Kinetic and thermodynamic insights into the interaction of Aβ1–42 with astaxanthin and aggregation behavior of Aβ1–42: Surface plasmon resonance, microscopic, and molecular docking studies
Amyloid-β 1–42 (Aβ1–42) aggregation is considered as an important process in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Astaxanthin (ATX), a xanthophyll carotenoid, has a broad range of biological activities such as neuroprotective one. The present study aimed to elucidate the interaction of ATX with Aβ1–42, as well as its effect on Aβ1–42 aggregates under different…
Layer-by-layer assembly of lysozyme with iota-carrageenan and gum Arabic for surface modification of food packaging materials with improved barrier properties
The study aimed to investigate the surface modification of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of lysozyme (LZ) with two different polysaccharides, iota-carrageenan (IC) and gum arabic (GA), for food packaging applications. The effects of solution pH, adsorption time, elimination of intermediate drying steps were investigated. The LbL film growth was monitored up…
