Mangroves have wide applications in folk medicine since ages due to the presence of several bioactive compounds. This study aims to explore the antimicrobial activity of ten mangroves commonly found in Indian Sundarban region namely Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina, Avicennia officinalis, Excoecaria agallocha, Sonneratia caseolaris, Sonneratia apetela,Aegiceres corniculatum, Acanthus ilicifoliu...

Basella alba fruit with dark blue skin and deep red violet flesh is a potential source of natural colorant. This study was aimed to evaluate the total betacyanin content, total phenol and to analyse the antioxidant activity against DPPH radical, superoxide anions, hydroxyl radical, metal chelating, hydrogen peroxide, FRAP, ABTS and deoxyribose degradation in a dose dependend manner. Betacyanin ...

We define the algorithm ALBA for the language of the same distributive modal logic (DML) for which a Sahlqvist theorem was proved by Gehrke, Nagahashi, and Venema. Successful executions of ALBA compute the local first-order correspondents of input DML inequalities, and also guarantee their canonicity. The class of inequalities on which ALBA is successful is strictly larger than the newly introd...

Morus alba leaf methanolic extract and its fractions (chloroform, butanol, and aqueous fractions) were found to inhibit NO production in LPS-activated RAW264.7 macrophages without an appreciable cytotoxic effect at concentration from 4 to 100 microg/ml. LPS-induced PGE2 production was significantly reduced only by butanol fraction. In addition, M. alba leaf extract and its fractions significant...

This will enable the Secretary to maintain an up-to-date file and will insure receipt of the journal by active members of the Asso ciation.

Background & Aim: Applications of synthetic antioxidant in food have side effects. In present study, the antioxidant potential of Morus alba leaves, as natural antioxidant, was screened with cupric ion reducing assay (CUPRAC assay) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant activity of Morus alba leaves. Martial & Method...

The DNA binding affinity of Alba, a chromatin protein of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2, is regulated by acetylation of lysine 16. Here we identify an acetyltransferase that specifically acetylates Alba on this residue. The effect of acetylation is to lower the affinity of Alba for DNA. Remarkably, the acetyltransferase is conserved not only in archaea but also in bacteria where it app...
