A neutral framework cation-free hydrophobic ITQ-29 molecular sieve membrane with hydrogen selectivity was prepared on porous α-Al(2)O(3) supports by using Kryptofix 222 as organic structure directing agent through secondary growth method.

Lignocellulolytic white-rot fungi allow the bioconversion of agricultural wastes into value-added products that are used in a myriad applications. The aim this work was to use corn residues (Zea mays L.) produce valuable under solid-state fermentation (SSF) with Pleurotus ostreatus. White-rot fungus P. ostreatus isolated from maize silage (MS) and thereafter it inoculated on MS as substrate com...

The interaction of antiarrhythmic drugs with ion channels is often described within the context of the modulated receptor hypothesis, which explains the action of drugs by proposing that the binding site has a variable affinity for drugs, depending upon whether the channel is closed, open, or inactivated. Lack of direct evidence for altered gating of cardiac Na channels allowed for the suggesti...
