Doping Human Serum Albumin with Retinoate Markedly Enhances Electron Transport Across the Protein [PDF]
Electrons can migrate via proteins over distances that are considered long for non-conjugated systems. Proteins' nano-scale dimensions and the enormous flexibility of their structures and chemistry makes them fascinating subjects for investigating the mechanism of their electron transport (ETp) capacity.

Slow and remanent electric polarization of adsorbed BSA layer evidenced by neutron reflection [PDF]
Using neutron reflectivity together with an appropriate electrochemical cell, we have studied the effects of transverse electric field on the Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) monolayer initially adsorbed at the interface of the aqueous solution and a conductive doped-silicon wafer. Depending on the sign of the initial potential, a second layer is adsorbed on

Uric Acid and Coronary Artery Disease, Two Sides of a Single Coin: A Determinant of Antioxidant System or a Factor in Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]
Introduction: Uric acid has antioxidant activity and it is expected to protect against coronary artery disease (CAD). Contradictory, it is a component of metabolic syndrome and so a risk factor for CAD.

Feasibility of an Acoustophoresis-based System for a High-Throughput Cell Washing: Application to Bioproduction [PDF]
Background These last decades have seen the emergence and development of cell-based therapies, notably those based on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). The advancement of these promising treatments requires increasing the throughput of processed cell for industrialization in order to reduce production costs.

The C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio as a Predictor of Mortality in Critically Ill Patients
The C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio has recently emerged as a marker for poor prognosis or mortality across various patient groups. This study aimed to identify the association between CRP/albumin ratio and 28-day mortality and predict the ...

Interaction of Tannin with Bovine Serum Albumin by Fluorescence Spectrometry [PDF]
Interaction between tannin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was examined by the fluorescent quenching. The process of elimination between BSA and tannin was the one of a stationary state, and the coupling coefficient was one. The working strength between the tannin and the beef serum was hydrophobic one.
