Durable antimicrobial cotton textiles coated sonochemically with ZnO nanoparticles embedded in an in-situ enzymatically generated bioadhesive
(2018-02-14)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn important preventive measure for providing a bacteria-free environment for the patients is the introduction of highly efficient and durable antibacterial textiles in hospitals. This work describes a single step ... -
Tuning ubiquinone position in biomimetic monolayer membranes
(2017-06-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyArtificial lipid bilayers have been extensively studied as models that mimic natural membranes (biomimetic membranes). Several attempts of biomimetic membranes inserting ubiquinone (UQ) have been performed to enlighten ... -
Strategies to prevent the occurrence of resistance against antibiotics by using advanced materials
(2018-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDrug resistance occurrence is a global healthcare concern responsible for the increased morbidity and mortality in hospitals, time of hospitalisation and huge financial loss. The failure of the most antibiotics to kill ... -
Layer-by-layer decorated nanoparticles with tunable antibacterial and antibiofilm properties against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
(2018-01-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyacteria-mediated diseases are a global healthcare concern due to the development and spread of antibiotic resistant strains. Cationic compounds are considered membrane active biocidal agents having a great potential to ... -
Identification of potential small molecule binding pockets in p38a MAP kinase
(2017-10-23)
Article
Open AccessGiven the essential role played by protein kinases in regulating cellular pathways, their dysregulation can result in the onset and/or progression of various human diseases. Structural analysis of diverse protein kinases ... -
Effect of the solvent on the conformational behavior of the alanine dipeptide deduced from MD simulations
(2017-11-01)
Article
Open AccessIn general, peptides do not exhibit a well-defined conformational profile in solution. However, despite the experimental blurred picture associated with their structure, compelling spectroscopic evidence shows that peptides ... -
Hydrogel dressings for advanced wound management
(2017-09-20)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyComposed in a large extent of water and due to their non-adhesiveness, hydrogels found their way to the wound dressing market as materials that provide a moisture environment for healing while being comfortable to the ... -
Using molecular dynamics for the refinement of atomistic models of GPCRs by homology modeling
(2017-08-13)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDespite GPCRs sharing a common seven helix bundle, analysis of the diverse crystallographic structures available reveal specific features that might be relevant for ligand design. Despite the number of crystallographic ... -
Flavonoid allosteric modulation of mutated visual rhodopsin associated with retinitis pigmentosa
(Macmillan Publishers, 2017-12-01)
Article
Open AccessDietary flavonoids exhibit many biologically-relevant functions and can potentially have beneficial effects in the treatment of pathological conditions. In spite of its well known antioxidant properties, scarce structural ... -
Structural study of a new HIV-1 entry inhibitor and interaction with the HIV-1 fusion peptide in dodecylphosphocholine micelles
(2017-07-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPrevious studies support the hypothesis that the envelope GB virus C (GBV-C) E1 protein interferes the HIV-1 entry and that a peptide, derived from the region 139-156 of this protein, has been defined as a novel HIV-1 entry ... -
Structural and functional alterations associated with deutan N94K and R330Q mutations of green cone opsin
(2017-07-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDeuteranopia is an X-linked congenital dichromatic condition in which single point mutations in green cone opsin lead to defective non-functional cone photoreceptor cells. Green cone opsin belongs to the G protein-coupled ... -
Sonochemical synthesis and stabilization of concentrated antimicrobial silver-chitosan nanoparticle dispersions
(Wiley, 2017-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work reports on a green synthetic route to produce concentrated aqueous dispersions of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) employing high-intensity ultrasound (US) and chitosan (CS) as a non-toxic reducing agent for Ag1 salts ...
