Chemical protein synthesis has become a potent tool for the synthesis of proteins, especially those which are not easily accessed by DNA recombinant methods, such as proteins with posttranslational modifications. The key ...
Lipidomics is a subset of metabolomics, which in turn, is one of the categorical platforms that constitute omics. Omic sciences aim at the study of the abundance and (or) structural characterization of a broad range of ...
The Immune System (IS) is a complex collection of tissues, organs, cells and molecules to defense the body against threatens. IS is organized into two lines of defense: innate immunity which acts in a non-specific manner ...
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is able to produce by a single direct measurement a very high amount of chemical information. However, this information is not always easy to interpret. In fact, the complexity ...
1. The Force Field Accuracy Problem. The utility and applicability of MD simulations to model biomolecular systems goes only as far as its ability to sufficiently sample the conformational space and the correct description ...
This PhD thesis has been developed in the Molecular Magnetism Group of the University of Barcelona. As its name indicates, the Molecular Magnetism Group is mostly interested in the magnetic study of coordination complexes, ...
The main objective of this research work was to produce environmentally friendly cermets coatings, Ni and Co free matrix, alternative to conventional WC- Co, by thermal spray processes. WC-Co cermets has always been one ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. It was first described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer. Later on, in 1984 George Glenner and Colin Masters isolated the amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide from a human brain ...
Exposure to nanoparticles has been associated with adverse effects on human health. When the exposure route is inhalation, nanoparticles can cause pulmonary inflammation which may be more severe than from fine particles, ...
Dust has been used as a surrogate of indoor organic contamination for several decades. Their concerns for human health include from sensitization effects such as allergies to toxic effects derived from those organic ...
Durant les dècades dels anys 50 i 60 del segle XX es van utilitzar arreu del món diferents tipus de compostos organoclorats i organobromats, que pertanyen als contaminants orgànics persistents (COPs), com a pesticides, ...
En la presente tesis doctoral se desarrollaron métodos analíticos para la determinación de fármacos de uso humanos en el tejido muscular de los peces, incluyendo la comparación y optimización de diferentes tipos de ...
In recent decades, global plastics production and consumption have continued to increase. Although many policy strategies on waste prevention and recycling have been implemented, much of the plastic waste is dispersed in ...
Modern medical treatments are largely based on the ability of pharmacological drugs to interact with a molecular target in the human body (e.g., receptors) in order to evoke a physiological response. Such targets are ...
[eng] Drug discovery is the process by which new drugs are found and developed into the market. Given the scope of this thesis, the term “drug” will refer to small molecules and the term “target” to proteins, otherwise ...
Carbohydrates were early considered important for energy storage and structural support for living organisms. It was not until a few decades ago that scientist discovered that they are also involved in much more complex ...
En esta tesis doctoral se han desarrollado tres metodologías analíticas para el análisis de drogas, psicofármacos y sus metabolitos en tres compartimentos medioambientales: aguas residuales, sedimentos y biota. Las ...
The assessment of pesticide occurrence in different environmental compartments has become a matter of outstanding importance since its effects on exposed organisms may be considered a warning on the potential risk these ...
In this thesis is presented the development of different analytical methodologies for the analysis of marine biotoxins in seawater. The objectives were the development of the methods and the application to study the biotoxins ...
Natural toxins include a multitude of toxic secondary metabolites produced by animals, bacteria, fungi algae, and plants that are generally not intended as environmental contaminants of concern for water quality. However, ...
