Ab initio and empirical methods for predicting solvation energies are reviewed, focusing on
the challenge of predicting the solvation energies of reactive low-concentration species (and …

It is well-known that the amphiphilic solutes are surface-active and can accumulate at the
oil− water interface. Here, we have investigated the water and a light-oil model interface by …

An entropic stabilization mechanism has recently gained attention and credibility as the
physical ground for the extra thermal stability of globular proteins from thermophilic …

A theoretical rationalization of the occurrence of cold denaturation for globular proteins was
devised, assuming that the effective size of water molecules depends upon temperature [G …

Cosolubilization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)(naphthalene and pyrene) has
been studied in surfactant systems of varying nature of their head-group viz. nonionic: Brij30 …

This volume provides an interdisciplinary understanding of soil science practices based on a
rigorous, complete, and up-to-date treatment of the subject matter compiled by leading …

A polypeptide chain can adopt very different conformations, a fundamental distinguishing
feature of which is the water accessible surface area, WASA, that is a measure of the layer …

The present study aims to assess mutual interaction among low-molecular-weight polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (LMW PAHs), predominant contaminants at petroleum contaminated …

Trimethylamine N-oxide, TMAO, stabilizes globular proteins and is able to counteract the
denaturing activity of urea. The mechanism of this counteraction has remained elusive up to …

The present study aims to investigate the cosolubilization of a range of mixtures of
polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)(specifically, 4, 4′-dibromodiphenyl ether) and two …
