Chirality plays a crucial role in the self-assembly of biomolecules nature. Peptides show chirality-dependent conformation and self-assembly. Lipidation peptides occurs vivo has recently been exploited designed conjugates to drive enhance bioactivity. Here, library pH-responsive homochiral heterochiral lipidated tripeptides designed. The lipopeptides comprise C16–YKK or C16–WKK (where all amino acids are l-isomers), two C16–Ykk C16–Wkk lysines d-isomers). synthesized aqueous solution was...
A series of tripodal (three-arm) lysine-based peptides were designed and synthesized their self-assembly properties in aqueous solution antimicrobial activity investigated. We compare the behaviors homochiral (KKY)3K a homologue containing bulky aromatic fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group Fmoc-(KKY)3K, heterochiral analogues k (d-Lys), (kkY)3K Fmoc-(kkY)3K. The molecular conformation solutions probed using various spectroscopic techniques, along with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)...
Silicon heterojunction technology (Si-HJT) consists of thin amorphous silicon layers on monocrystalline wafers and allows for photovoltaic solar cells with energy-conversion efficiencies above 20%, also at industrial-production level. This article reports how this may be achieved. First, we focus the surface-passivation mechanism intrinsic doped films in such cells, enabling record-high values open-circuit voltage. Next, industrial upscaling large-area reactors film deposition is discussed,...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has grown dramatically in both size and complexity since its inception 2009. One the areas that seen interesting developments is resource-constrained devices. Evidently such devices require careful engineering to better manage resources as energy memory, whilst still ensuring acceptable performance. choice software architecture implementation are two key decisions for systems. microservices been proposed, by a number researchers, promising approach IoT. However,...
LoRa emerged as one of the most promising technologies in Internet Things. It brought possibility transmitting over very long distances (in kilometers range), at low energy cost and using unlicensed frequency band. This allows construction low-cost networks with massive area coverage, no obstructions are present. When obstacles exist field, or expected, a characterization coverage turns out to be necessary order implement fully operational network. is particularly relevant orchards tree...
En este artículo se establece una comparación entre la programación de dos segundos canales públicos televisión; Canal Sur 2 y RTP2, que es segunda cadena Televisão Pública Portuguesa. Con análisis pretende demostrar hay paralelismo los contenidos emiten en televisión esta analogía señala ambos casos con más calidad quedan relegados a canales. El objetivo investigación dar conocer situación conseguir organismos competentes recuperen para el primer canal formatos dan valor pública.
