Based on molecular dynamics simulations,we have studied the wetting behaviors of water on the talc-like surface with different surface polarity by modifying the charge distribution of surface hydroxyl(–OH)groups.With the change of the charge of the hydrogen atom(denoted asδq)in–OH group,the ...
As dental caries is typically mediated by biofilm, interventions targeting biofilm have become a major strategy for prevention. Adjusting the intake of fermentable substrates in the diet, especially sucrose is an effective approach3. The modern dietary environment is characterized by the widespread availa...

have been recorded to have body temperatures near 55–57 °C (Dong et al.2018; Liao et al.2019; Marshall et al.2011). Marine species differ greatly in the ranges of body temperatures they encounter, as well as in the absolute temperatures they face. Stenothermal polar species and many de...
Many important structural and mechanistic aspects of the antiport mechanism remain elusive: (1) Can antiporters be distinguished from other transporters (uniporters and symporters) based on their protein architecture and conformational transition mechanism? (2) How is the empty transporter prevented from...
It is possible that different bifunctional agents (X) such as ribose, ethylen glycol, aminoethanol, glycerol and others will become suitable. The probability of formation of such aminoacyl nucleotides in prebiotic conditions is not clear and have to be explored. Consequence 3. The molecular ...
Mechanistic studies revealed that the surface hydroxyl species on SiC QDs was directly involved in CO 2 hydrogenation through the addition of H atoms in hydroxyl groups into CO 2 to form HCOO* as the intermediate. The unique reaction path decreased the energy barrier for the formation of HCOO...
Arbutin and its many hydroxyl groups contribute to its ability to enhance cross-linking. PEG or PEG-based copolymers are also added to increase surface resistance to antimicrobial adhesion. In this regard, polydopamine-PEG coating seemed to work as both an anti-bio adhesive and an anti-biofouling...
Skin repair encompasses epidermal barrier repair and wound healing which involves multiple cellular and molecular stages. Therefore, many skin repair strategies have been proposed. In order to characterize the usage frequency of skin repair ingredients i
flavonoids are present in the form of glycoside in nature. Some aglycones and glycosides, such as quercetin/rutin and baicalein/baicalin, are paired. Glycosides also show potent bioactivity in many cases. For example, baicalin is proven to protect the skin from UV radiation, burning, and aging...
