• S. obliquus was effectively fractionated by mild (un)catalyzed hydrothermal processes. Soluble sugars were mainly present as soluble oligosaccharides. Protein retained in the solid fraction. Dilute acid hydrolysis allowed higher oligosaccharides yield at conditions. Co-production of added-value marine biorefineries. Scenedesmus , a biotechnologically recognized microalga, grown 70 L vertical ...

MR. J. PICKTHALL.' When talking of H.L.B. values, the speaker has referred to the oil solubility of calcium soaps. Are these soaps in fact oil soluble in the sense that we are considering ? In discussing the emulsifying action of the calcium soaps, the speaker has compared them with glyceryl distearate and aluminium stearate. Glyceryl distearate is indeed oil soluble but commercial aluminium st...

Cataract is clouding of the eye lens that reduces the amount of incoming light and results in deteriorating vision. Blindness is thought to reach 75 million by 2020. Of these, unoperated cataract may be expected to account for at least 35 million. Thus, the burden of cataract is increasing remorselessly. Embelica officinalis is reported to have a very good antioxidant property and thus we hypot...

Background: Protein purification is the most complicated issue in the downstream processes of recombinant protein production; therefore, improved selective purification methods are important. Affinity-based protein purification method using His-tag and Ni-NTA resins is one of the most common strategies. MNPs can be used as a beneficial alternative for Ni-NTA resins. However, there is no data on...

prosite database contains a set of entries corresponding to protein families, which are used to identify the family of a protein from its sequence. although patterns and profiles are developed to be very selective, each may have false positive or negative hits. considering false positives as items that reduce the selectiveness of a pattern, then, the more selective pattern we have, a more accur...

Background: Thrombopoietin (TPO) is an important cytokine that has a critical role in regulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) proliferation and megakaryocyte differentiation. Because of scares amount of this protein in human plasma, in many biotechnological centers around the world, recombinant production of this protein has been carried out. This study was aiming to gene cloning and express...

background: escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most extensively used host for the production of recombinant proteins. however, most of the eukaryotic proteins are typically obtained as insoluble, misfolded inclusion bodies that need solubilization and refolding. reteplase as a highly disulfide-bonded recombinant protein is an example of difficult to express protein in e. coli. methods: in this s...
