opuntia humifusa/phosphatase

Acid phosphatase (ACP) plays an important role in regulating phosphate nutrition in plants. Herein, for the first time, a novel ACP from Opuntia megacantha Salm-Dyck cladodes was purified to homogeneity and biochemically characterized. Specific activity of 8.78 U/mg was obtained with 11.29-fold

Methanol is primarily metabolized by oxidation to formaldehyde and then to formate. These processes are accompanied by formation of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. This article reports data on the effect of methanol-induced oxidative damage in experimental rats and the role of aqueous
