Through the analyses of the Miyazawa-Jernigan matrix it has been shown that the hydrophobic effect generates the dominant driving force for protein folding. By using both lattice and off-lattice models, it is shown that ...

This study evaluated the potential of plasma treatments to modify the surface chemistry and hydrophobicity of a denture base acrylic resin to reduce the Candida glabrata adhesion. Specimens (n=54) with smooth surfaces were ...

Numerous anti-inflammatory properties have been attributed to caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of propolis. NADPH oxidases are multienzymatic complexes involved in many inflammatory diseases. Here, ...

Due to healthcare is increasing in nowadays, the use of the commercial probiotics is in progress and each day they are more demanded. The challenge of this study is to identify yeast species for using as probiotic organisms. ...

The three-dimensional structure of proteins is determined by their linear amino acid sequences but decipherment of the underlying protein folding code has remained elusive. Recent studies have suggested that burials, as ...

Due to the amphiphilic character, the surfactants tend to be adsorbed at the water surface and, in concentrations larger than the critical micellar concentration, they self-assembling in solution with the purpose to reduce ...
