Few studies have examined the association of a wide range of metabolites with total and subtypes of coffee consumption. The aim of this study was to investigate associations of plasma metabolites with total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated coffee consumption. We also
A design template for membrane active antibiotics against microbial and tumor cells is described. The template is an amino acid sequence that combines the properties of helminth defense molecules, which are not cytolytic, with the properties of host-defense peptides, which

Picosecond spectroscopy under a confocal microscope is employed to study solvation dynamics of coumarin 153 (C153) inside a single giant lipid vesicle (1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, DLPC) of diameter 20 μm. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) indicates that the diffusion coefficient (D(t)) of the

The vibrational spectroscopy of hydration water in dilauroylphosphatidylcholine lipid multi-bilayers is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations and a mixed quantum/classical model for the OD stretch spectroscopy of dilute HDO in H(2)O. FTIR absorption spectra, and isotropic and anisotropic pump-probe decay
