Conformations of myoglobin-derived peptides at the air-water interface
(American Chemical Society, 2016-04-14)
The conformational change exhibited by proteins at liquid interfaces, such as the air-water and oil-water interfaces, has long been of interest, both for understanding protein structure outside of native environments and ...
An ignition delay time and chemical kinetic modeling study of the pentane isomers
(Elsevier, 2016-10-26)
Ignition delay times of n-pentane, iso-pentane, and neo-pentane mixtures were measured in two shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine. The experimental data were used as validation targets for the model described ...
Multivalent carbohydrate-lectin interactions: the way synthetic chemistry enables insights into nanometric recognition
(MDPI Open Access, 2016-05-13)
Glycan recognition by sugar receptors (lectins) is intimately involved in many aspects of cell physiology. However, the factors explaining the exquisite selectivity of their functional pairing are not yet fully understood. ...
Genus two zhu theory for vertex operator algebras
(2016-10-27)
We consider correlation functions for a vertex operator algebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. We describe a generalisation of genus one Zhu recursion where we express an arbitrary genus ...
Does the chemical diversity of the Order Haplosclerida (Phylum Porifera: Class Demospongia) fit with current taxonomic classification?
(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2016-05-02)
Sponges and their associated microbiota are well known to produce a large diversity of natural products, also called specialized metabolites. In addition to their potential use in the pharmaceutical industry, these rather ...
Genus two virasoro correlation functions for vertex operator algebras
(2016-12-06)
We consider all genus two correlation functions for the Virasoro vacuum descendants of a vertex operator algebra. These are described in terms of explicit generating functions that can be combinatorially expressed in terms ...
A Cu(II) complex targeting the translocator protein: in vitro and in vivo antitumor potential and mechanistic insights
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-12-01)
A new Cu-based anticancer metallodrug which targets the translocator protein is reported. [CuBr2(TZ6)] elicits a remarkable in vitro cytotoxicity in sensitive and multidrug resistant cell lines and induces a 98% reduction ...
Discovery of anti-cancer activity for benzo[1,2,4]triazin-7-ones: Very strong correlation to pleurotin and thioredoxin reductase inhibition
(Elsevier, 2016-05-30)
The thioredoxin (Trx)-thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) system plays a key role in maintaining the cellular redox balance with Trx being over-expressed in a number of cancers. Inhibition of TrxR is an important strategy for ...
Identifying the sources and sinks of CDOM/FDOM across the Mauritanian Shelf and their potential role in the decomposition of superoxide (O2- )
(Frontiers Media, 2016-08-03)
Superoxide (O−2O2-) is a short lived reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed in seawater by photochemical or biological sources, it is important in the redox cycling of trace elements and organic matter in the ocean. The ...
Understanding the changes of cone reflectance in adaptive optics flood illumination retinal images over three years
(Optical Society of America, 2016)
Although there is increasing interest in the investigation of cone reflectance variability, little is understood about its characteristics over long time scales. Cone detection and its automation is now becoming a fundamental ...
