We analyze the results of the test of π/2 qubit rotations on a public quantum computer provided by IBM. We measure a single qubit rotated by π/2 about a random axis, and we accumulate vast statistics of the results. The test performed on different devices shows systematic deviations from the theoretical predictions, which appear at level 10–3. Some...

The antimicrobial efficacy of lactoferrin protein was estimated by testing the inhibitory activity of four types of bacteria Psudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherechia coli, Salmonella typhimurium with different concentrations of lactoferrin (0, 3, 6, 12 mg/ml), and the results showed that lactoferrin has a high ability to inhibit th...
Objectives and StudySupplementing human milk (HM) is often necessary to fulfill the nutritional needs of premature infants. This study aimed to determine if enriching HM with either an experimental donkey milk-derived fortifier (DMF), containing whole DM proteins, or a commercial bovine milk-derived fortifier (BMF), containing hydrolyzed BM whey pr...
Heteroprotein complex coacervates (HPCC) has great potential in many food applications. However,understanding the rheology-coacervate structure relationship, as well as their sensitivity to slight changes in the physicochemical environment, is still an active research topic. Herein, HPCC between two oppositelycharged proteins, lactoferrin (LF) and ...

Lactoferrin is a multifunctional glycoprotein present in mammalian milk. It possesses antimicrobial, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and several biological functions. Owing to the current trend of increasing antibiotic resistance, our study was designed to purify lactoferrin from camel milk colostrum using cation exchange chromatography on the SP-Se...

The effects of covalent binding of protocatechuic acid (PA) and gallic acid (GA) to lactoferrin (LF) on the structure, functional, and antioxidant properties of the protein conjugate were investigated. These protein-phenolic conjugates were produced by laccase cross-linking and ultrasound-assisted free radical grafting, which were characterized usi...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the elderly population. It gradually leads to memory loss, loss of thinking ability, and an overall cognitive decline. However, exhaustive literature is available to suggest that pathological changes in the brain occur decades before the first clinical sympt...

Human milk is universally regarded as the gold standard to fulfill nutrition needs of infants. Lactoferrin (LF) is a major multiple bioactive glycoprotein in human milk but little is presented in infant formula. LF can resist digestion in the infant gastrointestinal tract and is absorbed into the bloodstream in an intact form to perform physiologic...

Experiments have demonstrated that frankincense may offer protection against scopolamine-induced Alzheimer's disease by mitigating cholinergic dysfunction and inhibiting inflammatory mediators. Nevertheless, its instability and limited water solubility lead to diminished medicinal efficacy. In this study, we utilized PMBN (poly [MPC-co-(BMA)-co-(ME...
