The paper deals with the results of an investigation of the release of selected amino acids (histidine, tryptophan, tyrosine) from model suspensions prepared by co-precipitation with zinc chloride. It has been proven that the influence of the Zn(II)/amino acid molar ratio on dissolution profiles of the tested amino acids and dissolution half-life (t1/2) of histidine or tryptophan is significant...

The applicability of the Multi-Scale Structure Description (MSSD) scheme to the inverse-folding problems was investigated. An MSSD represents a 3D protein structure with multiple symbolic sequences, where fine structures are represented with the sequence at low levels, the middle scale structural motifs at middle levels, and global topology at high levels. Each symbol in the symbolic sequence d...

While some reports show that physical characteristics of the baru fruits (Dipteryx alata Vog.) differ within and among the Brazilian Savanna regions, a study shows that there are differences in the nutritional composition of baru almonds from different trees from the same Savanna area. It is unknown, however, whether the Savanna’s region influences the nutritional quality of this native almond....

bacillus sp. guf8, isolated from acidic soil samples of a tea farm was identified as bacillus cereus, based on 16s rdna sequencing and standard bacterial identification methods. following optimization of enzyme production, the resulting α-amylase was purified by acetone precipitation and ion exchange chromatography. consequently, thermostability and kinetic parameters of the purified enzyme wer...

abstract           introduction: genetic variations in the gene encoding endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos) enzyme affect the susceptibility to cardiovascular disease. identification of the way these changes affect enos structure and function in laboratory conditions is difficult and time-consuming. thus, it seems essential to perform bioinformatics studies prior to laboratory studies to ...

Newcastle Disease (ND) is a major viral disease in Indonesia. It is an RNA virus belongs to Paramyxovirinae. It is well known that RNA virus is easily to mutate. In some cases, this mutation could generate virulence alteration. It is noted that mutation of NDV which has avirulent amino acid sequence on the cleavage site, could mutate to be virulent Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV). It is needed to...

Abstract Liver is a by-product that can be used as raw material for nuggets because it has the nutrients needed growth especially children. Processing liver into diversification effort. Different flours will produce different final products. The purpose of this research was to determine chemical quality and amino acid profile with filler agents. materials were fresh chicken beef liver, cornstar...
