Molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 from indoor air samples in environmental monitoring needs adequate temporal coverage and infectivity assessment
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The relevance of airborne exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in indoor environments is a matter of research and debate, with special importance for healthcare low-risk settings. Experimental approaches to the bioaerosol sampling are ... -
Molecular Dynamic Simulations of Fibrous Distillation Membranes
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)The rate of heat and mass transfer through distillation membranes is typically estimated using an over-simplified, straight-cylindrical-pore approach coupled with several empirical correction factors that are included to ... -
Molecular dynamics and combined docking studies for the identification of Zaire ebola virus inhibitors
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Ebola virus (EBOV) is a lethal human pathogen with a risk of global spread of its zoonotic infections, and Ebolavirus Zaire specifically has the highest fatality rate amongst other species. There is a need for continuous ... -
Molecular dynamics of CH4/CO2 on calcite for enhancing gas recovery
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2022 , Article)The effect of temperature and pressure on the adsorption of CO2 and CH4 gases on calcite (104) has been studied by means of classical molecular dynamics. The results show that carbon dioxide greatly improves methane ... -
Molecular dynamics simulations to decipher the structural and functional consequences of pathogenic missense mutations in the galactosylceramidase (GALC) protein causing Krabbe's disease.
( Taylor & Francis , 2020 , Article)Krabbe disease (KD), also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy disease, is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage genetic disorder, which is caused by the deficiecncy of galactocerebrosidase (GALC) coding gene (). This ... -
Molecular dynamics, residue network analysis, and cross-correlation matrix to characterize the deleterious missense mutations in GALE causing galactosemia III.
( Springer , 2021 , Article)Epimerase-deficiency galactosemia (EDG) is caused by mutations in the UDP-galactose 4'-epimerase enzyme, encoded by gene GALE. Catalyzing the last reaction in the Leloir pathway, UDP-galactose-4-epimerase catalyzes the ... -
Molecular dynamics-based analyses of the structural instability and secondary structure of the fibrinogen gamma chain protein with the D356V mutation.
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)Mutations in the fibrinogen gamma chain (FGG) gene have been associated with various disorders, such as dysfibrinogenemia, thrombophilia, and hypofibrinogenemia. A literature survey showed that a residue exchange in ... -
