Immobilization of blood coagulant factor VII on polycaprolactone membrane through polydopamine grafting by Gopal, Rathosivan, Md Shakhih, Muhammad Faiz, Sahalan, Mariaulpa, Lee, Te Chuan, Hermawan, Hendra, Sivalingam, Sivakumar, Kadiman, Suhaini, Saidin, Syafiqah

“…Further validation was done with XPS where the appearances of 0.45 ± 0.06% sulfur composition and C–S peak have confirmed the immobilization of FVII on the PCL membranes. The cross-linked FVIIs were viewed in spherical immobilization on the PCL membranes with a size range between 30 and 210 nm. …”

A novel role for peptidylarginine deiminases in microvesicle release reveals therapeutic potential of PAD inhibition in sensitizing prostate cancer cells to chemotherapy by Kholia, Sharadkumar Rajnikant, Jorfi, Samireh, Thompson, Paul R., Causey, Corey P., Nicholas, Anthony P., Inal, Jameel, Lange, Sigrun

“…INTRODUCTION: Protein deimination, defined as the post-translational conversion of protein-bound arginine to citrulline, is carried out by a family of 5 calcium-dependent enzymes, the peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) and has been linked to various cancers. Cellular microvesicle (MV) release, which is involved in cancer progression, and deimination have not been associated before. …”

Structural basis for the design of selective complexing agents for transition metals by Drummond, Laurel A.

“…The molecules reassemble macrocyclic systems, due to effective intramolecular hydrogen bonding linking the two ligands. To correlate chelating properties with intramolecular H-bond strengths an X-ray structural analysis was carried out on one ligand supplied by ICI, and thought to be 3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxy acetophenone methoxyimine. …”

Real time detection of malicious webpages using machine learning techniques by Ahmed, Shafi

“…The thesis proposes to use various machine learning algorithms, both supervised and unsupervised to categorise webpages based on parsing their features such as content (which played the most important role in this thesis), URL information, URL links and screenshots of webpages. The features were then converted to a format understandable by machine learning algorithms which analysed these features to make one important decision: whether a given webpage is malicious or not, using commonly available software and hardware. …”
