Evaluation of keratin templates on dermal regeneration of full-thickness burns by Moay, Zi Kuang

“…Two versions of foams have been designed; the first being a hybrid foam consisting of THPs crosslinked with alginate (KA) using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS), while the second consists entirely of human hair keratins (HHK) which relies on its self-assembly properties. …”

Biomolecular hydration in protein-protein interaction, protein stability and aggregation and lead optimization : computational studies by Mohan Rajan Pradhan

“…"JAL‟ provides 3 novel utilities that have not yet been reported in other software packages: (1) computation of residence times of waters which are then used to rapidly identify water bridges involving multiple waters (2) rapid computation of buried waters in an explicit solvent MD trajectory using a novel “evaporation” technique and (3) a structure based search to compute the likelihood of favorably displacing interfacial waters; this method contrasts well with other available sophisticated but computationally expensive free energy methods. …”
