The use of enzymes for industrial and biomedical applications is limited to their function at
elevated temperatures. The principles of thermostability engineering need to be …

The application of fractal dimension-based constructs to probe the protein interior dates
back to the development of the concept of fractal dimension itself. Numerous approaches …

Herein, two genes (LBA0625 and LBA1719) encoding UGPases (UDP-glucose
pyrophosphorylase) in Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) were successfully …

A robust marker to describe mass, hydrophobicity and polarizability distribution holds the
key to deciphering structural and folding constraints within proteins. Since each of these …

A novel lactic acid bacteria strain Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens ZW3 exhibited the
characteristics of high production of exopolysaccharide (EPS). The epsN gene, located in …

Many areas of biochemistry and molecular biology, both fundamental and applications-
orientated, require an accurate construction, representation and understanding of the …

The essential question that fractal dimensions attempt to answer is about the scales in
Nature. This is not exactly a new question. From Euclid to Poincare to Mandelbrot, many …

Proteins are regularly described with some general indices (entropy, enthalpy, free
energies, hydrophobicity, denaturation temperature etc.), which are inherently statistical in …

Protein folding is one of the most challenging physiological phenomena which has intrigued
every discipline of research in science and several thousands researchers are working in …

Here we look at the interior of protein structures, as viewed through the prism of fractal
dimensions. History of application of fractal dimension-based constructs to probe protein …
