Fundamental aspects of outer membrane vesicle (OMV) biogenesis and the engineering producer strains have been major research foci for many in recent years. The focus this study was OMV production a variety Escherichia coli including wild type (WT) (K12 BW25113), mutants (from Keio collection) proprietary [BL21 BL21 (DE3)] strains. present investigated proteome prospective mechanism that underpi...

INTRODUCTION The production of recombinant proteins is essential for the characterization and functional study of proteins from Plasmodium falciparum. However, the proteins of P. falciparum are among the most challenging to express, and when expression is achieved, the recombinant proteins usually fold incorrectly and lead to the formation of inclusion bodies.  OBJECTIVE To obtain and purify ...

Abstract Ferulic acid ( p -hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid, FA) is a natural active substance present in plant cell walls, with antioxidant, anticancer, antithrombotic and other properties; it widely used medicine, food, cosmetics. Production of FA by eco?friendly bioprocess great potential. In this study, was biosynthesized metabolically engineered Escherichia coli . As the first step, genes ta...

The growing demand for quick and effective methods of producing large amounts of plasmid DNA for human therapy and vaccination has increased the practical challenges associated with process optimisation to improve supercoiled plasmid DNA yields obtained through current methods. The supercoiled isoform of DNA is the preferred form for use in gene therapy and vaccination as this isoform is known ...

Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) has a powerful role in scavenging reactive oxygen species. In previous papers we have developed a new strategy for generating abzymes: the monoclonal antibody with a substrate-binding site is first prepared, then a catalytic group is incorporated into the monoclonal antibody's binding site by using chemical mutation [Luo, Zhu, Ding, Gao, Sun, Liu, Yang and Shen (199...

BACKGROUND Eukaryotic DNA polymerase β (pol β), the polymerase thought to be responsible for DNA repair synthesis, has been extensively characterized in rats and humans. However, pol β has not been purified or enzymatically characterized from the model fish species Danio rerio (zebrafish). We used the in vitro/in vivo dual expression system plasmid, pIVEX, to express Danio rerio pol β (Danio po...

BACKGROUND ArtinM is a d-mannose-specific lectin from Artocarpus integrifolia seeds that induces neutrophil migration and activation, degranulation of mast cells, acceleration of wound healing, induction of interleukin-12 production by macrophages and dendritic cells, and protective T helper 1 immune response against Leishmania major, Leishmania amazonensis and Paracoccidioides brasiliensis inf...

OBJECTIVES Hepatitis C is a major cause of liver failure worldwide. Current therapies applied for this disease are not fully effective and produce side effects in most cases. Non-structural protein 3 helicase (NS3) of HCV is one of the key enzymes in viral replication and infection. Therefore, this region is a promising target to design new drugs and therapies against HCV infection. The aim of ...
