Production and Characterization of Amylases from Zea mays Malt
In this work the α and β-amylase enzymes were obtained from maize (Zea mays) malt and were biochemistry characterized. A germination study to obtain the maize malt with good amylase activity was made. The maize seeds were germinated in laboratory and the enzymatic activity was measured daily. Activity dependence to germination time were fitted to an exponential model (A=A0e ), which showed that...
متن کاملIsolation and Partial Characterization of Ferredoxin from Zea mays.
Ferredoxins have been isolated and purified from several varieties of higher plants. These proteins appear to have similar molecular weights (10-12,000), contain 2 g-atoms of iron per mole, and support photoreduction of NADP with chloroplasts. Recently, great interest has been focused on some plant species that have a high photosynthetic capacity for CO, assimilation. These include many of the ...
متن کاملCloning and expression analysis of hemoglobin genes from maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis).
With the exception of barley and rice, little is known about the existence of hemoglobins (Hbs) in cereals. This work reports the cloning and analysis of hb genes from maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) and teosinte (Zea mays ssp. parviglumis). Coding sequences of maize and teosinte hb genes (hbm and hbt, respectively) are highly similar to each other and are interrupted by three introns located at ide...
متن کاملCarbon Dioxide Production by Dry Grain of Zea mays.
Use of the gas chromatograph and a mercury-to-glass sealed respirometer adapted for gas syringe sampling, allowed the rapid, accurate characterization of CO(2) evolution rates from live and from dead-sterile Zea mays L. grain dried to moisture levels of 12.6 to 1.4%. The live grain at the lowest moisture level showed an elevated rate inconsistent with the exponential increase in rate of CO(2) e...
متن کاملThe characterization of ligand-specific maize (Zea mays) profilin mutants.
Profilins are low-molecular-mass (12-15 kDa) cytosolic proteins that are major regulators of actin assembly in all eukaryotic cells. In general, profilins from evolutionarily diverse organisms share the ability to bind to G-actin, poly-(L-proline) (PLP) and proline-rich proteins, and polyphosphoinositides. However, the functional importance of each of these interactions remains unclear and migh...
