Physico-chemical properties reflect the functional and structural characteristics of a protein. The comparative study of the physicochemical properties is important to know role of a protein in exploring its molecular evolution. A number of online and offline tools are available for calculating the physico-chemical properties of a single protein sequence. However, a tool is not available for a ...

The purpose of this paper is to list and discuss briefly some of the causes of chemical and physico-chemical disintegration of concrete and to point out some methods that can be used to study these causes. In this paper a distinction is made between physico-chemical (or chemico-physical) and mechanical causes of failure. Processes involving changes in chemical composition (chemical reactions pr...

The aim of current study was to isolate and evaluate the starch from Chenopodium album (LP) and Chenopodium album (LS) varieties for its physicochemical, particle size analysis, and textural properties. The starch isolated from C. album (LP) and C. album (LS) showed yield values of 37.59 and 47.30%, while amylose content of the mentioned varieties was found to be 16.75 and 19.11%, respectively....

The objective of this paper deal with the physico chemical aspects of certain colouring plants namely. Bixa orellana Linn. (Leaves) and Lawsonia inermis Linn (Leaves). The determined data under the physico chemical, chromatographic and spectrophotometric studies can be taken as a pharmacopoeial standards.

This study reports on understanding the formation of bubbles in ionic liquids (ILs), with a view to utilising ILs more efficiently in gas capture processes. In particular, the impact of the IL structure on the bubble sizes obtained has been determined in order to obtain design principles for the ionic liquids utilised. 11 ILs were used in this study with a range of physico-chemical properties i...

A new class of compounds, called as ionic liquids, has recently emerged as potential substitute for volatile organic solvents. Ionic liquids possess certain special physico-chemical characteristics that render them very useful in different areas of research and development. In this review, the physico-chemical properties and the applications of ionic liquids in chemical processes are critically...

Present work focused on the seasonal variations in the physico-chemical parameters of the freshwater temple pondPrayagtirth at Trimbakeshwar in Nashik district during summer, monsoon and winter. A total 15 parameters were analysed and their seasonal variation is discussed. The correlation matrix of the various physico-chemical parameters are computed and analysed.

One of the most important goals in molecular biology is to elucidate the relationship among sequence, structure, function and properties of biomolecules. Such knowledge would enable us to design the modifications of biomolecules for particular functions, and drugs to modify the function and property of biomolecules. Now, the number of entries in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) is over 10,000. These...

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity using different in vitro assays and nitric oxide synthase activation property of crude water soluble polysaccharide from P. ostreatus. The polysaccharide was isolated by hot water extraction and physico-chemical investigation revealed that it contained high amount of carbohydrate (mostly β-glucan) and low amount of protein and ph...

Cortical bone, constituting the outer shell of long bones, is continuously renewed by bone cells in response to daily stimuli. This process, known as bone remodelling, is essential for proper bone functioning in both physiological and pathological conditions. Classical bone remodelling models do not, or only implicitly do, take into account physico-chemical phenomena, focussing on the mechanose...
