The Hallmarks of Copper Single Atom Catalysts in Direct Alcohol Fuel Cells and Electrochemical CO2 Fixation
(Wiley, 2021-01-22)
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are highly enviable to exploit the utmost utilization of metallic catalysts; their efficiency by utilizing nearly all atoms to often exhibit high catalytic performances. To architect the isolated ...
Size-Dependent Interaction of Amyloid β Oligomers with Brain Total Lipid Extract Bilayer - Fibrillation Versus Membrane Destruction
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-21)
Amyloid β, Aβ(1-42), is a component of senile plaques present in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients and one of the main suspects responsible for pathological consequences of the disease. Herein, we directly visualize ...
Nanomechanical characterization of single phospholipid bilayer in ripple phase with PF-QNM AFM
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-05-07)
Topography and nanomechanical properties of the supported 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) single bilayer in the ripple phase were investigated by atomic force microscopy with the use of PeakForce ...
CO2 Hydrogenation to Methane over Ni-Catalysts: The Effect of Support and Vanadia Promoting
(MDPI, 2021-03-28)
Within the Waste2Fuel project, innovative, high-performance, and cost-effective fuel production methods are developed to target the “closed carbon cycle”. The catalysts supported on different metal oxides were characterized ...
Bimetallic nanocatalysts supported on graphitic carbon nitride for sustainable energy development: the shape-structure–activity relation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-01-19)
The catalytic performance of metal nanoparticles (NPs), including activity, selectivity, and durability, depends on their shape and structure at the molecular level. Consequently, metal NPs of different size and shape, ...
Inhibition of Amyloid β-Induced Lipid Membrane Permeation and Amyloid β Aggregation by K162
(American Chemical Society, 2021-12-03)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration associated with amyloid β (Aβ) peptide aggregation. The aggregation of Aβ monomers (AβMs) leads to the formation of Aβ oligomers (AβOs), the ...
Alzheimer's disease-related amyloid β peptide causes structural disordering of lipids and changes the electric properties of a floating bilayer lipid membrane
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-06-27)
Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease is associated with disruption of the neuronal cell membrane by the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide. However, the disruption mechanism and the resulting changes in membrane properties remain ...
Amyloid β interaction with model cell membranes – What are the toxicity-defining properties of amyloid β?
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-01-21)
Disruption of the neuronal membrane by toxic amyloid β oligomers is hypothesized to be the major event associated with Alzheimer's disease's neurotoxicity. Misfolding of amyloid β is followed by aggregation via different ...
Bio-dee synthesis and dehydrogenation coupling of bio-ethanol to bio-butanol over multicomponent mixed metal oxide catalysts
(MDPI, 2021-05-22)
Within the Waste2Fuel project, innovative, high-performance, and cost-effective fuel production methods from municipal solid wastes (MSWs) are sought for application as energy carriers or direct drop-in fuels/chemicals in ...
Toxicity of selected airborne nitrophenols on eukaryotic cell membrane models
(Elsevier, 2021-03-06)
Nitroaromatics belong to the group of toxic components of aerosol particles and atmospheric hydrometeors that enter the atmosphere through biomass burning and fuel combustion. In the present work, we report on the cytotoxic ...
