Amyloid-like fibrils from a diphenylalanine capped with an aromatic fluorenyl
(2018-11-19)
Article
Open AccessThe self-assembly behavior of a diphenylalanine amphiphile blocked at the C-terminus with a 9-fluorenylmethyl ester and stabilized at the N-terminus with a trifluoroacetate (TFA) anion, TFA·FF-OFm, has been examined. At ... -
Computer simulations on oxidative stress-induced reactions in SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein: a multi-scale approach
(Springer Nature, 2022-01-01)
Article
Open AccessOxidative stress, which occurs when an organism is exposed to an adverse stimulus that results in a misbalance of antioxidant and pro-oxidants species, is the common denominator of diseases considered as a risk factor for ... -
IgG1-b12-HIV-gp120 interface in solution: a computational study
(2021-12-31)
Article
Open AccessThe use of broadly neutralizing antibodies against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been shown to be a promising therapeutic modality in the prevention of HIV infection. Understanding the b12–gp120 binding ... -
In silico antibody engineering for SARS-CoV-2 detection
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
Article
Open AccessEngineered immunoglobulin-G molecules (IgGs) are of wide interest for the development of detection elements in protein-based biosensors with clinical applications. The strategy usually employed for the de novo design of ... -
In silico study of substrate chemistry effect on the tethering of engineered antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 detection: amorphous silica vs gold
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
Article
Open AccessThe influence of the properties of different solid substrates on the tethering of two antibodies, IgG1-CR3022 and IgG1-S309, which were specifically engineered for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, has been examined at the ... -
Microscopic characterization of phase transition in a protein
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-06)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessIn this work, we have proved that SCALA technology can be successfully used to investigate thermal phase transitions in proteins at the microscopic level. For this purpose, we have functionalized silicon cantilevers, which ... -
Temperature effect on the SARS-CoV-2: A Molecular dynamics study of the spike homotrimeric glycoprotein
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
Article
Open AccessRapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus have boosted the need of knowledge about inactivation mechanisms to minimize the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Recent studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 virus can be disabled by heating, the ... -
Tethering of the IgG1 antibody to amorphous silica for immunosensor development: a molecular dynamics study
(2020-10-27)
Article
Open AccessA key factor for improving the sensitivity and performance of immunosensors based on mechanical–plasmonic methods is the orientation of the antibody proteins immobilized on the inorganic surface. Although experimental ... -
Thermomechanical response of a representative porin for biomimetics
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-07-31)
Article
Open AccessThe thermomechanical response of Omp2a, a representative porin used for the fabrication of smart biomimetic nanomembranes, has been characterized using microcantilever technology and compared with standard proteins. For ... -
Unravelling the molecular interactions between the SARS-CoV-2 RBD spike protein and various specific monoclonal antibodies
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessVaccination against SARS-CoV-2 just started in most of the countries. However, the development of specific vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 is not the only approach to control the virus and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) start ...
