Fractal Dimensions of kappa-Carrageenan Gels during Gelation and Swelling
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
A photon scattering technique for research on the sol-gel and gel-sol transitions in kappa-carrageenan-water systems with various carrageenan contents (CC) was utilized for characterizing the fractal dimensions during ...
The neural gamma(2)alpha(1)beta(2)alpha(1)beta(2) gamma amino butyric acid ion channel receptor: structural analysis of the effects of the ivermectin molecule and disulfide bridges
(Springer, 2018)
While similar to 30% of the human genome encodes membrane proteins only a handful of structures of membrane proteins have been resolved to high resolution. Here we studied the structure of a member of the Cys-loop ligand ...
Carboxylic acid derivatives display potential selectivity for human histone deacetylase 6: Structure-based virtual screening molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies
(Elsevier Science, 2018)
Human histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been shown to play a major role in oncogenic cell transformation via deacetylation of alpha-tubulin making it a viable target of anticancer drug design and development. The crystal ...
Identification of potential isoform-selective histone deacetylase inhibitors for cancer therapy: a combined approach of structure-based virtual screening ADMET prediction and molecular dynamics simulation assay
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have gained increased attention as targets for anticancer drug design and development. HDAC inhibitors have proven to be effective for reversing the malignant phenotype in HDAC-dependent cancer ...
Electrical and optical percolations in PMMA/GNP composite films
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018)
Effects of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) addition on the electrical conductivity and optical absorbance of poly(methyl methacrylate)/graphene nanoplatelet (PMMA/GNP) composite films were studied. Optical absorbance and two ...
Optical energy band gap of PAAm-GO composites
(Elsevier Science, 2018)
Graphene oxide (GO) can be used as an electron acceptor for polymers. The generation of the exciton in such materials is intimately related to the optical band gap. Polyacrylamide (PAAm) - graphene oxide (GO) composites ...
Temperature Effect on the Elasticity of Acrylamide-n-Isopropylacrylamide Copolymers
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
Acrylamide (AAm) - N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) copolymers were prepared via free radical crosslinking copolymerization with various weight percentages (wt%) of AAm and NIPA. The temperature dependence of the compressive ...
Synthesis anticancer activity and molecular modeling of etodolac-thioether derivatives as potent methionine aminopeptidase (type II) inhibitors
(Wiley, 2018)
A series of (RS)-1-{[5-(substituted)sulfanyl-4-substituted-4H-124-triazole-3-yl]methyl}-18-diethyl-1349-tetrahydropyrano[34-b]indoles (5a-v) were designed and synthesized using a five-step synthetic protocol that involves ...
Mechanical properties of graphene oxide-polyacrylamide composites before and after swelling in water
(Springer, 2018)
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels have been proposed for use as promising biomaterials in biomedical and tissue engineering but their poor mechanical and water-retention properties have hindered their development. Graphene ...
Mathematical Characterization of Thermo-reversible Phase Transitions of Agarose Gels
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018)
The thermal phase transition temperatures of high (HMP) and low melting point (LMP) agarose gels were investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy techniques. Transmitted light intensities from the gel samples with different ...
