Protein–polysaccharide composites have been known to show a wide range of applications
in biomedical and green chemical fields. These composites have been fabricated into a …

Proteins are highly labile molecules, thus requiring the presence of appropriate solvents and
excipients in their liquid milieu to keep their stability and biological activity. In this field, ionic …

A high-resolution two-dimensional Pg-wave velocity model is obtained for the upper crust
around the epicenters of the April 20, 2013 Ms7. 0 Lushan earthquake and the May 12, 2008 …

The influence of the ribosome on nascent chains is poorly understood, especially in the case
of proteins devoid of signal or arrest sequences. Here, we provide explicit evidence for the …

The Mw 6.6 Lushan earthquake (hereafter referred to as the Lushan earthquake) occurred in
the early morning on 20 April 2013 (Fig. 1). The earthquake caused more than 200 …

We introduce a set of charged patchy particle models (CPPMs) in order to systematically
study the influence of electrostatic charge patchiness and multipolarity on macromolecular …

Miscibility is an important issue in biopolymer blends for analysis of the behavior of polymer
pairs through the detection of phase separation and improvement of the mechanical and …

Identification of matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) as ubiquitous components of the
extracellular matrix (ECM) raises questions regarding their biologic functions and their …

The cysteine-rich, cationic, antifungal protein PAF is abundantly secreted into the culture
supernatant of the filamentous Ascomycete Penicillium chrysogenum. The five β-strands of …

Dispersion of objects in a fluid phase can be classified as solutions (Gibbs free energy of
mixing, ΔGmix< 0) or suspensions (ΔGmix> 0) depending on their thermodynamic stability …
