Structural biology workflow for the expression and characterization of functional human sodium glucose transporter type 1 in Pichia pastoris
(Nature Research, 2019)
Heterologous expression of human membrane proteins is a challenge in structural biology towards drug discovery. Here we report a complete expression and purification process of a functional human sodium/D-glucose co-transporter ...
Femtosecond laser settings for optimal bracket bonding to zirconia
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
Bonding orthodontic brackets to ceramic materials is a challenging procedure; femtosecond (FS) laser conditioning could provide
improved results, but the ideal settings for effective bracket-zirconia bonding have never ...
Lipid Headgroup Charge and Acyl Chain Composition Modulate Closure of Bacterial β-Barrel Channels
(MDPI, 2019-02)
The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria contains β-barrel proteins that form high-conducting ion channels providing a path for hydrophilic molecules, including antibiotics. Traditionally, these proteins have been ...
Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 by a chitosan/α-Ag2WO4 composite generated by femtosecond laser irradiation
(Nature Research, 2022)
In the current COVID‑19 pandemic, the next generation of innovative materials with enhanced anti‑
SARS‑CoV‑2 activity is urgently needed to prevent the spread of this virus within the community.
Herein, we report the ...
Role of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Viroporins E, 3a, and 8a in Replication and Pathogenesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018)
Viroporins are viral proteins with ion channel (IC) activity that play an
important role in several processes, including virus replication and pathogenesis.
While many coronaviruses (CoVs) encode two viroporins, severe ...
Investigation of pressure drop in 3D replicated open-cell foams: Coupling CFD with experimental data on additively manufactured foams
(Elsevier, 2019-12-01)
Open-cell foams as structured catalyst supports are promising candidates for the design of high throughput catalytic processes. In this contribution, we employ a coupled numerical and experimental approach to assess the ...
State-of-the-art and limitations in the life cycle assessment of ionic liquids
(Elsevier, 2019-01-19)
Even though the development and use of ionic liquids (ILs) has rapidly grown in recent years, in the literature, information addressing the environmental performance of these substances in a life cycle context is comparatively ...
Ultrathin Acoustic Parity-Time Symmetric Metasurface Cloak
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)
Invisibility or unhearability cloaks have beenmade possible by using metamaterials enabling light or sound to flow around obstacle
without the trace of reflections or shadows. Metamaterials are known for being flexible ...
Combining Modulated Techniques for the Analysis of Photosensitive Devices
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2021-09-03)
Small-perturbation techniques such as impedance spectroscopy (IS), inten-sity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS), and intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) are useful tools to characterize and model ...
Engineered Diffraction Gratings for Acoustic Cloaking
(American Physical Society, 2019)
We show that engineered diffraction gratings can considerably simplify the design of acoustic ground
cloaking devices. Acoustic reflecting gratings are designed in such a way that all the incident energy is
channeled ...
