suppression of coke formation in thermal cracking by coke inhibitors
the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...
15 صفحه اولMisfolding and Amyloid Aggregation of Apomyoglobin
Apomyoglobin is an excellent example of a monomeric all α-helical globular protein whose folding pathway has been extensively studied and well characterized. Structural perturbation induced by denaturants or high temperature as well as amino acid substitution have been described to induce misfolding and, in some cases, aggregation. In this article, we review the molecular mechanism of the aggre...
متن کاملInitial process of amyloid formation of apomyoglobin and effect of glycosphingolipid GM1
Using small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering techniques it has been possible to clarify the helix-to-sheet (cross) transition and the stacking process of the crosssheet of apomyoglobin as a model for amyloid. The present results indicate that the crossformation and the pleated sheet stacking start concurrently and that the stacking continues progressively after the saturation of the crossf...
متن کاملCommon molecular mechanism of amyloid pore formation by Alzheimer’s β-amyloid peptide and α-synuclein
Calcium-permeable pores formed by small oligomers of amyloid proteins are the primary pathologic species in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the assembly of these toxic oligomers in the plasma membrane of brain cells remain unclear. Here we have analyzed and compared the pore-forming capability of a large panel of amyloid proteins including wild...
متن کاملA Possible Mechanism of Repressing Cheating Mutants in Myxobacteria
The formation of fruiting bodies by myxobacteria colonies involves altruistic suicide by many individual bacteria and is thus vulnerable to exploitation by cheating mutants. We report results of simulations that show how in a structured environment with patchy distribution of cheating mutants the wild type might persist. This work was inspired by experiments on myxobacteria Myxococcus xanthus r...
