The aim of this study was focused on investigating the effects of chemical modifications and molecular weight distribution of phytate-removal Soybean Protein Isolate (SPI) hydrolysate on Degree of Hydrolysis (DH) and the iron binding ability. The chemical modifications included acid treatments, succinylation, acetylation and phosphorylation. Also the effects of molecular weight distribution of ...

The large-inputs asymptotic capacity of a peak and average power limited discrete-time Poisson channel is derived using a new firm (non-asymptotic) lower bound and an asymptotic upper bound. The upper bound is based on the dual expression for channel capacity and the recently introduced notion of capacityachieving input distributions that escape to infinity. The lower bound is based on a lemma ...

Although traditional behavioral couple therapy (TBCT) has garnered the most empirical support of any marital treatment, concerns have been raised about both its durability and clinical significance. Integrative behavioral couple therapy (IBCT) was designed to address some of these limitations by combining strategies for fostering emotional acceptance with the change-oriented strategies of TBCT....

A simple experiment was performed to ascertain whether proceduresfor estimating the iron-binding capacity (IBC) of blood serum are quantitative. This was accomplishedby addingf3-globulin (obtained by fractionation of human plasma) to various serum specimens. The 3-globulin solutionswere first assayedfor their IBC. Their addition to serum in these recovery experiments provided data for evaluatio...

in this work, the template, monomer and cross-linker with the ratio of 1:8:40 were used to synthesize molecularly imprinted polymers (mips) for extraction of the bioactive chemical compounds from some traditional herbs as a sorbent material. quercetin, methacrylic acid (maa), trimethylolpropanetrimethacrylate (trim) and tetrahydrofuran (thf) were used as a template, functional monomer, cross-li...

47 NC and AC1 treatments (P<0.05). N digestibility was higher in both PC and AC3 treatments compared with NC and AC1 treatments (P<0.05). The RBC count was increased in ALA treatment compared with NC treatments (P<0.05). Hemoglobin in AC2 treatment was higher than NC treatment (P<0.05). Lymphocyte, WBC, IgG and total iron binding capacity were not affected among all treatments (P<0.05). The red...

Ni(2+)-binding staphylococci were generated through surface display of combinatorially engineered variants of a fungal cellulose-binding domain (CBD) from Trichoderma reesei cellulase Cel7A. Novel CBD variants were generated by combinatorial protein engineering through the randomization of 11 amino acid positions, and eight potentially Ni(2+)-binding CBDs were selected by phage display technolo...

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are rapidly mobilized by ACTH and have been shown to be potent endogenous modulators of steroid-protein interactions. We increased FFA in lagomorphs by ACTH and then separated the transient increase in glucocorticoid binding capacity of plasma into that accounted for by changes in binding to albumin and to corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG). Sequential injections of d...
