FABMS analysis of T-lb peptide before and after one cycle of Edman degradation indicated an unblocked N-terminal Thr residue for this tryptic peptide. In contrast , our data showed a molecular protonated ion, MH + for T- la peptide at 655 mass units (mu) which is 42 mu higher than the MH ion of T- 1b peptide. In addition, T- la peptide was not amenable to one cycle of manual Edman degrada...

β-N-acetylhexosaminidases have great potential in applied biocatalysis owing to their ability act on a wide range of natural and modified substrates. In this work, from four Penicillium crustosum strains (PcHex) were studied. The production showed the highest enzymatic activity culture medium after 11–14 days cultivation. specific isolated purified PcHex hydrolysis 4-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-β-D-ga...

A simple, green synthesis of N-alkyl-3-acetyl-2-methylpyrrole derivatives using ZnO nanoparticles from the three component reaction of aliphatic amines, acetylacetone (as a 1,3-dicarbonyl compound) and α-haloketones under solvent-free condition is described.

Fasted (48 h) rats were killed at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h after they were refed on a high-carbohydrate diet. An increase in the maximal activity and quantity of cystolic acetyl-CoA carboxylase was found in liver of refed rats after a lag time of about 8 h. The increased quantity of cytosolic enzyme was attributable primarily to mobilization of mitochondrial storage forms and not to s...
