Mesoporous porous silicon (PSi) microcavity sensors are used to conduct conventional solid-phase peptide synthesis. The sensor optical response provides a convenient means to monitor the synthesis reaction in a nondestructive manner. Measurements indicate that peptide synthesis occurs only when the PSi sensor/scaffold is amine-terminated using, for example, the amino silane or deprotected acid-...

Goat milk kefir (GMK) refers to fermented products, generated through fermenting with microbial culture called grains. Prior studies have reported the changes in quality properties during aging process which fermentation continues, resulting of peptide content. This research aims investigate effect time on GMK–peptide characteristics inhibite triglyceride syntheses cells model 3T3-L1. In this s...

An elevated cholesterol level might lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins block the cholesterol synthesis pathway in the liver. Atorvastatin is the most widespread statin worldwide and, its chemical synthesis requires toxic catalysts, resulting in environmental pollution. Hence, enzymatic synthesis of atorvastatin is desirable. This process could be done by Lactobacillus kefir ...
