Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleFunctional Evaluation of Polydioxanone Threads Coated with Polyethylene Glycol and Amino Acids for Medical ApplicationEunji Park, Tae Su Jang, Jae Kyung KimPolydioxanone (PDO) is a biodegradable polymer with multiple medical applications. Recently, various coatings have been applied to products made of biodegradable polymers, in order to improve functionality. Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) hydrogels have demonstrated remarkable potential in accelerating wound healing and amino acids have been reported to stimulate protein synthesis in vivo and in vitro. The purpose of this study was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 24 May 2024 · 5,599 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPermeability, Strength and Filtration Performance for Uncoated and Titania-Coated Clay Wastewater FiltersMasturi, Silvia, Mahardika Prasetya Aji et al.Problem statement: Wastewater problems continue to be a relevant issue, particularly in urban areas. One promising low-cost material for manufacturing porous ceramics as water filter is clay. Clays can be blended with other materials such as polymers to obtain functional ceramic materials. Approach: Ceramic wastewater filters were fabricated from clay using both sol-gel and simple mixing methods followed by hot-pressing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 29 Feb 2012 · 8,395 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Effects of Drought and Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pennisetum divisum (Gmel.) Henr.Wafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem statement: Water stress due to drought and salinity is probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant and also crop growth and development. Salinity and drought stresses are physiologically related, because both induce osmotic stress and most of the metabolic responses of the affected plants are similar to some extent. Water deficit affects the germination of seed and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 27,311 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhotoacoustic Measurement of Thermal Diffusivity of Polypyrrole Conducting Polymer Composite FilmsM. Y. Lim, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, A. Kassim, H.N.M.E. MahmudThe thermal diffusivity has been measured for the Polypyrrole-Polyethylene Glycol (PPy-PEG) composite films by the open photoacoustic method. The experimental data were analyzed for thermal diffusivity by fitting procedure. The different process parameters such as different concentrations of insulating polymer, monomer and electrolyte and the different voltages used to prepare the PPy-PEG composite films brought changes in thermal diffusivity. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,692 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStabilization of Tyrosinase-Bovine Serum Albumin Crystals by GlutaraldehydeD. Norouzian, A. Akbarzadeh, M.H. Abnosi et al.Tyrosinase and bovine serum albumin were co-crystallized by saturated ammonium sulfate solution(65%) and 20% polyethylene glycol ( PEG) 6000 and n-propanol as co-solvents .The obtained crystals were cross linked by glutaraldehyde solution(1% v/v).Polyethylene glycol 6000 was found to be better co-solvent than n-propanol. The developed biocatalyst could be recycled 6 times without further loss of tyrosinase activity. No loss of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,194 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPurification of A Recombinant Thrombin-like Enzyme, Gloshedobin by Egg Yolk Antibody-Coupled AdsorbentsQing Yang, Xuyu Lei, Jianqiang Xu, Lijia AnThe gloshedobin, a snake venom thrombin-like enzyme was biosynthesized in the soluble form and purified by egg yolk antibody-coupled adsorbents from E. coli. As His-tag is not favored from the point of view of high-level and soluble expression, we herein constructed a recombinant gloshedobin without His-tag and developed a novel egg yolk antibody (IgY)-immunoaffinity chromatography for its purification in a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,690 accessesView PDF Cite
