DOES PECTIN METHYLATION MODULATE ITS ANTIMICROBIAL POTENTIAL? INSIGHTS FROM MOLECULAR DOCKING
Pectin is widely studied due to its favorable physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and non-toxic nature. Methylation of pectin represents a natural structural modification occurring within plant cell walls and is considered part of the defense mechanism against microbial pathogens. In this study, molecular docking analysis was performed t...

AUTOMATA AS COALGEBRAS IN CATEGORY OF MATRICES
This paper considers automata as models of systems used for information processing and computational execution. Special attention is devoted to the coalgebraic approach and the category of matrices as modern methods for the formal description of dynamic and state-based systems. By viewing automata as coalgebras, it becomes possible to model system ...

INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO SAMPLING OF MICROPLASTICS IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT
MARPOL recognises various types of marine pollution, including oil, garbage, sewage, and greenhouse gases pollutions. Garbage-sourced microplastics (MP), due to their small size and high resistance coupled with their chronic biological effects, pose a serious omnipresent environmental threat. This paper's research was motivated by the lack of metho...
