    Abstract : The computational prediction of complex molecular behaviors is an essen- tial component of modern chemistry, as it provides a faster and more cost- effective way to explore molecular interactions that may be difficult or even impossible to study experimentally. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of- ten serve as a valuable tool for such predictions; however, their accuracy is inherently dependent on the force field (FF) parameters employed. READ MORE

  4. 4. Spray-Dried Powders for Inhalation : Particle Formation and Formulation Concepts

    Author : Jessica Elversson; Göran Alderborn; Anna Millqvist-Fureby; Lars Hovgaard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutics; Spray drying; Particle formation; Density; Protein formulation; Encapsulation; Coating; Competitive adsorption; Polymer; ESCA; AFM; FTIR; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci;

    Abstract : Spray drying is a method with a high potential in the preparation of protein particles suitable for pulmonary delivery. However, surface induced denaturation of bio-molecules during atomization and subsequent drying can be substantial and it is therefore important to develop new formulation concept for concurrent encapsulation and stabilization of proteins during spray drying.
