five different media with two concentrations and kinds of carbohydrates and peptone treatments were examined for their effectiveness in promoting asymbiotic seed germination of epipactis  veratrifolia. results revealed significant differences between media on seed germination percentage and protocorm growth and fast medium has the best effect on both. carbohydrate treatments had significant eff...

Effects of ?-cyclodextrin, ?CD, on refolding of lysozyme was investigated at pH 12 employing isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 300K in 30mM Tris buffer solution. ?CD was employed as an anti-aggregation agent and the heats obtained for lysozyme+?CD interactions are reported and analyzed in terms of the extended solvation model. It was indicated that there are two sets of identical and no...

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol. 24, No. 3, 1978 515 Fig. 1. Results of an experiment designed to determine whether formation of Iysozyme-anti-lysozyme complexes changes the electrophoretic mobility of the enzyme (A, B) Stained electrophoresis and corresponding imprint of two samples of serum from a sheet immunized with human lgG. one of them having previously been incubated with lysozyme (S+ L). Notic...

BACKGROUND To assess genitourinary (GU) function and toxicity in patients treated with image-guided proton therapy (PT) for early- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer and to analyze the impact of pretreatment urinary obstructive symptoms on urinary function after PT. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two prospective trials accrued 171 prostate cancer patients from August 2006 to September 2007. Low-risk...

IntroductionLysozyme-associated nephropathy (LyN), a rare cause of kidney injury in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), has not been well described to date. We report the clinicopathologic spectrum LyN from multi-institutional series.MethodWe identified 37 native biopsies and retrospectively obtained data.ResultsThirty-seven had median age 74 years included 78% males. Their mo...

Aluminum alloy (AA6061)-based hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMCs) are manufactured using a dual stir casting method, with varying volume percentages of B4C (5%, 10%, and 15%) Gr (10%, 15%, 20%) incorporated. The resulting HMMC reinforcement elements uniformly dispersed within the main matrix, forming mechanically mixed layer interfacial reactions. This reduces wear loss friction coefficient ...

Although it is generally accepted that phage lysozyme is necessary for the release of mature phage from infected cells (3, 12), its role in the initiation of infection is less clear. It has been considered for some time that lysozyme is incorporated into the protein coat of some phages (1, 9, 16), thereby assisting in the injection of the phage deoxyribonucleic acid into the cell by hydrolyzing...

protein aggregation is a problem in biotechnology. high temperature is one of the most important reasons to enhance enzyme inactivation and aggregation in industrial systems. this work focuses on the effect of tio2 and sio2 nanoparticles on refolding and reactivation of lysozyme. in the presence of tio2 and sio2 nanoparticles, after enzyme heat treatment at 98◦c for 30 min, not only aggregates ...
