Functional and structural studies of the flavivirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase by Yap, Thai Leong

“…Initially the crystals diffracted poorly were markedly improved by the addition of divalent metal ions and air hydration, whichled to crystals with high resolution diffraction (1.85 A) thus making is possible to use molecular replacement to solve the structure.…”

Modulating optical and electrical properties of TiO2 photoanode in dye-sensitized solar cells by Pham, Thi Thu Trang

“…Through these studies, it was revealed that the presence of macropores reduced the recombination between electrons in TiO2 and electrolyte as well as enhanced the diffusion of I3- or Co3+ ions in electrolyte to improve mass transport. These enhancements became more significant when the right combination of dye and electrolyte were used to fabricate DSCs from the mesoporous-macroporous films. …”

Partial purification and characterization of molybdenum reducing enzyme from Escherichia coli strain K12 by Sulaiman, Mohd Haris

“…The effect of heavy metals on molybdenum blue production were studied. Thirteen metal ions and heavy metals were screened on E.coli. Mercury (Hg), Argentum (Ag), Copper (Cu) and Chromium (Cr) totally inhibited molybdate reductase enzyme while Zink (Zn), Nickel (Ni), Cobalt (Co), Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb) Aluminium (Al), Cadmium (Cd), and Magnesium (Mg) decreased the molybdenum reduction activity. …”

Structure and functions of a metallo-beta-lactamase- like hypothetical protein bleg1_2437 from alkali-tolerant soil bacterium Bacillus lehensis G1 by Tan, Soo Huei

“…Domain and sequence analysis of HP Bleg1_2437 using InterProScan and DELTA-BLAST revealed that this 23 kDa protein contains highly conserved metal-binding residues such as H54, H56, D58, H59, H131 and H191 that are similar with the those in subclass B3 of MBL that are involved in the coordination of two Zn2+ ions. The three-dimensional protein structure of Bleg1_2437 built using Modeller 9v10 exhibited an αββα sandwich layer similar to the well conserved global topology of MBL superfamily. …”

Magic v.3 : an integrated software package for systematic structure-based coarse-graining by Mirzoev, Alexander, Nordenskiöld, Lars, Lyubartsev, Alexander

“…We describe briefly the coarse-graining methodology, the structure of the software, describe users actions, and illustrate the whole process with two complex examples: cholesterol containing lipid bilayers and condensation of DNA caused by multivalent ions. Program summary: Program Title: MagiC Program Files doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/9gnfxyshj8.1 Licensing provisions: GPLv3 Programming language: Fortran, Python Nature of problem: Systematic bottom-up multiscale modeling is a complex multi-stage process, in which results of simulations of a high-resolution (atomistic) model are used to construct a low resolution (coarse-grained) model, providing the same structural properties for the coarse-grained system as for the high-resolution system. …”

Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoprism-based nanostructures by Mohammad Mehdi Shahjamali

“…This method involves the controlled reduction of gold ions on the silver nanoprism (site-selective reduction) in a highly controlled reducing environment by slowly introducing chloroauric acid and Hydroxylamine hydrochloride simultaneously into the Ag nanoprism solution with two separate tubes by using a mechanical syringe pump with specific concentration and infusion rate. …”
