Charge Sensitivity of Superconducting Single-Electron Transistor

, 1996
It is shown that the noise-limited charge sensitivity of a single-electron transistor using superconductors (of either $SISIS$ or $NISIN$ type) operating near the threshold of quasiparticle tunneling, can be considerably higher than that of a similar ...

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems? [PDF]

, 2016
peer-reviewedBacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).

Rhenium Complexes as Antimicrobial Agents

Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
Rhenium complexes are stepping into the fight against superbugs. Our new review explores how these metallic complexes could inspire the next generation of antimicrobial therapies. ABSTRACT The escalating crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates the exploration of unconventional therapeutic scaffolds.

Cyclodextrin carboxylate improves the stability and activity of nisin in a wider range of application conditions

npj Science of Food, 2023
Nisin is a natural bacteriocin that exhibits good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. It has good solubility, stability, and activity under acidic conditions, but it becomes less soluble, stable, and active when the solution pH exceeds

Combined inhibitory effect of nisin with EDTA against Listeria monocytogenes in soy-protein edible coating on turkey frankfurters stored at 4°C and 10°C [PDF]

, 2006
Several food contamination outbreaks are linked to Listeria monocytogenes. More effective methods are needed to prevent the growth and recontamination of L. monocytogenes on ready-to-eat (RTE) food products.

Statement validity assessment of students' sexual assault accounts: Comparison of honest reports, false denials and false allegations using the criteria‐based content analyses and the verifiability approach

Legal and Criminological Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose In this study, we investigated whether three types of sexual assault (SA) accounts, Full disclosure (Honest), False denial and False allegation, could be distinguished using Criteria‐Based Content Analysis (CBCA) and the Verifiability Approach (VA). Method Student participants were pre‐screened for a history of SA.

Contribution of weak localization to non local transport at normal metal / superconductor double interfaces

, 2006
In connection with a recent experiment [Russo {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 95}, 027002 (2005)], we investigate the effect of weak localization on non local transport in normal metal / insulator / superconductor / insulator / normal metal (NISIN ...

Membrane Topology of the Lactococcal Bacteriocin ATP-binding Cassette Transporter Protein LcnC. Involvement of LcnC in Lactococcin A Maturation [PDF]

, 1999
Many non-lantibiotic bacteriocins of lactic acid bacteria are produced as precursors with N-terminal leader peptides different from those present in preproteins exported by the general sec-dependent (type II) secretion pathway. These bacteriocins utilize

Comprehensive and Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of the Cell Wall Stress Response in Bacillus subtilis

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Transcriptional profiling of the primary cell envelope stress response (CESR) of Bacillus subtilis exposed to a range of cell wall‐targeting antimicrobials, combining RNAseq and high‐resolution tiling arrays. We revealed the complexity of the CESR, the contribution of extracytoplasmic function sigma factors (ECFs) and two‐component signal transduction ...
