Divalent metal ions under low concentration environment improved the thermal gel properties of egg yolk

Poultry Science
: To improve the thermal gel properties of egg yolk, the effect of several valence metal ions (K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe3+) with different concentrations (0–0.72%) on the rheological, gel, and structural properties of egg yolk were investigated.

Toward transferable interatomic van der Waals interactions without electrons: The role of multipole electrostatics and many-body dispersion [PDF]

, 2014
We estimate polarizabilities of atoms in molecules without electron density, using a Voronoi tesselation approach instead of conventional density partitioning schemes.

The Monomer Electron Density Force Field (MEDFF) : a physically inspired model for noncovalent interactions [PDF]

, 2016
We propose a methodology to derive pairwise-additive noncovalent force fields from monomer electron densities without any empirical input. Energy expressions are based on the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) decomposition of interaction ...

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

FEBS 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 ...

First-Principles-Based Dispersion Augmented Density Functional Theory: From Molecules to Crystals [PDF]

, 2010
Standard implementations of density functional theory (DFT) describe well strongly bound molecules and solids but fail to describe long-range van der Waals attractions.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Is Young's Modulus a Critical Coating Property Determining Fouling‐Release Performance of Marine Coatings?

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.
