The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has recently emerged
in China and caused a disease called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The virus …

Biomolecules have been thoroughly investigated in a multitude of solvents historically in
order to accentuate or modulate their superlative properties in an array of applications. Ionic …

Biocatalysis in organic solvents (OSs) has found various important applications, particularly
in organic synthesis and for the production of pharmaceuticals, flavors, and fragrances …

Abstract Background Sugar esters (SEs) are non-ionic amphiphilic surfactants that possess
excellent emulsifying properties, and consequently have potential applications in the food …

Enzyme activity in nonaqueous media (eg conventional organic solvents) is typically lower
than in water by several orders of magnitude. There is a rising interest of developing new …

Coarse-grained (CG) models parametrized using atomistic reference data, ie,“bottom up”
CG models, have proven useful in the study of biomolecules and other soft matter. However …

Expanding synthetic capabilities to routinely employ enzymes in organic solvents (OSs) is a
dream for protein engineers and synthetic chemists. Despite significant advances in the field …

This study investigated the mechanism of ethanol enhancing the gel properties of heat-
induced silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) surimi gels. The presence of ethanol …

The solvation shell is essential for the folding and function of proteins, but how it contributes
to protein misfolding and aggregation has still to be elucidated. We show that the mobility of …

Biocatalysis in ionic liquids (ILs) gained substantial interest due to solvent properties of the
ILs, such as near-zero vapor pressure, high thermal stability, and wide tunability. Enzymes …
