaterialBarbara Ruffino, Mariachiara ZanettiProblem statement: Aim of the present research was to determine coefficient of partition KD between soil and groundwater for five hydrophobic organic pollutants (benzene, chlorobenzene, trichloroethylene-TCE, perchloroethylene-PCE and toluene) in an Italian aquifer material characterized by a low organic carbon content (fOC = 0.00262) by means of laboratory batch tests. Initial aqueous concentrations (quite different among the five compounds) were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHydrophobic, Polar and Hydrogen Bonding Based Drug-Receptor Interaction of TetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinonesV.K. Sahu, A.K.R. Khan, R.K. Singh, P.P. SinghAnti-HIV drug discovery has been increasingly focusing on HIV-1-RT (reverse transcriptase) as a potential therapeutic target. Tetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinone (TIBO) belongs to non-nucleoside group of reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). A computational chemistry study has been performed on a series of tetrahydroimidazo-benzodiazepinones as HIV-1-NNRT inhibitors. Problem statement: In order to search out new drug of desired activity from the lead compounds, there was … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,837 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFrom 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of NaCl on the Stability of Ab3 Lipase from Sphingobacterium sp. that Co-Expressed with LEA K Using In silico ApproachIbrahim Muhammad et al.This study explores how sodium chloride (NaCl) influences the binding affinity and stability of the Ab3 lipase-LEA K complex when interacting with olive oil, using molecular docking techniques. The docking simulations, conducted with AutoDock Vina, reveal that the presence of NaCl significantly enhances the binding affinity of the enzyme-substrate complex, increasing it from-6.55 kcal/mol in the absence of salt to-7.81 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2025 · 5,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRecent Progress in Self-Cleaning Materials with Different Suitable ApplicationsSiavash Hosseinpour Chermahini, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Saeid Eslamian, Vijay P. SinghSelf-cleaning properties have received significant attention for the importance of their potential. Coatings at Nano-scales offer possibilities of using materials for self-cleaning surfaces. Recent efforts have begun to focus on the kinds of materials including metals, semiconductors and polymers. Such materials can have enormous potential in only a few applications. Moreover, the production of these materials requires high costs with … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2018 · 9,132 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDEVELOPMENT OF A BACTERIAL CULTURE SYSTEM USING A PAPER PLATFORM TO ACCOMMODATE MEDIA AND AN INK-JET PRINTING TO DISPENSE BACTERIATithimanan Srimongkon, Takuya Ishida, Kiyohiko Igarashi, Toshiharu EnomaeGenerally, bacterial culture is performed manually and is subject to error. Here, we created a novel, well-ordered and reliable system for dispensing bacteria microscopically by using paper and an ink-jet printer for controlled patterning. For paper to accommodate a culture medium, hydrophobic/hydrophilic patterns were incorporated onto the paper by immersing paper in a toluene solution of polystyrene and drying for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2014 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDielectric Properties of Collagen on Plasma Modified Polyvinylidene FluorideR. M. Dahan, S. I. Ismail, Famiza Latif et al.Problem statement: The attachment of biopolymers such as collagen on inert polymeric template created great challenge due to hydrophobic nature of polymeric material. The modification of PVDF for improved adhesion and introduction of specific functionalities have been widely recognized in various industrial applications. Typical methods for modifying polymer surface such as chemical etching and UV irradiation are not favorable as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh Incidence of Disorder-Promoting Amino Acids in the Amino Terminus of Mature Proteins in Bacillus subtilisGuangqiang Wang, Yining Dong, Haiqin Chen et al.Problem statement: Exported polypeptides are usually synthesized as preproteins which are composed with mature domains and the signal peptides. The foreign proteins are usually inefficiently secreted by the aid of signal peptides. Although we know that the mature protein played an important role in the protein export process, we do not know what properties of the mature domains are critical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 2 Feb 2012 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite
