1. Spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometrics to study organic matter in tropical soils with different degrees of pedogenetic evolution
Understanding of the organomineral interactions in soil can elucidate the humic substances (HS) formation and the humification process. This study aimed to structurally characterize the humic acids (HA) formed in tropical soils with different pedogenesis degrees. The HA fraction was extracted from soil samples in the superficial horizons of an Inceptisol and

2. 2-(Pyridin-4yl)benzothiazole and Its Benzimidazole-Analogue: Biophysical and in silico Studies on Their Interaction with Urease and in vitro Anti-Helicobacter pylori Activities
In this study, the interaction between benzothiazole (BTA, concentration of a drug required for 50% inhibition in vitro (IC50) = 0.77 mM) and benzimidazole (BIA, IC50 = 2.14 mM) with urease was quantitatively assessed, using UV-Vis, molecular fluorescence, and circular dichroism. The results showed that both compounds interact with urease by a static fluores

3. What is the best Cardiovascular Risk Score for the Brazilian Population?
Malaria, a parasitic infection caused by Plasmodium falciparum, is a serious global public health problem. The enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase present in a limiting step in the biosynthesis of fatty acids type II was used to search for novel molecules with potential inhibitor by virtual screening techniques. A flavonoid library obtained in

5. Activated Complex Approach to Describe Bovine Serum Albumin-Azure A and Bovine Serum Albumin-Azure B Intermolecular Interactions
Azure A (AZA) and azure B (AZB) phenothiazine dyes are used for clinical and medical purposes, and their functions can be altered via interactions with proteins. However, no kinetics information on the interactions between phenothiazine dyes and bovine serum albumin (BSA) is available. Surface plasmon resonance was used to determine the energetic and dynamic

6. Micelas de caseína: dos monômeros à estrutura supramolecular
Resumo A importância primária das micelas de caseína reside no fato de que os processos empregados na transformação do leite em quaisquer de seus derivados dependem, direta ou indiretamente, de sua estabilidade ou de sua desestabilização controlada. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar uma revisão atualizada sobre a organização estr

7. Identification, expression and characterization of the recombinant Sol g 4.1 protein from the venom of the tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata
Abstract Background: Fire ant venom is a complex mixture consisting of basic piperidine alkaloids, various biologically active peptides and protein components, including a variety of major allergenic proteins. Tropical fire ant Solenopsis geminata is an important stinging ant species that causes anaphylaxis and serious medical problems. Although the biologi

8. Multiple Spectroscopic and Theoretical Approaches to Study the Interaction between HSA and the Antiparasitic Drugs: Benznidazole, Metronidazole, Nifurtimox and Megazol
The interaction between four antiparasitic drugs (benznidazole (BZL), metronidazole (MTZ), nifurtimox (NFX) and megazol (MZ)) with human serum albumin (HSA), the main vehicle of biodistribution of xenobiotics, hydrophobic, small and endogenous molecules in the bloodstream, was evaluated by multiple spectroscopic techniques and theoretical calculations. In al

9. Use of Amphiphilic Composites based on Clay/Carbon Nanofibers as Fillers in UHMWPE
In this work, it is proposed a new strategy to improve the dispersion of inorganic fillers in polymeric matrices by producing surface carbon nanostructures. Clay/carbon nanofibers particles were prepared and used as fillers to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Thermogravimetry (TG), differenti

10. Effect of Acetonitrile and N,N-Dimethylformamide on the Formation of Poly(ethylene oxide)-Sodium Alkyl Sulfate Aggregates
The effects of low contents of acetonitrile (AN) or N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) on the aggregation of sodium alkyl sulfate surfactants, in the absence and presence of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), were investigated using conductivity and isothermal titration calorimetry. The cosolvents slightly changed the critical micellar concentrations and did not alter the

11. Insights into cytochrome bc1 complex binding mode of antimalarial 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones through molecular modelling
BACKGROUND Malaria persists as a major public health problem. Atovaquone is a drug that inhibits the respiratory chain of Plasmodium falciparum, but with serious limitations like known resistance, low bioavailability and high plasma protein binding. OBJECTIVES The aim of this work was to perform molecular modelling studies of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones

12. A Study of the Interaction Between trans-Dehydrocrotonin, a Bioactive Natural 19-nor-Clerodane, and Serum Albumin
The interaction between 19-nor-clerodane trans-dehydrocrotonin (from Croton cajucara Benth.) and bovine serum albumin was studied, applying spectroscopic techniques (fluorescence and circular dichroism), combined with molecular modeling. Fluorescence quenching of albumin by the nor-clerodane (kq ca. 1011 mol L-1 s-1 and Stern-Volmer, KSV, increase with tempe
