Mechanistic Understanding of Toxicity from Nanocatalysts
Nanoparticle-based catalysts, or nanocatalysts, have been applied in various industrial sectors, including refineries, petrochemical plants, the pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industry, food processing, and environmental remediation. As a result, there is an increasing risk of human exposure to nanocatalysts. This review evaluates the toxicity of popular nanocatalysts applied in industri...
متن کاملMechanistic Understanding of Spray Drying
Purpose Spray drying is a growing technology in the pharmaceutical industry with several enabling applications in modern drug delivery. Its understanding is still vastly empirical, mainly in what relates to the particle formation step. Consequently, the design spaces are typically defined through costly experiments and their statistical interpretation. The purpose of this study is to examine th...
متن کاملMembrane Binding of Recoverin: From Mechanistic Understanding to Biological Functionality
Recoverin is a neuronal calcium sensor involved in vision adaptation that reversibly associates with cellular membranes via its calcium-activated myristoyl switch. While experimental evidence shows that the myristoyl group significantly enhances membrane affinity of this protein, molecular details of the binding process are still under debate. Here, we present results of extensive molecular dyn...
متن کاملTowards Mechanistic Understanding of Mercury Availability and Toxicity to Aquatic Primary Producers.
The present article reviews current knowledge and recent progress on the bioavailability and toxicity of mercury to aquatic primary producers. Mercury is a ubiquitous toxic trace element of global concern. At the base of the food web, primary producers are central for mercury incorporation into the food web. Here, the emphasis is on key, but still poorly understood, processes governing the inte...
متن کاملMechanistic Understanding of Lanthipeptide Biosynthetic Enzymes
Lanthipeptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that display a wide variety of biological activities, from antimicrobial to antiallodynic. Lanthipeptides that display antimicrobial activity are called lantibiotics. The post-translational modification reactions of lanthipeptides include dehydration of Ser and Thr residues to dehydroalanine and dehydr...
