A novel analytical method for the determination of pharmaceutical polymorphs was developed using terahertz spectroscopy. It was found out that each polymorph of a substance showed a specific terahertz absorption spectrum. In particular, analysis of the second derivative spectrum was enormously beneficial in the discrimination of closely related polymorphs that were difficult to discern by powde...

Exhaustive prediction of physicochemical properties of peptide sequences is used in different areas of biological research. One example is the identification of selective cationic antibacterial peptides (SCAPs), which may be used in the treatment of different diseases. Due to the discrete nature of peptide sequences, the physicochemical properties calculation is considered a high-performance co...

For most of evolutionary history, scientific understanding of the environment and life forms is extremely limited. In this commentary I discuss the hypothesis that ontogenetic features of living organisms can be considered biomarkers of coevolution between organisms and physicochemical agents during Earth's history. I provide a new vision of evolution based on correlations between metabolic fea...

Objective: The aim this study was to compare the physicochemical characteristics of the honey of wild Melipona scutellaris with the standards determined by the technical regulations and honey quality of Ministry of Agriculture, Brazil. Methods: Honey of Melipona scutellaris was acquired from certified institution in Natal, RN, Brazil. The physicochemical analysis of honey was carried out so tha...

We introduce a novel contact prediction method that achieves high prediction accuracy by combining evolutionary and physicochemical information about native contacts. We obtain evolutionary information from multiple-sequence alignments and physicochemical information from predicted ab initio protein structures. These structures represent low-energy states in an energy landscape and thus capture...

It has tremendous values for both drug discovery and basic research to develop a solid bioinformatical tool for guiding peptide reagent design. Based on the physical and chemical properties of amino acids, a new strategy for peptide reagent design, the so-called AABPD (amino acid based-peptide design), is proposed. The peptide samples in a training dataset are described by a series of HMLP (heu...

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND HARD-TO-COOK PHENOMENON OF DRY BEANS

conclusions although quince seeds dried mucilage by lyophilization had less yield amounts yet in view of purity and physicochemical and mechanical properties, it was significantly better than mucilage prepared by the oven method (p < 0.05). results the yield value of mucilage from the warm method was about three folds greater than the amount from the cold method. the phytochemical, physicochemi...

Background: Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms presenting a diversity of biotechnological applications. However, microalgal cultivation systems are not energetically and economically feasible. Possible strategies that can be applied to improve the feasibility of microalgal production include biofouling control in photobioreactors, the use of attached growth systems and bioflocculation...
