Pathogenic mutations in the hydrophobic core of the human prion protein can promote structural instability and misfolding [PDF]
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases, are caused by misfolding and aggregation of the prion protein PrP. These diseases can be hereditary in humans and four of the many disease-associated missense mutants of PrP are in the ...

Two empirical indices accounting for the hydrophobic interaction are described. The first index is a "hydrophobic field-effect (Hf) index, "which indicates the hydrophobic nature of the binding site of a host molecule such as an enzyme, and the second index is a "hydrophobic correlation (Hc) index", which indicates the hydrophobic correspondency ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects in Hydrophobic Nanoconfinement [PDF]
Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) in water arise due to delocalization, zero-point energy (ZPE), and quantum tunneling of protons. Whereas quantum tunneling is significant only at low temperatures, proton delocalization and ZPE influence the properties of water at normal temperature and pressure (NTP), giving rise to isotope effects.

Valid molecular dynamics simulations of human hemoglobin require a surprisingly large box size
Recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of human hemoglobin (Hb) give results in disagreement with experiment. Although it is known that the unliganded (T[Formula: see text]) and liganded (R[Formula: see text]) tetramers are stable in solution, the ...

Supramolecular Organocatalysis in Water Mediated by Macrocyclic Compounds
In the last decades many efforts have been devoted to design supramolecular organocatalysts able to work in water as the reaction medium. The use of water as solvent provides promising benefits with respect to environmental impact.

Giving hydrophobicity and study of properties of cotton fabric [PDF]
An effect of a hydrophobic composition based on polymers on the hydrophobicity and performance properties of cotton fabrics of various surface structures has been studied. The processing of the fabric was carried out by a plus method.

Removal of As(III) and As(V) from water using green, silica-based ceramic hollow fibre membranes via direct contact membrane distillation [PDF]
Arsenite [As(III)] and arsenate [As(V)] removal by direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) using novel hydrophobic green, silica-based ceramic hollow fibre membranes derived from agricultural rice husk was investigated in this work. The green ceramic
