objective: in recent decades, β-glucans have been used as important complementary and alternative medicines for numerous immunocompromised individuals and those with end stage of cancer terminal. the most active form of β-glucans is β(1,3)d-glucan and its  most common source is cell wall of candida albicans. recently it has been introduced as a nano particle design to be used as a carrier for d...

nanotechnology has opened up new opportunities for the design of nanoscale electronic devices suitable for developing high-performance biofuel cells. glucose-based biofuel cells as green energy sources can be a powerful tool in the service of small-scale power source technology as it provides a latent potential to supply power for various implantable medical electronic devices. by using physiol...

Chemo-enzymatic hybrid process merging enzymatic cascade reactions of designed substrates with chemo- and site-selective synthetic manipulations allowed the chemo-enzymatic total syntheses jorunnamycin A saframycin A, in just 4 5 pots processes, respectively. Artificial variants installation various amino acids place l-Ala were systematically generated, demonstrating substantially broader subst...

the etiopathogenesis of dementia in alzheimer's disease (ad) is still unclear. however, long-term oxidative stress is believed to be one of the major contributing factors in progression of neuronal degeneration and decline of cognitive function in ad. in order to assess the presence of oxidative stress in ad, we examined the enzymatic activities of the erythrocyte cu-zn superoxide dismutase (cu...

conclusions allicin vapor, or some decomposition product of allicin, causes inhibition of bacterial growth and biofilm formation. parallel enzymatic studies confirmed this inhibitory effect and suggest that sulfhydryl enzymes are involved in biofilm formation in the strain studied. results an inhibition effect was observed both in the bacterial cultures and the enzymatic solutions, and the exte...

increased nitric oxide (no) formation is mechanistically linked to pathophysiology of the extrahepatic complications of cirrhosis. no is formed by either enzymatic or non-enzymatic pathways. enzymatic production is catalyzed by no synthase (nos) while entero-salivary circulation of nitrate and nitrite is linked to non-enzymatic formation of no under acidic ph in the stomach. there is no data on...
