conclusions our findings clearly indicate a synergistic effect of waterpipe smoke, immobilization and darkness stress on serum ck levels, whereas serum alp levels of experimental groups have shown no significant synergism for the mentioned factors. results the results indicated enhanced serum ck and alp levels in all groups compared with control (p < 0.05). also, there was a significant differe...

background and objectives : the attempts were made to describe the development of a whole cell immobilization of p. pastoris by entrapping the cells in polyacrylamide gel beads. the alcohol oxidase activity of the whole cell pichia pastoris was evaluated in comparison with yeast biomass production. materials and methods : methylotrophic yeast p. pastoris was obtained from collection of standard...

Abstract Residues of antibiotics in water resources and wastewater have been significant environmental public health problems. The current study developed a high-efficiency enzymatic nanobiocatalyst for the degradation beta-lactam antibiotics. For this purpose, metallo-beta-lactamase IMP-1 was obtained by cloned blaIMP gene overexpressed Escherichia coli. 2.6 mg purified enzyme used immobilizat...

Background: Lipase is an enzyme with immense application potential. Ester synthesis by lipase catalysis in organic media is an area of key industrial relevance. Enzymatic preparations with traits that cater to the needs of this function are hence being intensely researched. Objective: The objectives of the study were to immobilize the lipase from Bacillus sp. PS35 by cross-linking and adsorpti...

Because the cholesterol oxidase from Brevibacterium sp. M201008 was not as stable as the free enzyme form, it had been covalently immobilized onto chemically modified Sepharose particles via N-ethyl-N'-3-dimethylaminopropyl carbodiimide. The optimum immobilization conditions were determined, and the immobilized enzyme activity obtained was 12.01 U/g Sepharose-ethylenediamine. The immobilization...

background: enzymes are well known as sensitive catalysts in the laboratory and industrial scale. to improve their properties and for using their significant potential in various reactions as a useful catalyst the stability of enzymes can often require improvement. enzymes immobilization on solid supports such as epoxy- functionalized ferric silica nanocomposite can be effective way to improve ...

This paper sets out to summarize the literatures based on immobilized enzyme bio-chromatography and its application in inhibitors screening in the last decade. In order to screen enzyme inhibitors from a mass of compounds in preliminary screening, multi-pore materials with good biocompatibility are used for the supports of immobilizing enzymes, and then the immobilized enzyme reactor applied as...

A thermostable lipase was partially purified from the culture supernatant of a thermophilic Bacillus sp. The enzyme is optimally active at 60oC and pH 8.0. The enzyme showed enhancement in activity in presence of benzene or hexane (30% v/v each). The activity (assayed by determining the release of pNP from pNP laurate) was stimulated up to 60% of these solvents in enzyme reaction mixture. The c...

microcantilevers (mcls) are cost-effective and highly sensitive devices for biodetection. adsorption of specific analytes on the microcantilever surface causes the bending of mcl through changing of the surface characteristics. these new bioprobes designed in a way that one side of the microcantilever surface is coated with a selective receptor that absorbs particular molecules. after surface a...

Recombinant Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chlorophyllase 1 (CrCLH1) that could catalyze chlorophyll hydrolysis to chlorophyllide and phytol in vitro was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant CrCLH1 was immobilized through covalent binding with a cubic (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) coating on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs), which led to markedly improved e...
