melia/protease

A protease was purified from bead tree fruit (Melia azedarach L. var. japonica Makino) in four steps, including HPLC gel-filtration. The M(r) of the enzyme, named melain, was estimated to be 25,000 on SDS-PAGE and on HPLC gel filtration. Melain contained a carbohydrate moiety. Using casein as a

A protease (melain G) was isolated from the greenish fruits of the bead tree, Melia azedarach var. japonica Makino. Melain G shares 110 identical amino acid residues (50%) with papain, 112 (51%) with actinidain, and 91 (41%) with stem bromelain. From the sites cleaved in the oxidized insulin B-chain

Plants have always been a supreme source of drugs and India is endowed with a wide variety of them with high medicinal values. The Quorum Sensing (QS) quenching efficiency of various solvent extracts of Melia dubia seeds was investigated against uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) to screen the

Soil enzymes play a key role in the circulation of nutrients and the functioning of the ecosystem. The aim of the study was to assess how the tree species of urban agglomerations affect soil quality and enzymatic activity (dehydrogenases DEH, catalase CAT, alkaline AlP and acid AcP phosphatase,
