The bioactive components of EOs may have several cellular targets including inhibition of ATP production, cell wall and cell membrane damage, cytoplasmic coagulation, and alteration of ion transport [146] (Figure 6). Figure 6. Schematic illustration of the mechanisms of antimicrobial activities of ...
(2007) revealed that catechins can attach to the ATP binding site of the gyrase B subunit and thus suppress the DNA gyrase of bacteria [231]. In vitro and animal experiments have shown that polyphenol compounds might suppress the generation of water-insoluble glucans, and this might be the ...
Nucleotides on clay polymerize preferentially in the 3′-5′ orientation, as in life, and not in the non-biological 2′-5′ orientation [92]. A Molecular Dynamics study of montmorillonite indicated that mica would have an advantage over montmorillonite because nucleotide polymerization in the 3...
