1. The role of relative humidity on crystallization of calcium carbonate from calcium acetoacetate precursorAndreja Pondelak, Francesca Rosi, Celeste Maurich, Costanza Miliani, Srečo D. Škapin, Andrijana Sever Škapin, 2019, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Calcium acetoacetate, Ca(OAcAc)2, was exposed 7, 30 and 365 days to different values of relative humidity (33%, 48%, 75% and 96%) at 40 °C in order to study its transformation to CaCO3. The resulting Ca(OAcAc)2 decomposition and the time dependence of the phase transformations were monitored and critically evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. The impact of relative humidity on CaCO3 polymorph formation was thoroughly assessed. In all of the conditions used and for all ageing periods, the formed crystal structure is found to be vaterite. At the lowest relative humidity (33%), the amorphous CaCO3 remains more or less almost untransformed even after one year of exposure. It is proposed that the reason for the stability of amorphous CaCO3 is due to the limited amount of physisorbed water on the surfaces of the particles, which is considered the driving force for its transformation. However, the carbonation process is faster in the case of the highest humidity (96%). The findings are not only important for better solutions in the field of cultural heritage, but also shed new light on the fundamental mechanism of CaCO3 crystallization.

9. Postulates for validating TLR4 agonistsMateja Manček Keber, Roman Jerala, 2015, pregledni znanstveni članek Povzetek: TLRs play a central role in the innate immune response, recognizing a variety of molecular
structures characteristic of pathogens. Although TLR4, together with its co-receptor
myeloid differentiation-2 (MD-2), recognize bacterial LPS and therefore Gram-negative
bacterial infections, it also plays a key role in many other pathophysiological processes,
including sterile inflammation and viral infection. Specifically, numerous endogenous
agonists of TLR4 of notably diverse nature, ranging from proteins to metal ions, have
been reported. Direct activation of a single receptor by such a range of molecular signals
is very difficult to explain from a structural and mechanistic point of view. It is likely
that only a subset of these directly activate the TLR4–MD-2 complex. We propose three
postulates aimed at distinguishing the direct agonists of TLR4 from indirect activators.
These postulates are as follows: (i) that the agonist requires the TLR4/MD-2 receptor complex;
(ii) that agonist formed synthetically or in situ must activate the receptor complex
in order to eliminate artifacts of contamination by other agonists; and (iii) that a specific
molecular interaction between the agonist and TLR4/MD-2 must be identified. The same
type of postulates can be applied to pattern recognition receptors in general. Ključne besede: TLR4 agonists, molecular mechanism, ligand recognition Objavljeno v DiRROS: 26.01.2015; Ogledov: 4901; Prenosov: 456 Povezava na datoteko |
