In silico and in vivo models for Qatari-Specific classical homocystinuria as basis for development of novel therapies. by Ismail, Hesham M

“…Wildtype CBS, but not the p.R336C mutant, was able to restore the yeast growth in ΔCBS deficient yeast in a complementation assay. The p.R336C knock-in HEK293T and HepG2 cells decreased the level of CBS expression and reduce its structural stability; however, treatment of the p.R336C knock-in HEK293T cells with betaine, a chemical chaperone, restored the stability and tetrameric conformation of CBS, but not its activity. …”

Intercalation of ionic liquids into bentonite: Swelling and rheological behaviors by Nasser, M. S.

“…The basal d-spacing of the ILs intercalated bentonite in comparison with dried bentonite powder as detected by XRD results showed that the cations of the three ILs are successfully intercalated into the interlayer of the bentonite platelets by a cation exchange mechanism and the swelling is likely influenced by the cation size, type and concentration of the ILs. …”
