Inhibition of Burkholderia multivorans Adhesion to Lung Epithelial Cells by Bivalent Lactosides
(MDPI, 2012-08-24)Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) is an opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis patients which is inherently resistant to antimicrobial agents. The mechanisms of attachment and pathogenesis of Bcc, a group of 17 species, ... -
Interaction of nanoparticles with ideal liquid-liquid interfaces
(2009)Using molecular simulations the interaction between a noncharged nanoparticle and an ideal liquid-liquid interface is studied. The free energy profile as function of nanoparticle-interface separation is determined using ... -
Investigating native state fluorescence emission of Immunoglobulin G using polarized Excitation Emission Matrix (pEEM) spectroscopy and PARAFAC
(Elsevier, 2018-12-20)Intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy (IFS) measurements for protein structural analysis can be enhanced by the use of anisotropy resolved multidimensional emission spectroscopy (ARMES). ARMES attempts to overcome the ... -
Investigating the solid state hosting abilities of homo- and hetero-valent [Co-7] metallocalix[6]arenes
(RSC, 2012)A family of homo-valent [Co(II)(7)(OH)(6)(L-1)(6)](NO3)(2)(1), [(MeOH)(2)subset of Co(II)(7)(OH)(6)(L-1)(6)](NO3)(2) (2) (where L1H = 2-iminomethyl-6-methoxyphenol) and hetero-valent [(NO3)(2)subset of Co(III)Co(II)(6)(O ... -
Investigating tryptophan quenching of fluorescein fluorescence under protolytic equilibrium
(2009)Fluorescein is one of most used fluorescent labels for characterizing biological systems, such as proteins, and is used in fluorescence microscopy. However, if fluorescein is to be used for quantitative measurements involving ... -
Investigation of non-covalent interactions of metal complexes with DNA in cell-free systems
(Schweizerische Chemische Gesellschaft, 2017-03-01)Non-covalent interactions of metallo compounds with DNA range from the simple, unspecific electrostatic binding of a positively charged metal complex to the sequence-selective recognition of DNA binding sites due to shape, ... -
Investigation of the formation of drug-drug cocrystals and coamorphous systems of the antidiabetic drug gliclazide
(Elsevier, 2019-02-23)The antidiabetic drug gliclazide (GLZ) has a slow absorption rate and a low bioavailability due to its poor solubility. GLZ is often prescribed along with an antihypertensive, as many diabetic patients have coexistent ... -
Kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD): an automated method to remove cosmic ray artefacts in Raman spectra.
(2016)A new, fully automated, rapid method, referred to as kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD), is proposed for removing cosmic ray artifacts (CRAs) in Raman spectra, and in particular for large Raman ... -
A kinetic modelling study of alcohols operating regimes in a HCCI engine
(SAE International, 2017-09-04)Pursuing a sustainable energy scenario for transportation requires the blending of renewable oxygenated fuels such as alcohols into commercial hydrocarbon fuels. From a chemical kinetic perspective, this requires the ... -
A kinetics and dynamics study on the auto-ignition of dimethyl ether at low temperatures and low pressures
(Elsevier, 2020-09-14)Though the combustion chemistry of dimethyl ether (DME) has been widely investigated over the past decades, there remains a dearth of ignition data that examines the low-temperature, low-pressure chemistry of DME. In this ... -
Lectins: getting familiar with translators of the sugar code
(MDPI, 2015-01-22)The view on the significance of the presence of glycans in glycoconjugates is undergoing a paradigmatic change. Initially mostly considered to be rather inert and passive, the concept of the sugar code identifies glycans ... -
