Abstract Non-biodegradable petroleum-based packaging film waste has led to a severe environmental pollution and human health problems. Gelatin chitosan are attractive biopolymers for biomedical food applications due biocompatibility, biodegradability, renewability, nontoxicity, good gas barrier properties. However, disadvantages of the gelatin their low physicochemical stability poor mechanical...

Two different strategies, namely a dialdehyde-based cross-linking and photo-affinity labeling, have been developed to generate small molecule activity-based probes (ABPs) for the Abelson (Abl) tyrosine kinase, of which probe 13, derived from the photo-affinity approach, showed specific labeling of Abl kinase present in a crude mammalian proteome.

The dialdehyde derivative of inosine, INOX (NSC 118994), was studied for its effect on RNA synthesis in Ehrlich tumor cells. INOX inhibited the incorporation of [l4C]uridine into the RNA of intact tumor cells. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sucrose gradient centrifugation analysis of the RNA showed that the synthesis of preribosomal RNA and high-molecular-weight RNA was inhibited by INO...

Present study has been undertaken to assess the toxicity of cadmium in vitro for viability of hepatocytes, lactate dehydrogenase leakage, glutathione and lipid peroxidation in Channa punctatus (Bloch), a freshwater snake head fish. Three concentrations of cadmium as cadmium chloride (0.1μg/ml; 3.0μg/ml and 5.0μg/ml) besides one control has been selected. Observations reveal that except lowest c...
