Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry Study on the Degradation of B-Aflatoxins in Maize with Aqueous Citric AcidA. Méndez-Albores, I. Nicolás-Vázquez, R. Miranda-Ruvalcaba, E. Moreno-MartÍnezDegradation of B-aflatoxins in maize by means of 1N aqueous citric acid was confirmed by the AFLATEST immunoaffinity column method, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and computational information. The AFLATEST and HPLC assays showed that 96.7% degradation occurred in maize contaminated with 93 ng g-1 when treated with the aqueous citric acid. Two major products, produced … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,054 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,527 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntracellular L-Asparaginase from Bacillus sp. PG02: Purification, Biochemical Characterization and Evaluation of Optimum pH and TemperatureFatemeh Izadpanah Qeshmi, Mahsa Rahimzadeh, Sedigheh Javadpour, Manijeh PoodatBacterial L-asparaginases are amidohydrolases that act on L-asparagine and produce L-aspartate and ammonia. These enzymes have been used in treatment of lymphoblastic leukemia. In the present study, a novel strain, Bacillus sp. PG02 was explored for the production of intra-cellular L-asparaginase enzyme. The nitrogen source for L-asparaginase production was L-asparagine. New intracellular L-asparaginase was purified using ion exchange chromatography and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2015 · 7,484 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis of Well-Defined Vinyl End-Functional Polystyrene Using Multifunctional Initiator by Atom Transfer Radical PolymerizationSamiul Islam Chowdhury, Roushown Ali, Tariqul HasanAtom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) has proven to be a powerful technique to obtain polymers with narrow polydispersities and controlled molecular weight. It also offers control over chain-ends. N-allyl-2-bromopropinamide (ABPN) was synthesized by one step reaction which involved on amidification of 2-bromo-propionyl bromide with allyl amine. 1H NMR has confirmed the structure of the ABPN. The well-defined polystyrene was synthesized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 13 Sep 2015 · 7,053 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Characterization and Motif Election of Neurotoxins from Snake VenomMahmudul Hasan, Ziaul Faruque Joy, Elius Hossain Bhuiyan, Md Shiful IslamSnake venom is a mixture of many biological components. Snakes usually use their venomic armory to tackle different prey and predators in adverse natural world. Among various components of the snake venom, neurotoxins play an important role in exerting effect by blocking the neuromuscular transmission through selective binding to muscle nicotinic Acetyl-Choline Receptors (nAChR). A set of 30 reference protein … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 Mar 2015 · 7,706 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Physical Characterization of Hydrophobin-Like Proteins (HLP) from Aerial Conidia of Metarhizium Anisopliae Var. AnisopliaeD. S.B. Kiong, Choon Fah J. Bong, P. J.H. KingThe aim of this study was to isolate and physically characterized Hyrophobin-Like Proteins (HLP) from the aerial conidia of two local isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae, namely, TA and LR2. The protein samples were isolated based on their insolubility in hot Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS). The SDS-insoluble proteins were then purified in cold 98% formic acid and performic acid. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 29 Jan 2015 · 7,778 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Optimum Values of Descriptors to Set Filters for Synthetic Tri-Pyrrole Derivatives (Prodiginines) Against Multi Drug Resistant Strain of Plasmodium FalciparumVijay H. Masand, Devidas T. Mahajan, Eslam Pourbasheer et al.In the present study, we have carried out extensive non-linear Quantitative-Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis to correlate in vitro anti-malarial activity against multi drug resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Forty-three synthetic prodiginines with different structural features were used for their potential antimalarial activity. Linear, bilinear, biexponential and parabolic equations were developed. These equations were compared to determine the optimum values … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jan 2015 · 14,146 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrated Supercritical Fluid Extraction and BioprocessingOwen Catchpole, Stephen Tallon, Peter Dyer et al.Supercritical fluids are increasingly being used and promoted at a laboratory and pilot scale to produce high value, natural bioactives from biologically based raw materials. Supercritical CO2 is overwhelmingly the solvent of choice for these operations, but is largely limited to the processing of dry raw materials and the extraction of low polarity, low molecular weight compounds. The use of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 9,498 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico, In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of Safety and Anti-inflammatory Activity of CurcuminM. Venkata, R. Sripathy, D. Anjana et al.Problem statement: Curcumin the active component of turmeric is known for its wide biological actions. Extensive studies on curcumin highlighted its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-coagulant activity.
