Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Inference of the Antioxidant Process of Malic Acid and Its Structural AnalogsHan Wu, Wenhao Dong et al.Two structural analogs of Malic Acid (MA), 2-isopropylmalic Acid (2-IPMA), and 3-isopropylmalic Acid (3-IPMA) were recently identified and separated from wine. Although they have been shown to have antioxidant activity, the mechanism of their actions is still unclear. Antioxidant activities of 2-IPMA and MA were tested through DPPH, ABTS, and PTIO methods and the antioxidant-related thermodynamic properties were evaluated using … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2024 · 4,824 accessesView PDFCite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
