Bimetallic alginate nanocomposites: New antimicrobial biomaterials for biomedical application
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
Two bimetallic (Zn/Cu) alginate based nanocomposites, impregnated with carbonate or phosphate mineral phase, were prepared by a facile procedure. Mineralized samples exhibited different morphologies and properties when ...
Functional Characterization of the Lactolisterin BU Gene Cluster of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1-4
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2018)
The gene cluster responsible for the production of the aureocin A53-like bacteriocin, lactolisterin BU, is located on plasmid pBU6 in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1-4. Heterologous expression of pBU6 confirmed that ...
Management of dyslipidaemia in patients with coronary heart disease: Results from the ESC-EORP EUROASPIRE V survey in 27 countries
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2019)
Background and aims: One of the objectives of the ESC-EORP EUROASPIRE V survey is to determine how well European guidelines on the management of dyslipidaemias are implemented in coronary patients. Methods: Standardized ...
Properties and applications of undecylprodigiosin and other bacterial prodigiosins
(Springer, New York, 2014)
The growing demand to fulfill the needs of present-day medicine in terms of novel effective molecules has lead to reexamining some of the old and known bacterial secondary metabolites. Bacterial prodigiosins (prodiginines) ...
The PspA protein of Escherichia coli is a negative regulator of sigma(54)-dependent transcription
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2000)
In Eubacteria, expression of genes transcribed by an RNA polymerase holoenzyme containing the alternate sigma factor sigma(54) is positively regulated by proteins belonging to the family of enhancer-binding proteins (EBPs), ...
Fertile transgenic Lotus corniculatus resistant to the non-selective herbicide phosphinothricin
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
Resistance to the non-selective herbicide dl-phosphinothricin (PPT) was introduced into commercial Lotus corniculatus cv. Bokor by co-cultivation of cotyledons with Agrobacterium tumefaciensAGL1 harbouring the binary vector ...
In vitro evolution of styrene monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida CA-3 for improved epoxide synthesis
(Springer, New York, 2010)
The styAB genes from Pseudomonas putida CA-3, which encode styrene monooxygenase, were subjected to three rounds of in vitro evolution using error-prone polymerase chain reaction with a view to improving the rate of styrene ...
Analysis of thiopurine S-methyltransferase polymorphism in the population of Serbia and Montenegro and mercaptopurine therapy tolerance in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, 2006)
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that converts thiopurine drugs into inactive metabolites. It is now well established that interindividual variation in sensitivity to thiopurines can be the result of the ...
Highly Efficient Antibacterial Polymer Composites Based on Hydrophobic Riboflavin Carbon Polymerized Dots
(NanomaterialsNanomaterials, 2022)
Development of new types of antimicrobial coatings is of utmost importance due to increasing problems with pathogen transmission from various infectious surfaces to human beings. In this study, new types of highly potent ...
The Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Subunit from the Dimorphic Fungus Ustilago maydis
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2014)
In this study, we investigated the reverse transcriptase subunit of telomerase in the dimorphic fungus Ustilago maydis. This protein (Trt1) contains 1371 amino acids and all of the characteristic TERT motifs. Mutants created ...
