Comparative Adsorption of Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids at the Iron Oxide/Oil Interface.
(2016-01-19)A detailed comparison of the adsorption behavior of long straight chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids at the iron oxide/oil interface has been considered using a combination of surface study techniques. Both depletion ... -
Impact of Membrane Phospholipids and Exosomes on the Kinetics of Amyloid-β Fibril Assembly.
(2024-03-15)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked with the self-association of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) into oligomers and fibrils. The brain is a lipid rich environment for Aβ to assemble, while the brain membrane composition varies ... -
A novel method produces native light-harvesting complex II aggregates from the photosynthetic membrane revealing their role in nonphotochemical quenching.
(2020-12-18)Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) is a mechanism of regulating light harvesting that protects the photosynthetic apparatus from photodamage by dissipating excess absorbed excitation energy as heat. In higher plants, the ... -
Targeting the substrate preference of a type I nitroreductase to develop antitrypanosomal quinone-based prodrugs.
(2012-11)Nitroheterocyclic prodrugs are used to treat infections caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei. A key component in selectivity involves a specific activation step mediated by a protein homologous with type I ...
