40 µM), while 6 had a mixed-type inhibitory effect against α-glucosidase (Ki = 15.34 µM). Molecular docking simulations of 5 and 6 demonstrated negative-binding energies, indicating high proximity to the active site and tight binding to α-glucosidase enzyme. BACKGROUND Current practice patterns and opinions regarding subspecialization within ped…[Read more]

sinensis infection in Korea.The correct identification of filamentous fungi is challenging. We evaluated the performance of the VITEK MS v3.0 system (bioMérieux, Marcy-l’Étoile, France) for the identification of a wide spectrum of clinically relevant filamentous fungi using a Korean collection. Strains that were added to the upgraded v3.2 d…[Read more]

New nature-inspired and plant-derived p-hydroxycinnamate esters and p-hydroxycinnamate diesters provide excellent protection against UV radiation when incorporated into a matrix. Herein, an efficient and sustainable pathway is reported to graft these phenolic compounds onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) via click-type copper-catalyzed azide/alkyne…[Read more]
