Approach: While screening for the potent natural glycosidase inhibitors, we found the fruits of Chaenomeles sinensis (C. sinensis), as the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 12,071 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe NifX Protein is Involved in the Final Stages of FeMo-cofactor Transport to the MoFe ProteinSurobhi Lahiri, Byron Cole, Lakshmi Pulakat, Nara GaviniThe nitrogenase enzyme catalyzes the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia and is composed of the Fe and MoFe proteins. The iron molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co) of the MoFe protein is the site of active substrate reduction. The NifX protein has also been suggested to have a role in the FeMo-co synthesis, although its exact role is still open to investigation. We … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Computer Use on Human Salivary Oxidant/Antioxidant Statusİmge B. Ergüder, İlker DurakComputers are widely used in recent years but their effects on human health completely are known. The aim of this study was to investigate possible effects of computer use on human salivary oxidant / antioxidant system. Ten subjects were included in the study. Three saliva samples were taken from the subjects. First was obtained before computer use, second and third … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,386 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Development of a New, Rapid, Amperometric Immunosensor for the Detection of Low Concentrations of Bacteria Part II: Optimization of the System for Escherichia coliEric Carnes, Ebtisam WilkinsThe optimization of a flow-through immunoassay system was conducted to achieve rapid detection of low concentrations of E. coli bacteria. The system includes a new immunosensor that uses newly developed, disposable immunofiltration membranes to yield a system that is sensitive as well as simple. Comparison of the performance of this system with conventional immunoassays demonstrated a significantly shorter time for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStudy on the Enhancement of Hypoglycemic and Antioxidant Activities of Compound Herbal Tea through Solid-State FermentationQing Liu, Xiaowen Que, Yueping Yang et al.This study utilized Aspergillus niger KY2295 for the Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) of a compound tea made from Cinnamomum cassia bark, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Morus abla L. leaf, and Crataegus oxyacantha L. to enhance its hypoglycemic effects. The fermentation process was optimized using single-factor experiments and a Central Composite Design (CCD), with α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities as evaluation indices. Following fermentation, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 20 May 2025 · 5,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordScreening of Dominant Cellulose-Degrading Microbe in Humus and Optimisation of its Enzyme Producing Conditions and Application Optimization of Enzyme Production Conditions and Evaluation of Efficient Straw Degradation by Penicillium oxalicumGailing Wang, Chendi Li, Yanan Guo et al.The slow degradation of returned straw adversely affects seedling survival rate. To shorten the degradation time of lignin in maize straw in warm temperate regions, a cellulolytic microbial strain that can secrete polymer with high enzymatic activity was isolated from the humus, which helped to identify an effective strain to expedite the decomposition of returned maize straw. Using the molecular … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 23 May 2023 · 5,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCharacterization of Crude Polyphenol Oxidase Activity in Buckwheat SproutsYuedong Song, Yangfang Zhang, Yilin Wang et al.Buckwheat sprouts can not only effectively reduce the trypsin inhibitor in buckwheat grain, but also improve the content of bioactive ingredients such as flavonoids and other effective components. However, Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) in buckwheat sprouts causes browning of food, which limits the application of buckwheat sprouts in food. In addressing this problem, studying the characteristics of PPO in buckwheat sprouts … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 6,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordGenomic Distance between Thymidylate Synthase and Dihydrofolate Reductase Genes Does Not Correlate With Phylogenetic Evolution in BacteriaVitor Hugo MoreauProblem statement: Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR) and Thymidylate Synthase (TS) exist as bifunctional enzymes coded into unique polypeptide chain in protozoans. Bifunctional DHFR-TS is associated with an increase in the enzymatic activity by channeling the substrate between the active sites. In some bacteria, DHFR and TS genes are neighbors in the genome, whereas in others, they are located millions of base … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,188 accessesView PDFCite
