Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is the best-characterized virus. Compared to most other
viruses, its structure and physical and chemical properties are well known. TMV exclusively …

Viruses are metastable macromolecular assemblies that toggle between multiple
conformational states through molecular rearrangements that are critical for mediating viral …

Caseins form heterogeneous micelles composed of three types of disordered protein chains
(α, β, κ), which include protein-bound calcium phosphate particles. We probe the stability …

High-pressure Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to determine the
pressure and temperature stability of Mal d1. This study was triggered by contradictory …

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) represents a paradigm in virology, and its control may open the
way to effective treatment against phytoviruses. However, the use of chemicals to eliminate …

The fields of biological and medical physics and biomedical engineering are broad,
multidisciplinary and dynamic. They lie at the crossroads of frontier research in physics …

Virus dissociation and inactivation by high pressure have been extensively studied in recent
decades. Pressure-induced dissociation of viral particles involves a reduction in the Gibbs …

Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a DNA virus that causes reproductive failure in gilts and sows,
resulting in embryonic and fetal losses worldwide. Epitope mapping of PPV is important for …

The urea-and pressure-induced dissociation of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and proton
involvement were investigated using a thermodynamic approach that considered the extent …

Exposure to high pressure is an efficient method of bacterial inactivation that is particularly
important for reducing the microbial load present in foods. In this study, we examined the …
