AbstractNanowires have been formed from FeNi and FeCo alloys by the template synthesis method based on galvanic filling of pores of track membranes. A change in the nanowire elemental composition with a change in the electrolyte composition and with a change in the deposition potential has been studied. FeNi nanowires exhibit the effect of anomalou...
The bacterial flagellar motor is the most complex structure in the bacterial cell, driving the ion-driven rotation of the helical flagellum. The ordered expression of the regulon and the assembly of the series of interacting protein rings, spanning the inner and outer membranes to form the ∼45–50-nm protein complex, have made investigation of the s...
Filtracija olja in obraba hidravličnih komponent je odvisna od lastnosti delcev. Trenutno znanje o delcih še ne zadostuje da bi natančno določili njihov vpliv. Z namenom analize realnih in testnih delcev, smo razvili postopek pridobivanja realnih delcev iz hidravličnih filtrov. Iz obojih smo izdelali preparate za mikroskopiranje z optičnim in elekt...
Diamant je polovodič se širokým zakázaným pásem, který se vyznačuje mnoha zajímavými optickými a elektronickými vlastnostmi, mezi které se řadí přítomnost tzv. barevných center. Barevná centra jsou citlivá na chemické vlastnosti povrchu a okolního prostředí, díky čemuž je lze využít pro detekci slabých magnetických polí, teploty nebo přítomnosti mo...

Herein, we report novel neuroprotective activity of the neurohypophyseal hormone analogue desmopressin (DDAVP) against toxic conformations of human prion protein. Systematic analysis using biophysical techniques in conjunction with surface plasmon resonance, high-end microscopy, conformational antibodies, and cell-based assays demonstrated DDAVP's ...

The use of CdSe layers has recently emerged as a route to improving CdTe photovoltaics through the formation of a CdTe(1-x)Sex (CST) phase. However, the extent of the Se diffusion and the influence it has on the CdTe grain structure has not been widely investigated. In this study, we used transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-...
Cyclotides are plant-derived peptides characterized by an ∼30-amino acid-long cyclic backbone and a cystine knot motif. Cyclotides have diverse bioactivities, and their cytotoxicity has attracted significant attention for its potential anticancer applications. Hybanthus enneaspermus (Linn) F. Muell is a medicinal herb widely used in India as a libi...

We present an overview of diffusion models commonly used for quantifying the dynamics of intracellular particles (e.g. biomolecules) inside eukaryotic living cells. It is established that inference on the modes of mobility of molecules is central in cell biology since it reflects interactions between structures and determines functions of biomolecu...

The objective of this work is to demonstrate changes in properties and increase of biological activity of nicotinamide (NAM) substance for skin protectants activated by mechanical activation (MA). To assess the physical, chemical and biological properties of NAM were used biotesting by the Spirotox-method, direct and indirect optical methods (micro...
