Formulation of silver nitrate and silver sulphadiazine is choice of drug in topical treatment of burns and related inflammation. Ancient silver based nanomedicine of Ayurveda is raupya bhasma (RB) used in treatment of different ailments but RB is still not explored to their anti-inflammatory activity. To consider this an attempt has been made to evaluate in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity of R...

UNLABELLED Recently developed proteomic technologies allow to profile thousands of proteins within a high-throughput approach towards biomarker discovery, although results are not as satisfactory as expected. In the present study we demonstrate that serum proteome denaturation is a key underestimated feature; in fact, a new differential denaturation protocol better discriminates serum proteins ...

Chick and Martin (1) have shown that the heat coagulation of proteins consists of two distinct processes; tiiz., (a) denaturation, the alteration of the protein under the influence of heat, and (b) agglutination, the separation of the altered protein in a particulate form. Agglutination, in which hydrogen ion concentration and electrolyte contents play important roles (2), is now a fairly well ...

The kinetic properties and thermal characteristics of fresh pork meat proteins (Longissimus dorsi), as well osmotically dehydrated proteins, were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. Two isoconversional kinetical methods, namely the Friedman integral Ortega employed to analyze data. obtained triplet, activation energy, pre-exponential factor, extent conversion, has been discuss...

The change produced in native proteins by various agents which results in loss of their characteristic properties and changes in solubility is called denaturation. The term, however, may be applied to structural and physical changes in the protein molecule which differ widely with the particular agent used. Urea denaturation differs in many respects from both heat and radiation denaturation. Ur...

This paper examines the influence of acylation of the Lys-ε-NH(3)(+) groups of bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA, EC 4.2.1.1) to Lys-ε-NHCOR (R = -CH(3), -CH(2)CH(3), and -CH(CH(3))(2), -CF(3)) on the rate of denaturation of this protein in buffer containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Analysis of the rates suggested separate effects due to electrostatic charge and hydrophobic interactions. Rate...
