Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEcophysiological Studies on Saudi Wild Safflower (Carthamus Oxyacantha Bieb) Seed EcotypesSulaiman Mohammed Al Fadal, Mohammed Abd-Elwahab Al-FredanCarthamus oxyacantha is a widespread wild safflower species in Middle Eastern countries and northwestern India, including Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare four C. oxyacantha ecotypes collected from different regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Al-Hassa, Al-Kharaj, Najran and Al- Jouf. Analysis of variance showed significant effects … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 8 Aug 2015 · 7,562 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON NIGERIAN MONODORA TENUIFOLIA SEEDEkeanyanwu Raphael Chukwuma, Njoku Obioma UzomaThe nutritive constituents of the seeds of Monodora tenuifolia were analyzed to augment the available information on Monodora tenuifolia research. Blood glucose and lipid profile were investigated on the flavonoid rich fraction of M. tenuifolia in rats. The composition (gkg-1) of alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, tannins and flavonoids were 13.3±0.1, 21.2×10-2±0.6, 1.3±0.1, 1.7±0.1 and 11.7±1.1 respectively. The proximate composition (gkg-1) of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient Composition of Dandelions and its Potential as Human FoodAbdel E. Ghaly, Deepika Dave, Nesreen MahmoudTwo thirds of the world’s populations are suffering from protein malnutrition and about 36 million people die every year due to hunger. Expansion of present agriculture practices into marginal land is not expected to solve the problem of increasing the food supply. New methods of feeding the ever increasing world population must be developed. The aim of the study was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 10,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Incidence of Disorder-Promoting Amino Acids in the Amino Terminus of Mature Proteins in Bacillus subtilisGuangqiang Wang, Yining Dong, Haiqin Chen et al.Problem statement: Exported polypeptides are usually synthesized as preproteins which are composed with mature domains and the signal peptides. The foreign proteins are usually inefficiently secreted by the aid of signal peptides. Although we know that the mature protein played an important role in the protein export process, we do not know what properties of the mature domains are critical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 2 Feb 2012 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction, Purification and Characterization of Fish Chymotrypsin: A ReviewLiang Zhou, Suzanne M. Budge, Abdel E. Ghaly et al.Problem statement: Solid fish waste is generated from the unwanted parts of fish including heads, tails, fins, frames, offal (guts, kidney and liver) and skin. It accounts for up to 80% of material from production of surimi, 66% from production of fillet and 27% from production of headed and gutted fish. Currently, fish wastes are disposed off in land-based waste … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2011 · 10,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcid-Base Buffering Properties of Five Legumes and Selected Food in vitroMaher M. Al-Dabbas, Khalid Al-Ismail, Ruba Abu Taleb, Salam IbrahimProblem statement: in vitro acid-Buffering Capacity (BC) values of 5% (dry matter) aqueous homogenized suspension of five legumes (broad bean, lentils, chickpea, kidney bean and lupine) and of selected antacid home preparations (cow's milk, almond, peanut, licorice, carob and lettuce stem) were investigated within and among samples from their respective initial pH until pH was decreased to 1.5. BC was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2010 · 9,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
