1. BROMELAIN SEPARATION AND PURIFICATION PROCESSES FROM PINEAPPLE EXTRACT
Abstract The concern about the effective use of agro-industrial residues from the food industry has increased. Bromelain is an enzyme mainly obtained from the pineapple plant (A. comosus), including its parts normally considered as waste. It is a high value-added product with a wide variety of applications such as in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industr

2. Identification of a pore-forming protein from sea anemone Anthopleura dowii Verrill (1869) venom by mass spectrometry
Abstract Background: Pore-forming proteins (PFP) are a class of toxins abundant in the venom of sea anemones. Owing to their ability to recognize and permeabilize cell membranes, pore-forming proteins have medical potential in cancer therapy or as biosensors. In the present study, we showed the partial purification and sequencing of a pore-forming protein f

3. Nafion/sulfonated poly(indene) polyelectrolyte membranes for fuel cell application
Abstract Sulfonated poly(indene) (SPInd), with 35% and 45% degree of sulfonation, was blended with Nafion to prepare blended membranes with 10, 15 and 20 wt.% of SPInd. Membranes were evaluated by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Water uptake (WU), ion ex

4. IN SITU PREPARED TiO2 NANOPARTICLES CROSS-LINKED SULFONATED PVA MEMBRANES WITH HIGH PROTON CONDUCTIVITY FOR DMFC
Organic/inorganic membranes based on sulfonated poly(vinyl alcohol) (SPVA) and in situ prepared TiO2 nanoparticles nanocomposite membranes with various compositions were prepared to use as proton exchange membranes in direct membrane fuel cells. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was sulfonated and cross-linked separately by 4-formylbenzene-1,3-disulfonic acid disodi

5. Nanofiltration: ion exchange system for effective surfactant removal from water solutions
A system combining nanofiltration and ion exchange for highly effective separation of anionic surfactant from water solutions was proposed. The subjects of the study were nanofiltration polyethersulfone membranes and ion-exchange resins differing in type and structure. The quality of the treated solution was affected by numerous parameters, such as quality o

6. Synthesis and characterization of sulfonated poly(ether imide) with higher thermal stability and effect on CO2, N2, and O2 permeabilities
An experimental design in different reaction conditions was applied to modify poly(ether imide), PEI, by sulfonation using acetyl sulfate. Higher temperatures and reaction times led to higher ion exchange capacity. The thermal analysis showed that our sulfonation approach accomplished preparing sulfonated PEI maintaining the thermal stability of its parent m

7. Effects of hydrolysis and digestion in vitro on the activity of bovine plasma hydrolysates as inhibitors of the angiotensin I converting enzyme
The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibiting activity of bovine plasma hydrolyzates obtained by Alcalase 2.4 L at different degrees of hydrolysis (DH) was evaluated. For the evaluation of ACE inhibition (ACEI), Hippuryl-His-Leu was used as substrate and the amount of hippuric acid liberated by non-inhibiting ACE was determined by spectrophotometry at

8. Desenvolvimento de membranas mistas a base de poli(indeno) sulfonado e PVA reticulado com objetivo de aplicação em célula a combustível tipo PEM
The study on alternative membranes for use in fuel cells PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) has been conducted by different research groups worldwide. As the commercial membranes still have high cost and performance limitations in certain operating conditions of fuel cells powered by hydrogen and alcohol. This study aimed to evaluate non-fluorinated membranes pr

9. Vibrational and thermal characterization of Flemion® membranes / Caracterização vibracional e térmica de membranas flemion®
The behavior of Flemion® membranes on their many applications (among them, fuel cells) is function of series of parameters like how the ionic side groups arrange themselves inside the so called interconnected clustersinside the material. Such arrangement is also function of types and intensities of ionic interactions inside the clusters and how the membrane

10. Competitive adsorption of copper and mercury ions on natural and crosslinked chitosan membranes / Adsorção competitiva dos ions cobre e mercurio em membranas de quitosana natural e reticulada
Recent investigations have described chitosan, a linear polysaccharide obtained from deacetylation of chitin, as a suitable biopolymer to remove heavy metal ions from wastewater, since the amino and hydroxyl groups present in its structure can act as chelating sites. Several methods have been used to modify natural chitosan, such as crosslinking with glutara

11. Estudos estruturais de histatina-5 e seu análogo, TOAC0-histatina-5: interação com metais e sistemas biomiméticos / Structural studies of Histatin-5 and its analogue, TOAC0-Histatin-5: interaction with metals and biomimetic systems
The mechanism of action of histatin-5 (Hst-5), an antifungal antimicrobial peptide from human saliva is not completely clarified. Circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were used to examine the conformational behavior of Hst-5 and its analogue containing the paramagnetic amino acid TOAC at the N-terminus (TOAC0-Hst-5

12. Estudo da ação da peçonha do escorpião brasileiro Tityus serrulatuse de suas frações na inibição do crescimento de fungos / Antifungal properties of Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom and its major toxin TsTx-I.
Antimicrobial peptides appear to be ubiquitous and multipotent components of the innate immune defense arsenal used by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. They are used in the first line of immune defense. In this work, we evaluate the effects of Tityus serrulatus venom (Tsv) and its major toxin TsTX-I, a -neurotoxin, on fungi growth. TsTX-I was isola
