1. A QUÍMICA DOS SANEANTES EM TEMPOS DE COVID-19: VOCÊ SABE COMO ISSO FUNCIONA?
In December 2019, the first case of severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19), caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was reported and the disease was declared as a worldwide pandemic in March 2020. As there is no vaccine currently available, the daily hygiene cleaning habits and social distance are the ways to fight COVID-19 indicated by the WHO. Han

2. Effects of artepillin C on model membranes displaying liquid immiscibility
It has been hypothesized that the therapeutic effects of artepillin C, a natural compound derived from Brazilian green propolis, are likely related to its partition in the lipid bilayer component of biological membranes. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effects of the major compound of green propolis, artepillin C, on model membranes (small and g

3. Peptidomic analysis of the venom of the solitary bee Xylocopa appendiculata circumvolans
Abstract Background: Among the hymenopteran insect venoms, those from social wasps and bees - such as honeybee, hornets and paper wasps - have been well documented. Their venoms are composed of a number of peptides and proteins and used for defending their nests and themselves from predators. In contrast, the venoms of solitary wasps and bees have not been

4. Quality changes during frozen storage of blue shrimp (Litopenaeus stylirostris) with antioxidant, α-tocopherol, under different conditions
Fresh blue shrimp (Litopenaeus stylirostris) muscle was stored with antioxidants under different conditions: ANTIOX 2%, packed in bilayer film of polyamide-low density polyethylene film (PA-LDPE) with 2% α-tocopherol; ANTIOX 4%, packed in PA-LDPE film with 4% α-tocopherol; and ANTIOX-GLAZED, samples stored glazed with 2% α-tocopherol. Shrimps packed in PA

5. Lepromatous leprosy patients produce antibodies that recognise non-bilayer lipid arrangements containing mycolic acids
Non-bilayer phospholipid arrangements are three-dimensional structures that form when anionic phospholipids with an intermediate structure of the tubular hexagonal phase II are present in a bilayer of lipids. Antibodies that recognise these arrangements have been described in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and/or systemic lupus erythematosus and in

6. Dispersões lipídicas de dimiristoil fosfatidilglicerol: um estudo termo-estrutural / Lipid dispersions of dymiristoyl phosphatidylglycerol: a thermo-structural study
Dispersions of the saturated anionic phospholipid dimyristoyl phosphatidyl glycerol (DMPG) have been extensively studied regarding their peculiar thermo-structural behavior. At low ionic strength, the gel-fluid transition is spread along nearly 17 ºC, displaying several thermal events in the calorimetric profile, quite different from the single sharp peak a

7. Urease de Canavalia ensiformis : processamento diferencial por ninfas e adultos de Dysdercus peruvianus e formação de canal in vitro
Ureases são enzimas que realizam hidrólise da uréia em amônia e dióxido de carbono e são isoladas de plantas, fungos e bactérias. A urease de C. ensiformis (JBU) tem algumas atividades biológicas independentes da sua atividade enzimática, como por exemplo: agregação plaquetária e efeito inseticida. O efeito inseticida é devido à liberação de

8. Structural properties of lipid reconstructs and lipid composition of normotensive and hypertensive rat vascular smooth muscle cell membranes
Multiple cell membrane alterations have been reported to be the cause of various forms of hypertension. The present study focuses on the lipid portion of the membranes, characterizing the microviscosity of membranes reconstituted with lipids extracted from the aorta and mesenteric arteries of spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) and normotensive control rat stra

9. Estudo das propriedades eletricas das hemacias utilizando pinça optica / Study of electrical properties of red blood cell using optical tweezers
The red blood cell (RBC) membrane contains proteins and glycoproteins embedded in a fluid lipid bilayer that confers viscoelastic behavior. Sialylated glycoproteins of the RBC membrane are responsible for a negatively charged surface, which creates a repulsive electric zeta potential (Z) between the cells.The compact layer of charge or Stern consists of ions

10. Molecular dynamics of articaine in POPC membranes / Dinamica molecular de articaina em membranas POPC
We studied the interactions of articaine - a local anesthetic widely used for me- dical and odontological applications - with model membranes of POPC (palmitoyl-oleyl-phosphatidylcholine) at biological relevant conditions. We have employed molecular dynamics technique, which allowed us to investigate the system at molecular level. Firstly, we applied quantum

11. Development of membrane biosensors and characterization of the interactions between cytochrome c and hybrid bilayer membranes by Surface Plasmon Resonance / Desenvolvimento de biosensores de membranas e caracterização da interação entre citocromo c e bicamadas híbridas por ressonância plasmônica de superfície
The aim of this work was to develop membrane biosensors based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and to apply them to study the interactions between cytochrome c (cyt c) and model membranes. SPR is an optical technique that provides high-sensitivity measurements of refractive index (n), allowing the characterization of the adsorption and desorption of molecu

12. Caracterização estrutural de agregados formados pelo antifúngico anfotericina B e lipídios catiônicos: uma possível formulação farmacológica / Structural characterization of aggregates formed by the antifungal drug amphotericin B and cationic lipids: a possible pharmacological formulation
Amphotericin B (AB) is a natural antibiotic, produced by Streptomyces nodosus, with a very potent antifungal activity. It is a polyene macrolide molecule, isolated in 1953. Since then, it has been extensively used in the treatment of systemic mycotic infections. Considering AB very low solubility in aqueous medium, it has been largely used as an aqueous disp
