Regarding the effect that different hydrocarbon/fluorocarbon surfactant mixtures have on their complexation with HSA
(American Chemical Society, 2006-06)
The complexations between human serum albumin (HSA) and the sodium perfluorooctanoate/sodium octanoate and sodium perfluorooctanoate/sodium dodecanoate systems have been studied by a combination of electrical conductivity, ...
Low temperatures induce physiological changes in lipids, fatty acids and hydrocarbons, in two rare winter scorpions of genus Urophonius (Scorpiones, Bothriuridae)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-02)
Different organisms (mainly poikilotherms) are subject to environmental fluctuations that could affect their normal physiological functioning (e.g., by destabilization of biomembranes and rupture of biomolecules). As a ...
Hydrocarbon chain length induces surface structure transitions in alkanethiolate-Au adatom self-assembled monolayers on Au(111)
(American Chemical Society, 2013-01)
A detailed density functional calculation (DFT) study including van der Waals (vdW) dispersion forces of different adatom-containing models (RS−Auad−SR) at saturation coverage for methanethiol (MT), butanethiol (BT), and ...
Performance of Equilibrium FCC Catalysts in the Conversion of the SARA Fractions in VGO
(American Chemical Society, 2020-11)
Two equilibrium FCC catalysts of the octane-barrel (ECAT-D) and resid (ECAT-R) types were used in the cracking of a typical vacuum gasoil (VGO) and its saturated (SF), aromatic (AF), and resin (RF) fractions. The experiments ...
Biological and structural effects of the conjugation of an antimicrobial decapeptide with saturated, unsaturated, methoxylated and branched fatty acids
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-01)
The increasing bacterial resistance against conventional antibiotics has led to the search for new antimicrobial drugs with different modes of action. Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and lipopeptides are promising ...
A fatty acid synthase gene (FASN3) from the integument tissue of Rhodnius prolixus contributes to cuticle water loss regulation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-12)
Fatty acid synthase is a multifunctional enzyme involved in the formation of fatty acids. Despite the role of fatty acids in cell signalling and energy metabolism, and as precursors to pheromones and hydrocarbons that ...
Seismic Spectral Monitoring of CO2 in a Geological Reservoir
(Asociación Argentina de Mecánica Computacional, 2013-11)
Peak frequency is a spectral seismic attribute widely used for reservoir thickness estimation and hydrocarbon detection. In this work we apply this attribute in the context of the geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) ...
Searching for line active molecules on biphasic lipid monolayers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-01)
In membranes with phase coexistence, line tension appears as an important parameter for the determination of the amount of domains, as well as their size and their shape, thus defining the membrane texture. Different ...
Highly efficient removal of heavy metals from waters by magnetic chitosan-based composite
(Springer, 2019-04)
Magnetic chitosan composite (MCC) made by chitosan matrix embedding magnetite/maghemite were developed for the removal of toxic Cu(II), Pb(II), and Ni(II) from water. Thermogravimetric (TGA) and Zeta potential analyses ...
Large long-range F-F indirect spin-spin coupling constants. Prediction of measurable F-F couplings over a few nanometers
(American Chemical Society, 2004-05)
Large long-range indirect nuclear spin coupling constants are of great interest for quantum computers. But they are rarely observed and are usually considered very small, unless the coupled nuclear spins are proximate in ...
