Article Abstract

The aim of the present review is to give a concise analysis of the thermodynamic parameters obtained from isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) experiments for the characterization of the self-organization of surfactants into micelles. This review is also focused on works describing some methods allowing to overcome ITC limitation and to extract accurate thermodynamic values from ITC data.

Arrhythmogenic calmodulin variants D131E and Q135P disrupt interaction with the L-type voltage-gated Ca channel (Ca1.2) and reduce Ca-dependent inactivation.

Acta Physiol (Oxf)

Aim: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphism ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) are inherited cardiac disorders often caused by mutations in ion channels. These arrhythmia syndromes have recently been associated with calmodulin (CaM) variants. Here, we investigate the impact of the arrhythmogenic variants D131E and Q135P on CaM's structure-function relationship.

Designing efficient drug delivery systems for optimum therapeutic outcomes and minimum adverse effects remains a pivotal focus in pharmaceutical research. Understanding the nature of interactions between drugs and drug carriers and the drug-release mechanism are the key aspects for the development of effective delivery systems. This work presents a detailed investigation into the intricate interactions between niosomes and the drug Phenosafranin (PSF), and the subsequent release induced by a variety of cyclodextrins (CDs) employing a multifaceted approach.

The development of stable biopharmaceutical formulations, such as monoclonal antibodies, poses a great challenge in the pharmaceutical industry. This study investigated the stabilizing effect of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) in liquid and solid formulations of infliximab during processing and storage. The solid formulation was produced by a scaled-up high-speed electrospinning method, resulting in a product suitable for reconstitution with excellent dissolution properties.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a nonspecific phosphatase, and its interaction with substrates mainly depends on the recognition of phosphate groups on the substrate. Previous enzymatic research has focused mainly on the enzymatic reaction kinetics of the inorganic small molecule p-nitrophenol phosphate (pNPP) as a substrate, but its interaction with biomacromolecule substrates has not been reported. In current scientific research, ALP is often used for molecular cloning, such as removing the 5' termini of nucleic acids.
