Nature inspired bioengineering in Health and Bioeconomy
Roque, CecíliaNature is a source of inspiration for science and technology, generating several solutions that foster biotechnology and bioengineering, namely through new and personalized tools in Health, as well as new tools for Bioeconomy. We take inspiration from dynamic molecular recognition events in Nature to engineer biological and chemical tools that give rise to advanced functional materials. The first topic will add...
How does dilution affect the conductivity, the propensity to aggregate and the ...
Roque, Cecília; Andrade, Érica; Duarte, Luís; Costa, Margarida; Tavares, Ana Paula M.; Madeira, Pedro P.The current theories do not provide a convincing explanation for many of the protein' manifestations in solution. Therefore, to shed some light on this critical question, the present work analyzed the effect of dilution on the ability of proteins to catalyze chemical reactions, the so-called biological activity. As models enzymes, laccase from Trametes versicolor and chicken egg white lysozyme were used. The re...
