The emergence and evolution of prebiotic biomolecules on the early Earth remain a question that is considered crucial to understanding chemistry origin life. Amongst molecules, glycerol significant due its ubiquity in biochemistry. In this review, we discuss significance various derivatives biochemistry, their plausible roles cell membranes, biochemistry extremophiles, followed by associated ca...

It is said that Biochemistry is a young scientific discipline, making its “formal” debut toward the end of the 1900th century (Manchester, 2000), with seminal works by Buchner (1897, Jaenicke, 2007), (Pasteur and Berthelot, 1906), Hill (1898), Embden and Glaessner (1901), Meyerhof (1911), Parnas (1911), Harden (1911), and, of course, Michaelis and Menten (Johnson, 2013; Michaelis and Menten, 20...

Vitellogenin (vtg) was isolated from greenback flounder (Rhombosolea tapirina), rainbow trout, (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) plasma. The molecular weight of each native molecule, as determined by gel filtration, was 540, 383 and 557 kD respectively. With SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, rainbow trout vtg dissociated into 1 major subunit (~154 kD), and Atlantic salmo...

Plants have a penchant for perfuming the atmosphere around them. Since antiquity it has been known that both floral and vegetative parts of many species emit substances with distinctive smells. The discovery of the gaseous hormone ethylene 70 years ago brought the realization that at least some of the compounds emitted may have physiological significance without any distinctive smell to humans....

the effect feeding olive-pulp silage (ops) for 120 days on several blood attributes was studied using 16 rams allotted to two diets consisting of 70% corn silage or 70% ops. olive-pulp silage feeding resulted in lower serum total protein, alanine aminotransferase, calcium and phosphorus levels and higher glucose concentration compared to the corn silage diet. body weight and other blood attribu...
