Protein Surface Interactions—Theoretical and Experimental Studies
(2021-07-09)
In this review, we briefly describe a theoretical discussion of protein folding, presenting the relative contribution of the hydrophobic effect versus the stabilization of proteins via direct surface forces that sometimes ...
Preparation of transparent hydrophobic polymeric films spray-deposited on substrates
(2018-02-01)
This paper describes the production of transparent hydrophobic polymeric films made of poly(vinyl chloride) and paraffin wax. A liquid polymeric solution was prepared and spray-deposited on silica glass and nonwoven fabric ...
Preparation of hydrophobic MFI zeolites containing hierarchical micro-mesopores using seeds functionalized with octyltriethoxysilane
(2020-01-20)
In this work, we report the synthesis of hydrophobic MFI zeolites presenting a mesopore size distribution and high specific external area (∼288 m2 g−1), employing surface functionalization with octyltriethoxysilane (OTEOS). ...
Alkaloids as Alternative Probes to Characterize the Relative Hydrophobicity of Aqueous Biphasic Systems
(2016-03-07)
In order to overcome the lack of characterization on the relative hydrophobicity of aqueous biphasic systems (ABS), the partition of three alkaloids as alternative probes was evaluated in a series of biocompatible ABS ...
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 ...
Methane Combustion over Pd/SiO2 Catalysts with different degree of hydrophobicity
(2005)
The combustion of methane has been studied over 1% Pd catalysts supported on commercial silica with different hydrophobicity, prepared by chlorine free precursors. It was found that, when no water is added to the feed, the ...
