DNA polymerase II purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of greater than 200, 80, 34, 30 and 29 kDa, the two largest of which (subunits A and B) are encoded by the essential genes POL2 and DPB2. By probing a lambda gt11 expression library of yeast DNA with antiserum against DNA polymerase II, we isolated a single gene, DPB3, that encodes both...

The aim of this research was to introduce a novel method use zein protein and stabilize an ethanol-based emulsion. To study the effect ethanol in continuous phase emulsion on stability microstructure emulsions, content tuned range 50–90%v/v. Also, concentration emulsions examined. mean droplet size were measured using static light scattering (SLS), with Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CA...

Mısır (Zea mays) insan ve hayvan beslenmesinin yanı sıra endüstrinin çok farklı kollarında da geniş bir kullanım alanına sahip önemli tahıl türüdür. tanesinin kimyasal bileşiminin kısmını oluşturan protein mikarı çevresel genetik faktörler sonucu değişmekle birlikte ıslah çalışmaları yardımıyla ihtiyaca yönelik olarak modifikasyona tabi tutulabilir. Yerel popülasyonların miktarı fraksiyonları b...

Maize (Zeamays) is one of themost important cereal grains, and considerable effort has been focused on improving this source of human nutrition (Gibbon and Larkins, 2005). Most of the weight of maize kernels is the endosperm, and the protein composition of the endosperm is an important determiner of kernel texture and nutritional value. Zeins make up over half of endosperm total protein, and al...

Osteoarthritis scaffold-based grafts fail because of poor integration with the surrounding soft tissue and inadequate tribological properties. To circumvent this, we propose electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone)/zein-based scaffolds owing to their biomimetic capabilities. The scaffold surfaces were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron static water contact ...

Fabrication of a stable, recyclable and eco-friendly photocatalyst for dye treatment is vital in sustaining clean ecosystem. In this regard, polyaniline/TiO2 (PANI/TiO2) was immobilized by zein/hydroxyethyl cellulose (zein/HEC) adhesive to enhance recyclability catalytic activity. The blending zein/HEC/PANI/TiO2 involves situ oxidative polymerization, followed immobilization with zein/HEC funct...

In this study, a novel composite gel was fabricated from Konjac glucomannan (KGM) combined with zein, while its properties and structure were characterized. The effect of the KGM/zein ratios freeze-thaw treatment on gels investigated. storage modulus (G?) KGM increased even when zein content below 20%, partial phase separation occurred exceeded 50%. initial decomposition temperature improved by...
