Molecular theory of hydrophobic mismatch between lipids and peptides

open access: yes, 2001
Effects of the mismatch between the hydrophobic length, d, of transmembrane alpha helices of integral proteins and the hydrophobic thickness, D_h, of the membranes they span are studied theoretically utilizing a microscopic model of lipids. In particular,

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Recovering superhydrophobicity in nanoscale and macroscale surface textures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Here, we investigate complete drying of hydrophobic cavities in order to elucidate its dependence on the size of confinement, its geometry, and the degree of hydrophobicity. Two complementary theoretical approaches are adopted: a macroscopic one based on

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Super-Hydrophobic Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Coatings for Stainless Steel

open access: yes, 2015
We have taken advantage of the native surface roughness and the iron content of AISI 316 stainless steel to direct grow multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) random networks by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at low-temperature ($< 1000^{\circ}$C ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Recent Advances in Hydrophobic Deep Eutectic Solvents for Extraction

open access: yesSeparations, 2019
In the over 1,800 articles published since their inception in 2001, most deep eutectic solvents (DES) synthesized have been hydrophilic. The low cost, low toxicity, and bioavailability of DES make the solvent ‘green’ and sustainable for ...

Preparation of Aliphatic Hydroxamic Acid from Litsea cubeba Kernel Oil and Its Application to Flotation of Fe(III)-Activated Wolframite

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Litsea cubeba is a characteristic woody oil resource in Hunan. As a solid waste of woody oil resources, Litsea cubeba kernels are rich in Litsea cubeba kernel oil with a carbon chain length of C10–12 fatty acid.
