Antibacterial activity and its mechanisms of a recombinant Funme peptide against Cronobacter sakazakii in powdered infant formula.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Cronobacter sakazakii (Cs) is a typical foodborne bacterium that infect powdered infant formula (PIF) worldwide. In this study, a recombinant antimicrobial peptide, branded as Funme peptide (FP)was applied to protect PIF from Cs contamination. The re...

KELM-CPPpred: Kernel Extreme Learning Machine Based Prediction Model for Cell-Penetrating Peptides.

Journal of proteome research
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) facilitate the transport of pharmacologically active molecules, such as plasmid DNA, short interfering RNA, nanoparticles, and small peptides. The accurate identification of new and unique CPPs is the initial step to ...

Ultrasound-assisted d-tartaric acid whole-cell bioconversion by recombinant Escherichia coli.

Ultrasonics sonochemistry
d-Tartaric acid has wide range of application in the pharmaceutical industry and scarcely exists in nature. In this study, cis-epoxysuccinate hydrolase (CESH)-containing Escherichia coli was used to perform whole-cell bioconversion of cis-epoxysuccin...

Effect of pseudolaric acid B on biochemical and physiologic characteristics in Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.

Pesticide biochemistry and physiology
In our previous study on natural products with fungicidal activity, pseudolaric acid B (PAB) isolated from Pseudolarix amabilis was examined to inhibit significantly mango anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) in vivo and in vitro. In the curr...

Antifungal properties and biocompatibility of silver nanoparticle coatings on silicone maxillofacial prostheses in vitro.

Journal of biomedical materials research. Part B, Applied biomaterials
Patients with facial prostheses suffer from yeast, Candida albicans, infections. This study aimed to determine the biocompatibility and antifungal properties of silicone facial prostheses coated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in vitro. Medical gr...

Highly predictive and interpretable models for PAMPA permeability.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry
Cell membrane permeability is an important determinant for oral absorption and bioavailability of a drug molecule. An in silico model predicting drug permeability is described, which is built based on a large permeability dataset of 7488 compound ent...

Mechanisms of inactivation of Candida humilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae by pulsed electric fields.

Bioelectrochemistry (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
AIMS: This study aimed to determine how electric field strength, pulse width and shape, and specific energy input relate to the effect of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on viability and membrane permeabilization in Candida humilis and Saccharomyces cer...

Predicting the Absorption Potential of Chemical Compounds Through a Deep Learning Approach.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
The human colorectal carcinoma cell line (Caco-2) is a commonly used in-vitro test that predicts the absorption potential of orally administered drugs. In-silico prediction methods, based on the Caco-2 assay data, may increase the effectiveness of th...

MuCoCP: a priori chemical knowledge-based multimodal contrastive learning pre-trained neural network for the prediction of cyclic peptide membrane penetration ability.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: There has been a burgeoning interest in cyclic peptide therapeutics due to their various outstanding advantages and strong potential for drug formation. However, it is undoubtedly costly and inefficient to use traditional wet lab methods ...
