This is the first report on utilizing hydrolyzed karaya gum (HKG) as a novel polyanion material for complex coacervation with gelatin A. With negative zeta potentials at pH > 2.5, HKG formed coacervate maximum yield 3.75 and 1 : HKG:gelatin ratio. The optimal coacervates were used to encapsulate soybean oil containing curcumin using different shell:core ratios, homogenization speeds, concent...

The objective of the study was to formulate controlled release matrix tablets of losartan Potassium by using a combination of hydrophilic synthetic polymer like poly (ethylene oxides) and natural gums like xanthan gum, karaya gum and guar gum. A combination of synthetic hydrophobic polymers like methacrylates with synthetic hydrophilic polymer like poly (ethylene oxide) was also used in the pre...

Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are a diverse class of plant cell surface proteoglycans implicated in a range of fundamental processes associated with plant cell development. Anti-AGP monoclonal antibodies have been used extensively for the investigation of the developmental regulation of AGPs although virtually nothing is known about the structure of the carbohydrate epitopes recognised by the...

We have developed a program CCOMP that compares overlapping fragments of two protein complexes and identifies differently oriented amino acids. CCOMP initially performs a sequence alignment of the analyzed receptors, then superimposes the corresponding aligned residues, and finally calculates the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of individual atoms, every amino acid and the entire complex. Thu...

Abstract A novel polymer nanocomposite has been synthesized in the present study using a bio-polymer Karaya and inorganic SiO 2 nanoparticles via sonication for application as fracturing fluid stimulating oil gas wells. Gum (KG), an acidic polysaccharide, investigated its structural, morphological rheological characteristics, results have compared with prepared KG–SiO at different dosing improv...
