Ever wondered how tiny charged molecules like peptides can make a big difference? Scientists took a close look at how peptides with different charges—neutral (T0), negative (T8-), and positive (T9+)—affect α-amylase, an enzyme used in various industries. Using advanced techniques like protein electr
Ever wondered how certain chemicals break down when hit by light? Scientists used a smart computer model to figure this out for nitroaromatic compounds. These compounds are known to release a gas called NO when they break down. The scientists used something called Gaussian process regression, a type
The world is running out of clean water. Scientists are searching for better ways to turn salty water into fresh water. One popular method is forward osmosis (FO), which uses less energy and is cheaper. In this study, scientists used computer simulations to test a new kind of FO membrane made from t
