background & aim: clematis is an ornamental and medicinal plant that is primarily planted as an ornamental plant. clematis orientalis is native to asia and central europe, used as an antiseptic and refrigerant. the propagation of clematis is very important. in this study, the effects of plant growth regulators on rooting and growth of the plants in vitro culture were examined. experimental:...

Snake venom is an abundant resource of diverse pharmacologically bioactive proteins and peptides and a good natural source of drug lead compounds and used as important research tools in the field of toxicology, pharmacology and neuroscience. Three finger toxins (3FTx) is an important super-family of snake venom proteins which has a conserved three finger like appearance in three dimensional str...

The free amino acid profile of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus ostreatus was studied in detail. The first evidence for the occurrence of N delta-acetyl-L-ornithine in the mushroom was presented, and 33 ninhydrin-positive compounds were determined, besides N delta-acetyl-L-ornithine. Alanine, glutamic acid, valine, glutamine, glycine and leucine were predominant protein amino acids occurring in...

the interaction of p-sulphonatocalix [6] arene towards l-arginine and l-lysine has been studied inacidic aqueous solution (p1-1 2) using uv-vis spectrophotometric titration technique. the psulphonatocalix[6] arene was found to be able to form 1:1 complexe with amino acids in water.the values of the association constant were determined at different temperatures to evaluate thethermodynamic funct...

We report the application of rotor-assisted population transfer (RAPT) to measure the quadrupolar coupling constant (C(q)) for spin 5/2 nuclei. Results from numerical simulations are presented on the magnitude of enhancement factor as a function of frequency offsets, i.e. the RAPT profile. Experimental O17 RAPT profile is traced for the amino acid L-leucine. In addition, results from MQ-MAS exp...

Anticonvulsant activity of N-(p-aminobenzoyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-methylquinoline (NMQ), a newly synthesized ameltolide analogue, was investigated with regards to efficacy, lethality and neurotoxicity in mice. In vivo microdialysis experiments on freely moving rats were also performed in search for the possible effect of NMQ on cortical amino acid neurotransmitters. Similar to ameltolide, intr...

Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max L ) is a legume rich in protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and fibre. The nutritional value of soybeans the amino acid profiles processed fermented soybean (Tempe) products need to be studied. Tempe flour from black soybean, local (Anjasmoro variety) imported (USA soybean) were analyzed proximately, including carbohydrates (spectrophotometric method), protein (Kjeld...

introduction: ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar islamic calendar, during which muslims are obliged to perform specific rites and rituals. fasting is considered the most important ritual during the holy month of ramadan. fasting variably influences the health of individuals, which could be attributed to the changes in the concentrations of certain biochemical markers. this study aimed to e...

Quantification of the essential amino acid requirements of a species is required for formulating optimal diets for cultivated fish. In this study, crystalline L-phenylalanine was used to determine the quantitative phenylalanine requirement of juvenile Cirrhinus mrigala. Test diets (40% crude protein) contained vitamin-free casein and gelatin supplemented with crystalline L-amino acids to provid...

previous results indicated that performance of chicks fed a high level (10%) of poultry by-product meal(pbm) was lower than performance of chicks fed a corn-soybean meal (sbm) diet. the latter difference was hypothesized to be due to variation in digestible amino acid (aa) levels among the diets. this study evaluated diets containing pbm formulated on equivalent total aa basis vs. an equivalent...
