Abbreviations: aa, amino acid; AGPase, ADP-glc pyrophosphorylase; ara, arabinose; gal, galactose; galA, galacturonic acid; GALT, gal-1-P uridyltransferase; glc, glucose; glcA, glucuronic acid; man, mannose; PPi, pyrophosphate; SuSy, sucrose synthase; UAGPase, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase; UGE, UDP-glc epimerase; UGPase, UDP-glc pyrophosphorylase; USPase, UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase...

In this work, black and white Myrtus communis L. (myrtle) fruits some biochemical parameters were investigated such as vitamins, carotenes, functional peptides, oxidative stress markers (OSM), total phenolic (TP) flavonoid (TF) substances, antioxidant capacity (AC) amino acids contents. The myrtle had generally higher amounts of TP, AC acid (AA) contents than the fruits. dried in sun light micr...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of substitution of soybean meal (SBM) with canola meal (CM) in diets formulated on the basis of total or digestible amino acid (AA) on productive performance, egg quality, and selected organ weight and blood parameters in laying hens from 73 to 83 weeks of age. A total of 128 laying hens were allotted randomly to a completely randomized design arr...

The E. coli RelA protein is a ribosome-dependent (p)ppGpp synthetase that is activated in response to amino acid starvation. RelA can be dissected both functionally and physically into two domains: The N-terminal domain (NTD) (amino acids [aa] 1 to 455) contains the catalytic domain of RelA, and the C-terminal domain (CTD) (aa 455 to 744) is involved in regulating RelA activity. We used mutatio...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase is 1,000-fold more sensitive to rifampin than Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. Chimeric E. coli RNA polymerase in which the beta-subunit segment encompassing rifampin regions I and II (amino acids [aa] 463 through 590) was replaced with the corresponding region from M. tuberculosis (aa 382 through 509) did not show an increased sensitivity to the antibi...

The compatibilization of raw bentonite (bent) with a polymer matrix polypropylene (PP) can improve the performance material in terms thermal and mechanical properties. In this study, two kinds untreated bentonite, bentonite-Maghnia (bent-m) bentonite-Mostaganem (bent-M), that differ proportion Al2O3 particle size distribution were coupled to typical maleic anhydride grafted PP-MA. Stearic Acid ...

Sequencing double-stranded DNA templates has become an efficient procedure (1) being much less time-consuming than the preparation and subsequent sequencing of inserts in phage singlestranded DNA. The ability to use highly degenerate oligonucleotides instead of sequence-specific primers would make this method even more powerful for the rapid sequencing ofDNA that codes for a protein for which a...

Myostatin, encoded by the MSTN gene (previously GDF8), is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, which normally acts to limit skeletal muscle mass by regulating the number and growth of muscle fibers. In this study, a total of 84 myostatin gene sequences with known complete coding regions (CDS) and corresponding amino acid sequences were analyzed from 17 species, and differen...

Abstract This study investigated an alternative approach to valorizing canola proteins by hydrolyzing them generate amino acids (AAs). Pre‐treatment of cold‐pressed (CP) cake and desolventized‐toasted (DT) meal with ethanol (99%, vol/vol) followed protein separation was studied as process optimizations maximize recovery higher purity. The optimum pre‐treatment conditions achieve a containing le...

Water plays a role in stabilizing biomolecular structure and facilitating biological function. Water can generate small active clusters and macroscopic assemblies, that are able to transmit information on various scales [1]. Protonation and microhydration of proteins or DNA are of fundamental importance in biochemical processes such as proton transport, water-mediated catalysis, molecular recog...
