The protease enzyme produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) with characteristics similar to rennin is called Rennin Like Protease (RLP). purpose of the study was obtain information on biochemical RLP Enterococcus faecium 1.15 as a basis for utilization enzyme. first stage observation growth curves and potential isolates produce RLP, characterization. (RLP) which has been purified using Sephadex ...

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 279: G28–G39, 2000.— Basal contractility and responses to b-adrenoceptor activation are compromised in hearts from rats with chronic portal vein stenosis. Here we report ...

Vacuoles purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae bearing the vph1-1 mutation had no detectable bafilomycin-sensitive ATPase activity or ATP-dependent proton pumping. Furthermore, the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) nucleotide binding subunits were no longer associated with vacuolar membranes yet were present at wild-type levels in yeast whole-cell extracts. The VPH1 gene was cloned by screening ...
