Recombinant barley alpha-amylase 1 (rAMY1) and 2 (rAMY2), despite 80% sequence identity, are produced in very different amounts of 1.1 and <0.05 mg/l, respectively, by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S150-2B. The low yield of AMY2 practically excludes mutational analysis of structure-function
BACKGROUND
The use of standardized patients in deteriorating patient simulations adds realism that can be valuable for preparing nurse trainees for stress and enhancing their performance during actual patient deterioration. Emotional engagement resulting from increased fidelity can provide
Adaptive-compensatory processes have been revealed in the digestive system in pancreatic atrophy. These processes promote: a) the compensation of the pancreatic enzymatic insufficiency and of the cavitary digestion decrease by the alpha-amylase adsorbed at the small intestinal epithelium, b) the
In pancreatic atrophy the normal digestive dynamics of pancreatic juice volume, concentrations and outputs of proteolytic enzymes, alpha-amylase and bicarbonate are disturbed. The changes of enzymic dynamics are revealed before those of pancreatic juice volume and bicarbonate concentration. The
Two full-length cDNAs encoding gibberellin 3-oxidases, InGA3ox1 and InGA3ox2, were cloned from developing seeds of morning glory (Ipomoea nil (Pharbitis nil) Choisy cv. Violet) with degenerate-PCR and RACEs. The RNA-blot analysis for these clones revealed that the InGA3ox2 gene was
Thermal inactivation kinetics of Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase (BSA) in different environmental conditions was studied by performing isothermal experiments. As a response property, residual enzymic activity and residual heat of enzyme deterioration were chosen. A comparison of processing values
Bread staling is one of the most costly food deterioration processes. This study presents an in-depth, multivariate, statistical assessment of the differences in the staling process of white wheat bread as a function of storage time, usage of maltogenic α-amylases and spatial position in the loaf by
Clostridium acetobutylicum produces an extracellular alpha-amylase when grown on glucose as the sole carbon source. This enzyme was previously characterized from a biochemical point of view but its encoding gene was never identified. The 2283-bp amyP gene encodes a 83013-Da mature protein with an
The salivary enzyme alpha-amylase is an established non-invasive marker of psychological and physiological stress. Since there are positive correlations between salivary alpha-amylase secretion and sympathetic parameter increment during stress, salivary alpha-amylase might be an indicator of
An alpha-amylase-pullulanase gene from Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum DSM 3783 was cloned in Escherichia coli on a 7.0 kb EcoRI fragment using a lambda vector. The gene produced, from an indigenous promoter, active thermostable alpha-amylase-pullulanase, seemingly mostly a soluble intracellular
RNA metabolism of embryo and aleurone of barley grains (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Himalaya) was studied to elucidate the role of these tissues in the control of alpha-amylase synthesis and germination. The extent of (3)H-uridine incorporated into various RNA classes of the embryo during the first 12
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relation of liver status and pancreatic function to disorders of the central nervous system during early abstention from alcohol.
METHODS
Sixty-seven alcohol-dependent patients (47 male) with a mean age of 42.3 +/- 12.5 years, were assessed by clinical history, abdominal
A synthetic gene encoding 0.19 alpha-amylase inhibitor (alpha-AI) from wheat kernel was obtained by enzymatic assembly of 18 oligodeoxynucleotides which were chemically synthesized. The synthetic gene was introduced into vector pET15b for expression in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) under the control of
High temperature impairs rice (Oryza sativa) grain filling by inhibiting the deposition of storage materials such as starch, resulting in mature grains with a chalky appearance, currently a major problem for rice farming in Asian countries. Such deterioration of grain quality is accompanied by the
This study investigated the potential effects of fermented sardinelle protein hydrolysates (FSPHs) obtained by two proteolytic bacteria, Bacillus subtilis A26 (FSPH-A26) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens An6 (FSPH-An6), on hypercaloric diet (HCD) induced hyperglycemia and oxidative stress in rats.
