Structure-Transport Relationships in Aqueous Fructose Solutions: A Combined Molecular Dynamics and NMR Diffusion Study

Abstract Fructose is widely used in the food industry and is proposed as a sustainable biomass feedstock for chemical manufacturing. Upon dissolution in water, it undergoes mutarotation into different tautomers, primarily β-d-fructopyranose (68%) and β-d-fructofuranose (22%), as...

Co-Adsorption of Novobiocin and Three Common Surfactants on Polystyrene: Molecular Insights from Experiments and Simulations

Abstract In several environments, including wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), plastics encounter surface-active molecules such as antibiotics and surfactants, essential components of consumer products, detergents, and drugs. In these conditions, synergistic and antagonistic ef...
