Classification and characterisation of a new antimicrobial peptide
... the design of a new AMP consisting of 11 amino acid residues with the following percentages: Val, Ala, Trp, Gly, Pro, Tyr, Glu, His, Lys by 9 % and Arg by 18 %. The total hydrophobic ratio in the peptide, determined by APD, is 27 %; the total net charge is +2.25. Its molecular formula is C64H96N21O15S0, with protein binding potential (Boman index) at 3.44 kcal/mol. The peptide can form an alpha helix. The resulting peptide can be classified as a synthesised cationic hydrophobic alpha-helical antimicrobial ...
Promising methods for detecting submarine groundwater discharge in the Baltic Sea and experience of their application
... sea. The discharge of waters with a composition sharply different from seawater leads to the formation of hydrochemical anomalies in the near-bottom horizon and alters the composition of bottom sediments. Under different regional conditions, discharge can occur as a focused flow through cracks in karst and fissured rocks, as a diffuse flow in loose deposits, or through the recirculation of seawater in bottom deposits. Therefore, it is essential to consider local geological and hydrogeological ...
