Microbial Biopolymers in Biomedical Field
Biodegradable plastics has gained significant commercial interest in recent years as they are having similar properties to that of the synthetic plastic used now a days, they are completely bio-degradable, are produced from natural (microbial) sources and are biocompatible in human system. These properties make PHB as an ideal candidate for various applications in medical field. The present art...
متن کاملElastin-based Biopolymers for Biomedical and Biotechnological Applications
Perhaps the most appealing opportunity is represented by gaining inspiration from nature for the precise tailoring of biomaterials with finely tuned unique functional properties. A very promising model is represented by Human Elastin-Like Polypeptides (HELP), repetitive artificial polypeptides based on pentaor hexapeptidic motifs that characterize elastin. These protein polymers retain several ...
متن کاملMicrobial Production and Biomedical Applications of Lovastatin
Lovastatin is a potent hypercholesterolemic drug used for lowering blood cholesterol. Lovastatin acts by competitively inhibiting the enzyme, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Commercially lovastatin is produced by a variety of filamentous fungi including Penicillium species, Monascus ruber and Aspergillus terreus as a secondary metabol...
متن کاملThe future prospects of microbial cellulose in biomedical applications.
Microbial cellulose has proven to be a remarkably versatile biomaterial and can be used in wide variety of applied scientific endeavors, such as paper products, electronics, acoustics, and biomedical devices. In fact, biomedical devices recently have gained a significant amount of attention because of an increased interest in tissue-engineered products for both wound care and the regeneration o...
متن کاملStudies in Confined Biopolymers
In this work we analyze the theoretical aspects of a single polymer confined inside a cavity. The problem is of biological relevance since it is known, for instance, that molecules like proteins need an isolated environment in order to quickly and correctly reach their folded native state. The polymer is considered in the Grand Canonical ensemble of its monomeric units, where its average length...
