1. Nicotine as a Catalyst for Chlorination Promoted by Hypochlorous Acid: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
There is robust evidence of the hypochlorous acid (HClO)-mediated damage in biomolecules, and nicotine boosts the chlorination potency of HClO. We present experimental and theoretical evidence of the mechanism by which nicotine catalyzes the chlorination of pyranine. The rate constants for chlorination of pyranine by HClO were measured in the presence (5.3 �

2. BIOMARCADORES MOLECULARES DE DOENÇAS HUMANAS: CONCEITOS FUNDAMENTAIS, MODELOS DE ESTUDO E APLICAÇÕES CLÍNICAS
Molecular biomarkers correspond to all endogenous or exogenous biomolecules, whose presence or alteration in metabolic pathways indicate the response of a biological system to a disturbance caused by internal or external factors. The search for biomarkers has allowed deepening the knowledge of complex pathophysiological mechanisms of diseases, interactions w

3. On the Use of a TiO2 Sol-Gel for Horseradish Peroxidase Enzyme Immobilization for Development of an Amperometric Biosensor
The sol-gel technique has drawn considerable attention in the area of biomolecules immobilization by virtue of its intrinsic properties including chemical inertness, thermal stability, and good biocompatibility. The present work reports the development of a bio-sensing methodology which involves the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase enzyme (HRP) on pe

4. Synthesis, Characterization, Spectroelectrochemical, Photophysical and HSA-Binding Properties of Novel and Versatile meso-Tetra(4-pyridylvinylphenyl)porphyrins Coordinated to Ruthenium(II)-Polypyridyl Derivatives
The free-base meso-tetra(4-pyridylvinylphenyl)porphyrin (1a) and its zinc(II) complex were synthesized and then functionalized with [Ru(bpy)2Cl]+ units (2a and 2b) via conventional methods and evaluated in terms of photophysical, electrochemical and biological aspects. All porphyrins present moderate singlet oxygen production and fluorescence quantum yield,

5. Structural and biological properties of protein hydrolysates from seafood by-products: a review focused on fishery effluents
Abstract Enormous amounts of by-products and waste are generated during the processing of seafood, sometimes representing about 65% of the raw material employed. Seafood by-products (SB) include solid waste such as skin, head, viscera, trimmings, and bones; however, liquid wastes (effluents) derived from operations such as washing, thawing, cooking and the p

7. (Bio)conjugation Strategies Applied to Fluorescent Semiconductor Quantum Dots
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals, which present unique photophysical properties, enabling their application as new fluorescent platforms for biomedical sciences. Colloidal QDs are end-capped with organic or inorganic compounds, not only to prevent their agglomeration but also to provide reaction sites for the attachment of targeting (bio)mol

8. THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF 1-ETHYL-3-METHYLIMIDAZOLIUM CHLORIDE SOLUTION FROM 293.15 TO 323.15 K
ABSTRACT Aqueous systems composed of ionic liquid make up a new alternative for use in processes involving the separation of biomolecules. The objective of this experiment was to obtain the thermo-physical properties of density, refractive index, electrical conductivity, molar volume, thermal expansion coefficient and apparent specific volume of the ionic li

9. Water-Soluble Benzazole Dyes Fluorescent by ESIPT: Structural Characterization, Photophysical Properties and Its Application as a Probe for Direct Staining of Helminths
A series of four water-soluble benzazole dyes that emit fluorescence by the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism were structurally characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) attached proton test (APT) and mass spectrometry. Their photophysical properties were systemat

10. Sample Preparation Applied to Analysis of Proteins in Cowpea Seeds (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)
In this study, 20 different protocols for protein extraction of cowpea seeds in natura were evaluated taking into account four parameters: cell disruption method, time, temperature and solvent. Factorial design experiments were executed to determine the effects on the total protein content of extracts. The total protein content was determined and the results

11. Deep sequencing analysis of toad Rhinella schneideri skin glands and partial biochemical characterization of its cutaneous secretion
Abstract Background: Animal poisons and venoms are sources of biomolecules naturally selected. Rhinella schneideri toads are widespread in the whole Brazilian territory and they have poison glands and mucous gland. Recently, protein from toads’ secretion has gaining attention. Frog skin is widely known to present great number of host defense peptides and

12. The pequi pulp oil (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) provides protection against aging-related anemia, inflammation and oxidative stress in Swiss mice, especially in females
Abstract Continued exposure to reactive oxygen species and inflammation are the rationale behind aging theories and associated diseases. Scientific evidence corroborates the ethnomedicinal use of the oil of pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.), a typical Brazilian Cerrado fruit, against oxidative damage to biomolecules and inflammation. We aimed to investigate
