The role of hydrophobicity in the cold denaturation of proteins under high pressure: A study on apomyoglobin
(American Institute of Physics, 2019-02-21)
An exciting debate arises when microscopic mechanisms involved in the denaturation of proteins at high pressures are explained. In particular, the issue emerges when the hydrophobic effect is invoked, given that hydrophobicity ...
Relation between solubility and surface hydrophobicity as an indicator of modifications during preparation processes of commercial and laboratory prepared soy protein isolates
(American Chemical Society, 2000-06)
Because water solubility is the main hydration property of proteins, solubility values of commercial and laboratory soy protein isolates, prepared under different conditions, were comparatively analyzed. In contrast, the ...
Relationship between the protein surface hydrophobicity and its partitioning behaviour in aqueous two-phase systems of polyethyleneglycol- dextran
(Elsevier Science, 2004-01)
In order to develop possible correlations to predict partioning behaviour of proteins, five mammalian albumins (goat, bovine, equine, human and pig ones) with similar physico-chemical properties (molecular mass and ...
Biofilm formation, adherence, and hydrophobicity of M. sympodialis, M. globosa, and M. slooffiae from clinical isolates and normal skinVirulence factors of M. sympodialis, M. globosa and M. slooffiae
(Oxford University Press, 2020-04)
The genus Malassezia comprises a heterogeneous group of species that cause similar pathologies. Malassezia yeasts were considered as the most abundant skin eukaryotes of the total skin mycobiome. The ability of this fungus ...
Evidence of hydrophobic interactions controlling mobile ions release from smart hydrogels
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010-01)
A water soluble cationic metal complex (tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)) can be loaded into hydrogels containing acrylamide and/or acrylic acid units. The cationic complex is retained in polymer containing acrylic acid ...
Low Density Wood Impregnation with Water-Repellent Organosilicic Compounds
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-01)
Many protective treatments for low density wood are applied by impregnationto give water-repellency and to control pathologies that usually have this substrate.The properties of Araucaria angustifolia , chemically modified ...
Structure and orientation of water molecules at model hydrophobic surfaces with curvature: From graphene sheets to carbon nanotubes and fullerenes
(Elsevier Science, 2011-09)
We study the structure and orientation of water molecules at model hydrophobic surfaces by means of molecular dynamics. We focus here on the role of geometry in water hydration by comparing the situation for a planar ...
Hydrophobic proteins secreted into the apoplast may contribute to resistance against Phytophthora infestans in potato
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2012-07)
During plantepathogen interaction, oomycetes secrete effectors into the plant apoplast where they interact with host resistance proteins, which are accumulated after wounding or infection. Previous studies showed that the ...
From Phase Change Materials to Green Solvents: Hydrophobic Low Viscous Fatty Acid-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents
(American Chemical Society, 2018-03)
Inspired by the use of fatty acids in development of low temperature latent heat storage materials, novel low viscous and hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) based exclusively on fatty acids are herein proposed as ...
