چکیده
In recent years, ultrasound (US) has been successfully used in a large number of crucial bioprocesses such as upregulation of enzymatic hydrolysis (biocatalysis). Ultrasound treatment or pretreatment are supposed to activate/accelerate enzyme catalysis enhancing product formation. Such methods might offer high efficiency of enzymatic bioconversion and production of new biologically active peptides. We present here a short overview of the possible effects of ultrasound exposure to improve enzymatic processes and to minimize operational costs in biotechnological applications aiming to biomedical field.

متن کاملMicrolattice Metamaterials for Tailoring Ultrasonic Transmission with Elastoacoustic Hybridization
Materials with designed microscale architectures, like microlattices, can achieve extreme mechanical properties. Most studies of microlattices focus on their quasistatic response, but their structural dimensions naturally prime them for ultrasonic applications. Here we report that microlattices constitute a class of acoustic metamaterials that exploit elastoacoustic hybridization to tailor ultr...
