The fact that polymers ... deformation such as hydrophobic mismatch or other short-range effects, (ii) the protein conformation energy, and (iii) the work done by membrane tension. Apparently, the ...

Hydrophobic polymers are materials that repel water, making them ideal for applications where moisture resistance is crucial. These polymers possess unique chemical structures that result in their ...

Lipid-polymer nanoparticle hybrids (LPNHs) have been developed to exploit and combine the positive characteristics of these nanosystems, while trying to minimize their unique disadvantages. LPNHs ...

We have studied taste sensors with lipid polymer membranes based on potentiometric measurement system for high-potency sweeteners. However, the sensor also responds to astringency substances because ...

High L-tryptophan concentrations (50 mol% respect to total lipid concentration) induced a higher amount of sixand nine-unit polymers. This phenomenon was induced because the ... It has an amphiphilic ...
