X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to examine the surface modification and formation of graphene.
It is evident that after conversion into activated carbon and chemical modification of the low-cost adsorbents, originating of plant waste, improved the adsorption capacity of adsorbent due to the higher number of binding sites after modification and formation the new functional groups that are projected to metal ion uptake.
It has also been demonstrated that surface modification of CNTs, in general, improves the adsorption capacity of adsorbents probably due to the increased number of active binding sites resulting from surface modification and formation of new functional groups that favors the adsorption of synthetic dyes.
Another alternative could be blocking gliadin domains with synthetic peptides and thus preventing tTG modification and formation of immunostimulatory epitopes.
Collagens are laid during the proliferation phase while maturation of fibers at the final stage of wound healing involves gradual change of the collagen types, their enzymatic modification and formation of complexes with other protein components of ECM.
Cleavage of the peptide bond, amino acid modification, and formation of cross-linked peptide aggregates happen during protein oxidation by ROS that leads to formation of protein derivatives possessing highly reactive carbonyl groups (ketones and aldehydes) which are involved in the complications of diabetes and many age-related diseases [ 66].
The decrease in positron lifetime parameters of ion-irradiated sample is attributed to the free volume modifications, and the formation of more stable free radicals on cross-linking.
SnO2, with high theoretical capacity of 1494 mAh g−1, is a promising candidate anode material, which has been explored with various strategies, such as dimensional reduction, morphological modifications and composite formation.
Circadian regulatory pathways result in rhythmic epigenetic modifications and the formation of circadian epigenomes.
Results from this study point to a conserved mode of secondary metabolite (SM) biosynthesis regulation in fungi by chromatin modifications and the formation of facultative heterochromatin.
