Structure and Function in Antimicrobial Piscidins: Histidine Position, Directionality of Membrane Insertion, and pH-Dependent Permeabilization

May 30, 2019
Author(s)
Mihaela Mihailescu, Mirco Sorci, Jolita Seckute, Vitalii I. Silin, Janet Hammer, B. Scott Perrin, Jorge Hernandez, Nedzada Smajic, Akritee Shrestha, Kimberly Bogadardus, Alexander Greenwood, Riqiang Fu, Jack Blazyk, Richard W. Pastor, Linda Nicholson, Georges Belfort, Myriam Cotten
Piscidins are histidine-enriched antimicrobial peptides that interact with lipid bilayers as amphipathic alpha-helices. Their activity at acidic and basic pH in vivo makes them promising templates for biomedical applications. This study focuses on p1 and

Samples of polycarbonate (PC), poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), a PC/PBT blend, and poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN), all containing 3 % TiO2 (by mass), were exposed in the NIST (National Institutes of Standards and Technology) SPHERE (Simulated

Optical Properties of Meloxicam in the Far-Infrared Spectral Region

Yusuf S. Aytekin, Mustafa Koturk, Adam Zaczek, Timothy M. Korter, Edwin J. Heilweil, Okan Esenturk
One of the most commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory active pharmaceutical ingredient called Meloxicam has been characterized spectroscopically both by Terahertz (THz) time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)

Characterization of Interfacial Structure in Polymer-Fullerene Bulk Heterojunctions via 13C {2H} Rotational Echo Double Resonance NMR

July 13, 2018
Author(s)
Ryan C. Nieuwendaal, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Martin Heeney, Jan Hummelen, Chad R. Snyder, Ronald L. Jones, Sebastian Engmann, Lee J. Richter, Zhuping Fei, Alex Sieval
We introduce a new application of solid state NMR measurements towards characterizing the donor-acceptor interfaces within bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films. Rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) is used to measure dipolar couplings between 13C nuclei on

Polyelectrolyte association and solvation

July 10, 2018
Author(s)
Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
There has been significant interest in the tendency of highly charged particles having the same charge to form dynamic clusters in solution, but an accepted theoretical framework that can account for this ubiquitous phenomenon has been slow to develop. The

Creating a Mass Spectral Reference Library for Oligosaccharides in Milk

July 3, 2018
Author(s)
Concepcion A. Remoroza, Tytus D. Mak, M. L. De Leoz, Yuri A. Mirokhin, Stephen E. Stein
We report the development and availability of a mass spectral reference library for oligosaccharides in human milk. This represents a new variety of spectral library that includes consensus spectra of compounds annotated through various data analysis

The role of mass spectrometry in the characterization of biologic protein products

April 25, 2018
Author(s)
Deepali Rathore, John E. Schiel, Anneliese Faustino, Eric Pang, Michael Boyne, Sarah M. Rogstad
Introduction: Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely used in the characterization of biomolecules including peptide and protein therapeutics. These biotechnology products have seen rapid growth over the past few decades and continue to dominate the global
