Molecular interactions of tannic acid with proteins associated with SARS-CoV-2 infectivity
(MDPI, 2022-02-27)
The overall impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on our society is unprecedented. The identification of small natural ligands that could prevent the entry and/or replication of the coronavirus ...
Insights on the effect of water content in carburizing gas mixtures on the metal dusting corrosion of iron
(Elsevier, 2021-12-07)
Constituents of syngas, such as water, carbon monoxide and sulfides, can cause the degradation of the steel pipes
they move through, leading to carbon dusting and corrosion. In spite of considerable attention to this ...
Pressure effect on diffusion of carbon at the 85.91◦ 100 symmetric tilt grain boundary of α-iron
(American Physical Society, 2021-04-19)
The diffusion mechanism of carbon in iron plays a vital role in carburization processes, steel fabrication, and metal dusting corrosion. In this paper, using the kinetic activation-relaxation technique (k-ART), an off-lattice ...
Corilagin and 1,3,6-Tri-O-galloyl-β -D-glucose : potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 variants
(2021-06-28)
The COVID-19 disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, first detected in December 2019, is still
emerging through virus mutations. Although almost under control in some countries due to effective
vaccines that are mitigating ...
Diffusion mechanism of bound Schottky defect in magnesium oxide
(American Physical Society, 2021-03-25)
In simple ionic crystals, intrinsic point defects must satisfy electrical neutrality and exist as Schottky defects.
In magnesium oxide (MgO), a Schottky defect is then a combination of anionic and cationic vacancies. ...
Polyphenol-peptide interactions in mitigation of Alzheimer’s disease : role of biosurface-induced aggregation
(IOS Press, 2021-05-08)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder,
responsible for nearly two-thirds of all dementia cases. In this review, we report the potential AD
treatment strategies focusing on ...
Mitigating Alzheimer’s disease with natural polyphenols: a review
(Bentham Science, 2019-03-14)
According to Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), nearly 50 million people worldwide were living with dementia in 2017, and this number is expected to triple by 2050. Despite years of research in this field, the root ...
