1. Challenges of TiO2-composite, as a visible active photocatalyst material for SARS-CoV-2 antiviral compared with the other viruses
The efforts in dealing with COVID-19 in various aspects are continuously being carried out, such as the photocatalytic process. Interestingly, TiO2 plays an important role as an environmentally friendly photocatalyst with a visible and UV absorption range. The increase in the antiviral performance of this compound is further maximized by formulating TiO2-bas

2. Moderate-intensity exercise allows enhanced protection against oxidative stress-induced cardiac dysfunction in spontaneously hypertensive rats
The progression of myocardial injury secondary to hypertension is a complex process related to a series of physiological and molecular factors including oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate whether moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) could improve cardiac function and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Eight-week-old male

3. 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

4. Sequence analysis of the cDNA encoding for SpCTx: a lethal factor from scorpionfish venom ( Scorpaena plumieri )
Abstract Background: Lethal factors are multifunctional oligomeric proteins found in the venomous apparatus of Scorpaeniformes fish. These toxins elicit not only an array of biological responses in vitro but also cardiovascular disorders and strong hemolytic, nociceptive and edematogenic activities in vivo. This work describes the cloning and molecular iden

5. 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

6. Homology modeling and epitope prediction of Der f 33
Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f), one of the main species of house dust mites, produces more than 30 allergens. A recently identified allergen belonging to the alpha-tubulin protein family, Der f 33, has not been characterized in detail. In this study, we used bioinformatics tools to construct the secondary and tertiary structures and predict the B and T cel

7. CspB of an arctic bacterium, Polaribacter irgensii KOPRI 22228, confers extraordinary freeze-tolerance
ABSTRACT Freezing temperatures are a major challenge for life at the poles. Decreased membrane fluidity, uninvited secondary structure formation in nucleic acids, and protein cold-denaturation all occur at cold temperatures. Organisms adapted to polar regions possess distinct mechanisms that enable them to survive in extremely cold environments. Among the co

8. Variation of structures of ingredients of desiccated coconut during hydrolysis by hydrochloric acid at low temperature
Abstract Owing to the high content of lignocellulose, desiccated coconut become a healthy material for dietary fiber supplementation. In this study, the changes in solubility of the fibers of desiccated coconut were evaluated. The changes of the pHs and weight losses were studied. Furthermore, variations of the ingredient structures of desiccated coconut by

9. Rattlesnake Crotalus molossus nigrescens venom induces oxidative stress on human erythrocytes
Abstract Background Globally, snake envenomation is a well-known cause of death and morbidity. In many cases of snakebite, myonecrosis, dermonecrosis, hemorrhage and neurotoxicity are present. Some of these symptoms may be provoked by the envenomation itself, but others are secondary effects of the produced oxidative stress that enhances the damage produce

10. Structure and histochemistry of medicinal species of Solanum
ABSTRACT Studies on native medicinal plants strengthen initiatives to preserve the environments where those species naturally occur, many of them already strongly menaced even before their potential to humankind is known. Root and stem barks, leaves, and pericarps samples of Solanum agrarium Sendtn., S. lycocarpum A. St.-Hil., S. palinacanthum Dunal, S. pani

11. Molecular cloning of a hyaluronidase from Bothrops pauloensis venom gland
Background Hyaluronate is one of the major components of extracellular matrix from vertebrates whose breakdown is catalyzed by the enzyme hyaluronidase. These enzymes are widely described in snake venoms, in which they facilitate the spreading of the main toxins in the victim’s body during the envenoming. Snake venoms also present some variants (hyaluron

12. Identification of two novel cytolysins from the hydrozoan Olindias sambaquiensis (Cnidaria)
Background : Although the hydrozoan Olindias sambaquiensis is the most common jellyfish associated with human envenomation in southeastern and southern Brazil, information about the composition of its venom is rare. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze pharmacological aspects of O. sambaquiensis venom as well as clinical manifestations observed in affec
