molecular dynamic simulation is a powerful method that monitors all variations in the atomic level in explicit solvent. by this method we can calculate many chemical and biochemical properties of large scale biological systems. in this work all-atom molecular dynamics simulation of polyalanine (pa) was investigated in the presence of 0.224, 0.448, 0.673, 0.897 and 1.122 m of guanidinium chlorid...

Using two well-characterized heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) from tomato (Lycopersicon peruvianum; LpHsfA1 and LpHsfA2), we analyzed the transcriptional activation of the Ha hsp17.6 G1 promoter in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) embryos. In this system, we observed transient promoter activation only with LpHsfA2. In contrast, both factors were able to activate mutant versions of the prom...

Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) has been synthesized by a solid-state mechanothermal process, and its molar heat capacity has been determined. A stoichiometric mixture of CoC2O4 · 2H2O and FeC2O4 · 2H2O was subjected to a combination of mechanical activation (by high-energy milling) and thermal activation (by annealing at temperatures between 300 and 700 ◦C). The process was followed by thermogravimet...
