Revealing solvent-dependent folding behaviour of mycolic acids from Mycobacterium tuberculosis by advanced simulation analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Groenewald, W., Parra-Cruz, R. A., Jäger, C. M., & Croft, A. K. (2019). Revealing solvent-dependent folding behaviour of mycolic acids from Mycobacterium tuberculosis by advanced simulation analysis. Journal of Molecular Modeling, 25(3), Article 68. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00894-019-3943-5

Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains a persistent pathogen, partly due to its lipid rich cell wall, of which mycolic acids (MAs) are a major component. The fluidity and conformational flexibilities of different MAs in the bacterial cell wall significan...

Oil refineries collectively account for about 4–6% of global CO2 emissions and Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) units are responsible for roughly 25% of these. Although post-combustion and oxy-combustion have been suggested to capture CO2 released from...
