When mimetics meets chitosan

BioResources, 2022
The concept of mimetics can be defined in terms of “learning from others” or “inspired by others”, and indeed its essence is “universal”. A well-known marvelous example of designing materials inspired by nature is human flight.

C-Robin functions and applications [PDF]

Analysis Mathematica, 2020
We continue the study in the setting of pluripotential theory arising from polynomials associated to a convex body $C$ in $({\bf R}^+)^d$. Here we discuss $C-$Robin functions and their applications. In the particular case where $C$ is a simplex in $({\bf R}^+)^2$ with vertices $(0,0),(b,0),(a,0)$, $a,b>0$, we generalize results of T.

Methyltransferases: Functions and Applications

ChemBioChem, 2022
AbstractIn this review the current state‐of‐the‐art of S‐adenosylmethionine (SAM)‐dependent methyltransferases and SAM are evaluated. Their structural classification and diversity is introduced and key mechanistic aspects presented which are then detailed further. Then, catalytic SAM as a target for drugs, and approaches to utilise SAM as a cofactor in
