Nanoscale infrared spectroscopy (AFMIR) is becoming an important tool for the analysis of biological sample, in particular protein assemblies, at the nanoscale level. While the amide I band is usually used to determine the secondary structure of proteins in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, no tool has been developed so far for AFMIR. The paper introduces a method for the study of secondary structure of protein based on a protein library of 38 well-characterized proteins. Ascending stepwise linear regression (ASLR) and partial least square (PLS) regression were used to correlate spectrum characteristic bands with the major secondary structures (α-helixes and β-sheets). ASLR appears to provide better results than PLS. The secondary structure predictions are characterized by a root mean square standard error in a cross validation of 6.39% for α-helixes and 6.23% for β-sheets.

This study aimed to explore the effects of egg albumin protein addition (5, 15 and 20 g/100 g db) on the textural characteristics, as well as in the in vitro digestibility of protein and starch of wheat bread. Egg albumin addition resulted in smoother bread loaves as compared to traditional wheat bread. Reduced hardness and increased cohesiveness were correlated to the protein secondary structure, mainly with the content of β-sheets.

Purpose: Management of discourse is acknowledged as a critical component of speech-language pathology practice with cognitive communication after traumatic brain injury (TBI). This scoping review aimed to collate the visual materials that are being used in empirical research for spoken narrative elicitation post-TBI, in both assessment and treatment contexts. We aimed to examine the format, structure, and sources for visuals used.

Background: The concept of psychological vulnerability is associated with the individual's maladaptive cognitive beliefs, such as self-criticism, perfectionism, and the need for external validation and approval, reducing the individual's ability to cope with negative life experiences. This study aimed to explore psychometric proprieties of the Psychological Vulnerability Scale in secondary school students.
Methods: A psychometric study was conducted with a non-probabilistic sample of 1,875 secondary school students (55.
