alpha-Globulin, the high-molecular-weight protein fraction from Sesamum indicum L., was hydrolyzed to low-molecular-weight protein and peptides by pepsin, while its resistance to hydrolysis by group-specific enzymes, trypsin or alpha-chymotrypsin, was very high. The protein showed definite
Sesame (Sesamum indicum, L.) is one of the most important oilseed crops in Venezuela. However, the low solubility of the flour made of commercial meals does not allow its use in the preparation of fluid foods. To solve this situation, the alternative of solubilizing the sesame proteins by an
A cDNA encoding a cysteine protease inhibitor, cystatin was cloned from sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed. This clone was constructed into an expression vector and expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneous. The recombinant sesame cystatin (SiCYS) showed effectively inhibitory activity toward
Candida rugosa is an excellent source of multiple lipase and esterase enzymes; therefore, it is of technological importance to formulate the medium that provides high activity for each enzyme. In this work, the cultivation medium comprising complex nutrients that provided the highest activity,
Breast cancer is a global public health problem where it is the second most prevalent cancer. Historical cancer treatment with graviola has been reported. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of graviola on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat breast cancer. Fifty
SUMMARY Taxonomy: Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is a member of genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae. ZYMV is a positive-strand RNA virus. Physical properties: Virions are flexuous filaments of 680-730 nm in length and 11-13 nm in diameter, composed of about 2000 subunits of a single 31-kDa
An isolate exhibiting high extracellular lipolytic activity was identified as Bacillus subtilis by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The enzyme activity of the isolate was improved by using different concentrations of lipidic carbon sources such as vegetable oils, fatty acids and triglycerides.
