Cinnamaldehyde is an important compound of the cinnamon essential oil, and it is responsible for the most of the health benefits of cinnamon. Enriching foods such as milk with cinnamaldehyde can lead to greater utilization of cinnamaldehyde properties. In this study, we investigated the interaction of cinnamaldehyde with bovine alpha-lactalbumin. Analyzing the spectrum of alpha-lactalbumin in t...

background: this study consists of two parts. the first part deals with both qualitative and quantitative analysis of 226ra using alpha spectrometry measurement method. in the second part, the percentage of radioactive equilibrium between 226 ra and its daughter products were determined by alpha spectrometry and total alpha measurement system after elapsed time of 15 days from precipitation. ma...

G domains of the mouse laminin alpha 1 and alpha 4 chains consisting of its five subdomains LG1-LG5 were overexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells and purified by heparin chromatography. alpha 1LG1-LG5 and alpha 4LG1-LG5 eluted at NaCl concentrations of 0.30 and 0.47 m, respectively. In solid phase binding assays with immobilized heparin, half-maximal concentrations of 14 (alpha 1LG1-LG5) an...

Two structurally distinct forms of RNA-directed DNA polymerase from avian myeloblastosis virus were resolved by chromatography on phosphocellulose and purified. In addition to RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity, both enzymes had ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity, which degraded the RNA moiety of RNA.DNA hybrids. As determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide disc-gel electrophoresis, ...

purpose :   the present study investigated the psychometric properties of a malaysian adapted brunel mood scale.   methods:   the questionnaire was administered to 355 young sport athletes with a mean age of 14.69 + 1.70 years. confirmatory factor analysis (cfa) and cronbach's alpha were used to determine the factorial validity and the internal consistency of the questionnaire respectively. res...

We studied the effects of various chemokines including neutrophil-activating peptide 2 (NAP-2), beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG), platelet factor 4 (PF-4), melanoma growth stimulating activity (GRO), gamma interferon-induced protein (IP-10), regulated on activation, normal T expressed and secreted (RANTES), macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), MIP-1 beta, and monocyte chemotacti...

Cross-linking of actin filaments (F-actin) into bundles and networks was investigated with three different isoforms of the dumbbell-shaped alpha-actinin homodimer under identical reaction conditions. These were isolated from chicken gizzard smooth muscle, Acanthamoeba, and Dictyostelium, respectively. Examination in the electron microscope revealed that each isoform was able to cross-link F-act...

less than 5% of prenatal thymoctes express hla-dr before week 12 of gestation. however, the number of hla-dr- positive cells increases during the late second and third trimesters of development. to determine the role of alpha-smooth muscle actin in fetal thymic hla-dr signaling in different stages of development we examined and compared the immunohistochemical expression of alpha-smooth muscle ...
