Enzyme efficiency was investigated in the lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of canola oil in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2). Immobilized lipase from Mucor miehie (Lipozyme IM) was used as the catalyst and the results showed that enzyme efficiency dropped at high pressures indicating a possible change in enzyme microstructure. Therefore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used...

The development of the marine aquaculture industry has led to the generation of significant amounts of fish wastes. Marine farm wastes exert adverse effects on the surrounding area of the cages. On the other hand, wastes of fish and other aquatic animals are regarded as major sources of valuable natural bioactive compounds, including enzymes, proteins, bioactive peptides, oil, amino acids, coll...

background: mushroom tyrosinase a potent candidate in clinical studies known as polyphenol oxidase, is a metaloenzyme from the oxidase superfamily widely distributed from lower to higher life forms. it plays a crucial role in sclerotization of exoskeleton in insects, also responsible for skin pigmentation in mammalians. objective: in this study, after reconstitution of mt by some metal ions, th...

understanding of physiological responses of salt tolerance might be lead to identify main salt tolerance mechanisms and essential approaches for improving grain yield stability, and also to select salt tolerant wheat cultivars. thus, the effects of salinity were investigated on grain yield and some of the characteristics related to salt tolerance. six wheat cultivars (roshan, kavir, karchia, ga...

Alkaline Protease enzyme produced from Bacillus Licheniformis PTCC1331 in optimum Condition(Temperature 37 ?C, 150 rpm, PH=10), is immobilized in different concentrations of Sodium Alginate using entrapment method, to increase its thermal resistance in detergents, and its activity is measured thereafter. Maximum enzymatic activity of 46 was obtained in 2%w/v Sodium alginate solution. Investiga...

Background: In the high concentration of salts, kosmotropic and chaotropic effects became clear and these effects are related with Viscosity B-coefficient. Methods: In present study, the effects of high concentration of amino acid salts (1-3M) on yeast alcohol dehydrogenase was assessed and the effects of Na.Aspartate, Na.Glutamate. HCl.Glycinate, HCl.Lysinate and HCl.Lysinate on stability and ...

The serine proteinase isolated from Thermomonospora fusca YX shows considerable thermal stability up to 80 °C, and progressive inactivation occurs at higher temperatures. Lyotropic salts affected the thermal stability of the enzyme at 85 °C, suggesting that disruption of hydrophobic interactions play an important role in the decreased thermal stability of the enzyme above 80 'C. Thermal stabili...

OBJECTIVES Enzyme/metal-organic framework composites with high stability in protein denaturing solvents were reported in this study. RESULTS Encapsulation of enzyme in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via co-precipitation process was realized, and the generality of the synthesis was validated by using cytochrome c, horseradish peroxidase, and Candida antarctica lipase B as model enzymes. The s...
