Significance The manipulation of proteins in a site-selective manner underpins much modern protein chemistry. A careful evaluation selenomethionine benzylation led to the identification highly efficient bromobenzyl linker for bioconjugation. This selenonium-forming ligation reaction can efficiently link other complex molecules such as synthetic peptides, polymers, or reactive handles. selenoniu...

Physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. The results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. The highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. Excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

The effect of aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid (AA) on the rancidity development in Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage was studied. Cobia fillets were treated with ascorbic acid (AA 0.25% and AA 0.5%) then stored at -18°C up to 6 months. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices including free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), an...

If n = 2, then the set j£ is closely related to the Fibonacci sequence; specifically, t GT2 iff the 7 term of the Fibonacci sequence is odd. We ask, for each w, which numbers are uniquely expressible as the sum of two distinct elements of Tn. In general, for any given w, one can determine exactly which numbers are uniquely expressible. If w = 2, it is easy to see that there are five such number...
