conclusions in this study, we isolated b. licheniformis producing an organic solvent-stable protease from oil-contaminated soil. the protease was stable and active in various organic solvents. by purification, the protease could be used as a biocatalyst for organic solvent-based enzymatic synthesis. results according to 16srdna sequencing, strain isa9 was identified as a new strain of bacillus ...

Five isoforms of APAF1 cDNA have been identified in Homo sapiens: The original APAF1 (also called Apaf-1S) is 3585 bp long (it contains 12 WD40 repeats); The APAF1-1M isoform (3618 bp) contains an insertion of 33 nt after position 295 of the first published sequence (11 aa insertion GKDSVSGITSY between aa 98 and 99; it also contains 12 WD40 repeats); The APAF1XS isoform (3516 bp) contains the s...

background: fasciola hepatica is one of the most important helminthes parasites and triclabendazole (tcbz) is routinely used for treatment of infected people and animals. secreted protease enzymes by the f. hepatica plays a critical role in the inva-sion, migration, nutrition and the survival of parasite and are key targets for novel drugs and vaccines. the aim of study was to determine the pro...

The effects of many protease inhibitor (PI)-selected mutations on the susceptibility to individual PIs are unknown. We analyzed in vitro susceptibility test results on 2,725 HIV-1 protease isolates. More than 2,400 isolates had been tested for susceptibility to fosamprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, and saquinavir; 2,130 isolates had been tested for susceptibility to lopinavir; 1,644 isolates ha...
