some biochemical properties of silver carp surimi prepared by application of acid-alkali aided methods were investigated and compared to that of derived by conventional method. in terms of total protein solubility and recovery, lipid reduction, and total pigment extractability and myoglobin removal there was a significant (p

Soil salt content is a key factor that determines soil chemical quality together with soil reaction, charge properties and nutrient reserves (Lal et al., 1999). An adequate salt supply is essential for an optimum development of photosynthetic mechanism and other biochemical processes in plants (Sitte et al., 1994). Soil salt content constitutes an environmental problem when salt accumulation ge...

The 8-azapurines, and their 7-deaza and 9-deaza congeners, represent a unique class of isosteric (isomorphic) analogues of the natural purines, frequently capable of substituting for the latter in many biochemical processes. Particularly interesting is their propensity to exhibit pH-dependent room-temperature fluorescence in aqueous medium, and in non-polar media. We herein review the physico-c...

Since it is now possi ble to cu ltivate Mycobacterium lepraemurium on the 1% Ogawa yolk medium ( 7,8, 15-22,25 ) it is very easy to obtain a lot of c ulL vated organ isms. Biochemica l properties of cultivated M. lepraemurium were exam in ed to compare with previou s resu lts ( 9, II) re lat ing to the biochemical properties of in vivo grown M. lepraemurium in our laboratory . In this paper sev...

Although the mechanism of the enzymatic reaction catalyzed by lactic dehydrogenase has been investigated by several workers, little work has been reported on the physical chemistry of this protein. In particular, a precise value for the molecular weight has not been reported. Meister (1) has estimated the molecular weight to be of the order of 100,000 to 150,000. Neilands (2) has reported a val...

Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) play a critical role in biosphere-atmosphere interactions and are key factors of the physical and chemical properties of the atmosphere and climate. However, few studies have been carried out at urban level to investigate the interactions between BVOC emissions and ozone (O3) concentration. The contribution of urban vegetation to the load of BVOCs in t...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used in industry due to their unique physical and chemical properties. However, AgNPs have caused environmental concerns. To understand the risks of AgNPs, Arabidopsis microarray data for AgNP, Ag⁺, cold, salt, heat and drought stresses were analyzed. Up- and down-regulated genes of more than two-fold expression change were compared, while the encod...
