Nitric oxide releasing polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate hydrogels as antibacterial and conductive strain sensors.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Conductive hydrogels have promising applications in flexible electronic devices and artificial intelligence, which have attracted much attention in recent years. However, most conductive hydrogels have no antimicrobial activity, inevitably leading to...

Self-assembled pH-stable gellan/κ-carrageenan bigel: Rheological studies and viscosity prediction by neural network.

International journal of biological macromolecules
The current study focused on analysing and predicting the effect of physicochemical parameters on the rheological properties of the novel polysaccharide-based bigel. This is the first study to report a bigel fabricated entirely from polysaccharides a...

Rapid discrimination of glycogen particles originated from different eukaryotic organisms.

International journal of biological macromolecules
There are many commercially available glycogen particles in the market due to their bioactive functions as food additive, drug carrier and natural moisturizer, etc. It would be beneficial to rapidly determine the origins of commercially-available gly...

Carvacrol protects against carbonyl osmolyte-induced structural modifications and aggregation to serum albumin: Insights from physicochemical and molecular interaction studies.

International journal of biological macromolecules
The robust use of osmolytes (i.e., polyols and sugars) in the key therapeutic regimens/formulations has questioned their impact beyond the stability of therapeutic proteins as these osmolytes trigger structural alterations into proteins including mis...

Intelligent modeling and experimental study on methylene blue adsorption by sodium alginate-kaolin beads.

International journal of biological macromolecules
As tighter regulations on color in discharges to water bodies are more widely implemented worldwide, the demand for reliable inexpensive technologies for dye removal grows. In this study, the removal of the basic dye, methylene blue, by adsorption on...

Classifying the superfamily of small heat shock proteins by using g-gap dipeptide compositions.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Small heat shock protein (sHSP) is a superfamily of molecular chaperone and is found from archaea to human. Recent researches have demonstrated that sHSPs participate in a series of biological processes and are even closely associated with serious di...

Weissella cibaria EIR/P2-derived exopolysaccharide: A novel alternative to conventional biomaterials targeting periodontal regeneration.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Healing and regeneration of periodontium are considered as a complex physiological process. Therefore, treatments need to be addressed with highly effective components modulating the multiple pathways. In this study, exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced ...

Pectin extraction from Helianthus annuus (sunflower) heads using RSM and ANN modelling by a genetic algorithm approach.

International journal of biological macromolecules
In this work, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network coupled with genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) have been used to develop a model and optimise the conditions for the extraction of pectin from sunflower heads. Input parameters w...

An in-silico method for identifying aggregation rate enhancer and mitigator mutations in proteins.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Newly synthesized polypeptides must pass stringent quality controls in cells to ensure appropriate folding and function. However, mutations, environmental stresses and aging can reduce efficiencies of these controls, leading to accumulation of protei...

The first two mitochondrial genomes from Taeniopterygidae (Insecta: Plecoptera): Structural features and phylogenetic implications.

International journal of biological macromolecules
The complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Taeniopteryx ugola and Doddsia occidentalis (Plecoptera: Taeniopterygidae) were firstly sequenced from the family Taeniopterygidae. The 15,353-bp long mitogenome of T. ugola and the 16,020-bp long m...
