The use of Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) as a tool in assessing acquisition and development program risk has steadily increased over the past several years. There is considerable evidence to support the utility of using TRLs as part of a risk assessment, but there are some difficulties in using TRLs with software, especially Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software technology and products....

The high cost of enzymes is a major bottleneck preventing the development of an economically viable lignocellulosic ethanol industry. Commercial enzyme cocktails for the conversion of plant biomass to fermentable sugars are complex mixtures containing more than 80 proteins of suboptimal activities and relative proportions. As a step toward the development of a more efficient enzyme cocktail for...

objective(s) sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia. haemoglobin s containing red blood cells may be susceptible to oxidative stress due to imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species and the countering effect of the various antioxidants present in the body. materials and methods we evaluated some antioxidant enzymes which include gluta...

Plant essential oils and their constituents have proven to be very effective against insects, especially termites. They are the best alternative synthetic pesticides that harmless environment human health. In present study, different enzymes, namely alkaline phosphatase, acid glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase acetylcholinesterase, were evaluated in Indian term...

Enzymes are biocatalysts produced by living cells to bring about specific biochemical reactions generally forming parts of the metabolic processes of the cells. Enzymes are highly specific in their action on substrates and often many different enzymes are required to bring about, by concerted action, the sequence of metabolic reactions performed by the living cell. All enzymes which have been p...

The objective of this work was to study the sensory attributes and their relationships with isoflavones and hexanal contents of soymilks made in laboratory and commercial samples. The laboratory soymilk samples showed cooked grain and cotton candy aroma and cooked grain, malty and sweetness flavor (a mild flavor). The commercial samples presented stronger roasted soy, rancid, sesame seeds and f...

Introduction/Objective. Aggressive periodontitis (AP) is a progressive disease that damages the periodontal tissues. The aim of study was analysis intracellular enzymes: aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid (ACP) and electrolytes in saliva patients with AP their correlation clinical parameters before after therapy. Methods. included 30 (experimental ...

α-amylases are ubiquitous enzymes belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase (GH13) family, whose members share a high degree of sequence identity, even between distant organisms. To understand determinants catalytic activity throughout evolution, and investigate use homologous as model for human one, we compared salivary α-amylase, Aspergillus oryzae α-amylase pancreatic porcine using combination in ...

The grave environmental, social, and economic concerns over the unprecedented exploitation of non-renewable energy resources have drawn attention policy makers research organizations towards sustainable use agro-industrial food crop wastes. Enzymes are versatile biocatalysts with immense potential to transform industry lignocellulosic biorefineries. Microbial enzymes offer cleaner greener solut...
