About 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 500 000 new cases of visceral
leishmaniasis occur each year around the world. For over half a century, the clinical forms of …

Plant food allergens belong to a rather limited number of protein families and are also
characterized by a number of biochemical and physicochemical properties, many of which …

In contrast to many traditional pharmaceutical agents that exhibit a high degree of aqueous
solubility, new drug candidates are frequently highly lipophilic compounds. The aqueous …

Elicitins and lipid-transfer proteins are small cysteine-rich lipid-binding proteins secreted by
oomycetes and plant cells, respectively, that share some structural and functional properties …

The uptake, translocation and biotransformation of organophosphate esters (OPEs) by
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were investigated by a hydroponic experiment. The results …

Among a variety of molecular factors of the plant innate immune system, small proteins that
transfer lipids and exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities are of particular interest …

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) and elicitins are both able to load and transfer lipidic
molecules and share some structural and functional properties. While elicitins are known as …

The three-dimensional structure of rice nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP2) has been
solved for the first time. The structure of nsLTP2 was obtained using 813 distance …

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are among the most promising plant-exclusive antimicrobial
peptides (AMPs). They figure among the most challenging AMPs from the point of view of …

In the present study, the uptake and translocation mechanisms of phthalate esters (PAEs)
and their primary mono esters metabolites (mPAEs), and the mechanisms of PAEs …
