INTRODUCTION: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multi-systemic autoimmune connective tissue disorder that known to have variable manifestations with remitting/relapsing course depending on the affected system. SLE can affect all major organs in human body including heart, brain, and kidneys. Although eye not primary target of insult patients, one third patients present significant...

<p>A broadband implantable antenna is presented for the biomedical system applications. The proposed adopts a spiral monopole structure to realize purpose of miniaturization size. total size including biocompatible superstrates 15 × 1.42 mm3 operating frequency at 402 MHz. effects some design parameters on performance are discussed. simulated and measured in skin-mimick...

Alpha-amylase was immobilized onto polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol (PAni-PVA) film by cross linking with glutaraldehyde. The activity yield and immobilization efficiency was calculated as 13.58% and 30.60% respectively. The PAni-PVA-Amylase films were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and amylase activity assay. The immobilized α-amylase had its optimum activity at p...

We have long moved past the one-gene–one-function concept originally proposed by Beadle and Tatum back in 1941; but the full understanding of genotype–phenotype relations still largely relies on the analysis of static, snapshot-like, interaction data sets. Here, we look at what global patterns can be uncovered if we simply trace back the human interactome network over the last decad...

The gene for beta-amylase was isolated from Bacillus polymyxa by molecular cloning in B. subtilis. B. subtilis cells containing this gene express and secrete an amylase which resembles the B. polymyxa beta-amylase and barley beta-amylase in terms of the products it generates during carbohydrate hydrolysis. Starch hydrolysis with this beta-amylase produces maltose, not glucose, whereas maltotrio...

A monoclonalantibody(66C7) was preparedthat specifically binds human salivary amylase (EC 3.2.1.1); it cross reacts with human pancreatic amylase by less than 1%. Two procedures are described for determination of isoamylases in human serum with this antibody: an enzyme immunoassay for determining amylase of salivary origin, and a routine method in which this amylase is immunoprecipitated and th...
