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 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 keywordsHydrophobic, 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 accessIn the abstractModel Classification for Predicting the Post-Translational Modification (PTM) Glycosylation in Sequence O Using an Extreme Gradient Boosting AlgorithmDamayanti, Sutyarso et al.Post Translational Modification (PTM) is an important mechanism involved in regulating protein function. Post-translational modification refers to the addition of covalent and enzymatic modifications of proteins in protein biosynthesis, which has an important role in modifying protein function and regulating gene expression. One of the post-translational modifications is glycosylation. Glycosylation is the addition of a sugar group to a protein … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 7 · 29 Apr 2024 · 5,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation of Antimicrobial Collagen Casings with High Mechanical PropertiesZhike Xie, Shuyan Yu, Ming He et al.Tea Polyphenols (TP) has received much attention for their excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Some additives (such as sodium alginate and sodium pyrophosphate) have good hydrophobicity which have influence on the mechanical properties of food. The effect of TP on the antibacterial activity of collagen casing was investigated, the effect of addition of TP, sodium pyrophosphate and sodium alginate on … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 2 Sep 2020 · 6,627 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Insulin Modulation of Escherichia coli Adherence and ChemotaxisKarolina Klosowska, Balbina J. PlotkinEscherichia coli exhibited increased hydrophobicity and mannose-resistant epithelial cell adherence after growth in the presence of human insulin (2 μU mL-1 or 200 μUmL-1 insulin, respectively) with glucose (100 mg dL-1). Capsule production and hemagglutination were unaffected by insulin and glucose. Chemotactic attraction to glucose as compared to insulin or glucose alone was enhanced by the presence of insulin. Insulin … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,104 accessesView PDFCite
