Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessing of α-Amylase Activity of Midgut in Wheat Bug Eurygaster mauraMohammad Mehrabadi, Ali R. BandaniTo determine of α-amylase activity in the midgut of Eurygaster maura, some of adult insect was collected and their gut isolated and characterized. Enzyme samples from midguts of adults were prepared by the method of Cohen with slight modifications. α-Amylase activity was assayed based on Bernfeld method by the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) procedure. The activity of α-amylase in midgut was … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,625 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Putative Serine protease from Larval Midgut of Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Partial Purification and Biochemical CharacterizationAhmed Al Jabr, Mahmoud Abo-El-SaadA putative serine protease was isolated and partially purified from larval midgut of red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) using anion exchange chromatography, DE-52. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of this protease showed that the major band has a molecular weight of approximately 24 kDa corresponding to the same molecular weight of mammalian trypsin. In addition, zymography … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,018 accessesView PDF Cite
