Protein-protein interactions virtually regulate all processes inside cells, e.g. signal transduction, metabolic regulation, gene regulation, and immunological responses which occur in a specific way. Several experimental methods are capable of detecting interactions between proteins, which can range from cellular "resolution" to experiments which expose atom level interactions. However, the performance of these combined experiments which generate complete information regarding the network of pro ...

This project aims to study nutritional factors and establish new types of diets for tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus), pintado ( Pseudoplatystoma corruscans), tambaqui ( Colossoma macropomum) and marine shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei.), species inserted into production chains still incipient in Brazil. Due to the differentiated state of each species, studies were conducted in oreder to fill the nutritional gaps in key technological areas in which each species had greate ...

Due to the crescent quest for renewable energy sources, the biodiesel production from renewable sources has created exceeding amounts of glycerol as a biodiesel sub-product. Currently, the most important consumer markets for glycerol are the industries of food, drinks, cosmetics, paper, ink, lubricants and resin. Thusly, studies that aim to find new uses, and open new consumer markets for glycerol have been strongly stimulated, and have been increasingly challenging scientists of practically all
