The structure effect on the role of different ionic liquids (ILs) as simultaneous supporting electrolyte and co-catalyst for CO2 electroreduction in the presence of a model molecular catalyst [Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl] has not been addressed yet. In particular, we varied the nature of the cation, anion and cation alkyl chain by a choice of 5 different ILs, i...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are abundant in all species. They play critical roles in many cellular processes, including transcription/translation regulation, cell cycle regulation, mRNA processing, scaffolding, apoptosis, and assembly of large protein complexes or membraneless organelles. IDP...

Adsorption is one of the most widely used processes in physicochemical operations. To design an adsorbent for a specific adsorbate, it is important to understand the interactions between adsorbents and adsorbates, which are very important for both adsorption capacity and selectivity. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interac...

Research background Emulsion technology is a suitable way of encapsulating, protecting and releasing hydrophobic bioactive compounds for application in food industries, but they are thermodynamically unstable systems. Good results have been achieved for emulsions stabilized by protein-polysaccharide complexes subjected to high-pressure homogenizati...

AbstractThe aim of this study was to develop and review the properties including removal efficacy of novel polyelectrolyte based multilayers against a pharmaceutical, obidoxime (OBD) from water. After examining a wide range of bilayer pairs based on different polyelectrolytes, the layer-by-layer (LbL) modification of polyamide microfiltration membr...

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder characterized by disturbed tissue related molecular activity within the brain irrespective of age. The cause is very difficult to understand towards a suitable treatment. However, its symptoms like seizures are treated and suppressed by known medications. Moreover, the condition is linked with neuro-transmitters such ...

Tropomyosin (Tpm) is a dimeric coiled-coil protein that binds to filamentous actin, and regulates actin-myosin interaction by moving between three positions corresponding to the blocked, closed, and open states. To elucidate how Tpm undergoes transitions between these functional states, we have built structural models and conducted extensive molecu...

Translational regulation through synonymous codon usage has been recently shown to play an important role in health and disease. Modified tRNAs are important actors involved in regulating protein expression levels by optimizing the decoding of differentially used codons, nevertheless their contribution in protein synthesis dynamics remain unclear. ...

Here we report a novel approach, the DelPhiForce Molecular Dynamics (DFMD) method, for steered molecular dynamics simulations to model receptor-ligand association involving charged species. The main purpose of developing DFMD is to simulate ligand's trajectory toward the receptor and thus to predict the "entrance" of the binding pocket and conforma...

A high power factor must be achieved to improve the thermoelectric (TE) output of organic TE materials though the tradeoff between electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient is a serious obstacle to the further development of these materials. Here, systematic control of the electrostatic interaction between a conducting polymer and a dopan...
