Effect of cetrimonium carrier micelles on bacterial membranes and extracellular DNA, an in silico study [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Microorganisms do not live as dispersed single cells but rather they form aggregates with extracellular polymeric substances at interfaces. Biofilms are considered efficient life forms because they shield bacteria from biocides and collect dilute ...

Mass Spectrometric Assessment of the Reactivity and Target Sites of 3-Aminopropanal and 3-Aminopropanal-Released Acrolein in Peptides and Proteins. [PDF]
J Mass SpectromABSTRACT Living cells are frequently exposed to aldehydes, as these compounds are produced during metabolism, found in natural dietary sources, and present as contaminants, drugs, and pollutants. For instance, acrolein is well‐known as a toxic pollutant, but is also produced in the metabolism of polyamines, threonine, and polyunsaturated fatty acids ...
