DNA electrophoresis gel is an important biologically experimental technique and DNA sequencing can be defined by it. Traditionally, it is time consuming for biologists to exam the gel images by their eyes and often has human errors during the process. Therefore, automatic analysis of the gel image could provide more information that is usually ignored by human expert. However, basic tasks such ...

2,2,2-Trichloroethanol (TCE) incorporated into polyacrylamide gels before polymerization provides fluorescent visible detection of proteins in less than 5min of total processing time. The tryptophans in proteins undergo an ultraviolet light-induced reaction with trihalocompounds to produce fluorescence in the visible range so that the protein bands can be visualized on a 300-nm transilluminator...

Aloe vera is one of the oldest and most traditional medicinal plant in history, with its use dating back over a thousand years. Today, biological activity not limited to curative purposes. The expansion A. industry became evident during 90?s, when development this crop began emerge due global demand from consumers more concerned healthy lifestyle. Considering agro-industrial economic relevance ...

An antiserum to a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 95-117 of bovine proenkephalin recognizes all the major intermediates of this prohormone in bovine adrenal medulla (Birch, N. P. and Christie, D. L. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 12213-12221). This antiserum enabled an investigation of the stability and molecular properties of intermediates in the processing of proenkephalin in bovine a...

Software for gel image analysis and base-calling in fluorescence-based sequencing consisting of two primary programs, BaseFinder and GelImager, is described. BaseFinder is a framework for trace processing, analysis, and base-calling. BaseFinder is highly extensible, allowing the addition of trace analysis and processing modules without recompilation. Powerful scripting capabilities combined wit...

microbial phytases were applied mainly to animal and human foodstuffs in order to improvemineral bioavailability and food processing. in addition, phytases have potentialbiotechnological application in various other fields, such as environmental protection,aquaculture and agriculture. bacillus sp. dm12, an isolate from a hot spring, produces phytase,which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid...

In this study, we propose a method for the texture of meat analogs through artificial muscle fiber insertion based on cross-linkable hydrocolloids using coaxial nozzle-assisted three-dimensional (3D) food printer. Hydrocolloid-based simulation material was prepared in 2.5–5% solutions with different formulations kappa and iota carrageenan (CG), sodium alginate (SA), glucomannan (GM). During 3D ...
