We present a molecular theory to study the adsorption of different species within pH-sensitive hydrogel nanofilms. The theoretical framework allows for a molecular-level description of all the components of the system, and it explicitly accounts for the acid-base equilibrium. We concentrate on the adsorption of hexahistidine, one of the most widely used tags in bio-related systems, particularly...

Mustafa was told that if his son followed through with his plans, he and his family would suffer severe consequences: their home would be demolished, and Israel wo...

This is a report concerning a concurrent case of hemoglobin J Iran (Hb J Iran) and Hemoglobin H (Hb H) disease in an Iranian woman. The patient was coincidentally found during the course of routine pre-marital genetic counselling for her son.
