Cytochrome c (cyt c) is a small soluble heme protein characterized by a relatively flexible
structure, particularly in the ferric form, such that it is able to sample a broad conformational …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews recent small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering
(SAXS and SANS) studies of putatively “fully” unfolded states formed at equilibrium. It …

The combined effects of concentration and pH on the conformational states of bovine serum
albumin (BSA) are investigated by small-angle x-ray scattering. Serum albumins, at …

Many research topics in the fields of condensed matter and the life sciences are based on
small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering techniques. With the current rapid progress in …

The structural change of chicken egg white lysozyme in aqueous 1-butyl-3-
methylimidazolium nitrate ([bmim][NO3]) solutions (0–24 M) has been investigated by optical …

Increasing drug resistance of common pathogens urgently needs discovery of new effective
molecules. Antimicrobial peptides are believed to be one of the possible solutions of this …

In view of an appreciable increase in resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to the
conventional antibiotics, it is desired to develop new effective drugs. Antimicrobial peptides …

The transfer of proteins by the anionic surfactant bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) at a
polarized 1, 2-dichloroethane/water (DCE/W) interface was investigated by means of ion …

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles show promise as a drug-carrier vehicle for biomedical
applications, but the development of simple, biocompatible capping systems has remained a …

The activities of biomolecules are affected by the proton concentrations at biological
membranes. Here, we succeeded in evaluating the interface proton concentration (− log [H+] …
