Foam quality is an important index for judging the quality of beer. In this experiment, the interaction between PZ and iso-α-acid extracted from hops and its effect on beer foam production were investigated. According to the results of fluoresc...

Near-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a widely used method that provides, among others, information about the tertiary structure of biomolecular systems such as proteins, RNA, or DNA. Experimental near-UV CD spectra of proteins reflect the...

To ensure high-quality honey, and to delay crystallization or fermentation, honey is subjected to heat treatment. The heating process, as well as the duration and storage conditions, can lead to an increased level of 5-HMF (5-hydroxymethylfurfural),...

Cyclacenes with the general formula C4nH2n are cyclic analogs of acenes. Acenes are well-known for their high reactivity, which increases with the number of fused benzene rings. The cyclic strain, absence of a Clar sextet, and diradical or polyradica...

Biomaterials and biomembranes play a crucial role in a variety of applications, particularly in the medical field due to their ability to mimic natural biological structures and functions. Crosslinkers play also an important role in enhancing the str...

A plasma-assisted electrochemical deposition (PAECD) technology was introduced to coat a cast iron brake disc for the possible reduction of brake wear and brake wear particle (BWP) emission. The majority of the coating consisted of alumina (Al2O3), d...

Proline is considered the model organocatalytic amino acid. However, other naturally occurring amino acids remain a potent and perhaps overlooked source of organocatalytic potential. In this work, we investigated the capacity of various natural amino...

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the chemical composition and bioactive properties of six newly cultivated varieties of pigmented and non-pigmented rice: Neunkeunheukchal (NKH), Neunkeunssal, Heukjagwang 709 (H709), Heukjagwang 1601, H...

The complexation behavior of lanthanide(III) ions with terephthalic acid (1,4-benzene-dicarboxylic acid) in 0.01 M KNO3 aqueous solutions was studied across a broad pH range and at two metal-to-ligand ratios using potentiometric titration combined wi...

The electronic and phonon bands of Skaergaardite are investigated using density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO. Skaergaardite is a copper palladium mineral (CuPd) found in the Skaergaard intrusion with a CsCl-type (B2) str...
