Protein Folding and the Minimum Rate of Entropy Production

open access: yesBiophysica
Protein folding displays a very narrow range of stability energy as measured by the ΔG° value associated with the process of protein folding from the unfolded sequence of amino acids defining a particular protein.

Cu(I) Is a Game Changer in the Arrest of Cu(Aβ)‐Induced ROS Production in the Presence of Competing Zn(II) Ions

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ROS production due to Cu(amyloid‐β) redox cycling is proposed to contribute to the oxidative stress observed in Alzheimer's disease brains. We previously reported on a nitrogen and sulfur‐containing ligand, L, able to arrest Cu(Aβ)‐induced ROS production [Chem. Eur. J. 2023, 29,].

Interfacial adsorption characteristics of surfactant‐modified nanoparticles: Equilibrium and dynamic effects of salinity at the oil–water interface

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Surfactant‐modified nanoparticles adsorb at the oil–water interface, enabling interfacial stabilization and microemulsion formation. Abstract This study systematically investigated the interfacial behaviour of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with cationic (CTAB), anionic (SDS), and nonionic (Triton ...

Optimal model‐based design of experiments for parameter precision: Supercritical extraction case

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the process of chamomile oil extraction from flowers. A parameter‐distributed model consisting of a set of partial differential equations is used to describe the governing mass transfer phenomena in a cylindrical packed bed with solid chamomile particles under supercritical conditions using carbon dioxide as a solvent ...

Valorization of Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) peel for peroxidase production and its immobilization on alginate beads for 2,4‐dichlorophenol bioconversion

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Sodium alginate was modified with EDC/NHS for the immobilization of Yacon peel peroxidase, resulting in a novel biocatalyst for the oxidation of 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Abstract Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) roots are emerging as an alternative source of peroxidase. This study aimed to extract, immobilize, and characterize the peroxidase from Yacon peel,

Energy Landscapes in Chemical Reactions and Transport

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Kinetics/dynamics of chemical reactivity and transport of chemical species in a solid are both determined by the energy landscape in which they take place. Discussing common grounds but also distinct differences may help in advancing the understanding in both fields.

Crystal Plane Engineering of Zn Nanosheet Arrays Toward Robust Hybrid Capacitive Energy Storage

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a dual‐phase ZnCl2 concentration strategy dynamically switching Zn2+ solvation from [Zn(H2O)6]2+ to [ZnCl(H2O)5]+. The solvation shift steers the epitaxial growth of Zn nanosheet arrays, favoring the (002) crystal plane over (101).
