Optimization of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) conditions for thermophilic bacilli
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004-11)
Although thermophilic members of the genus Bacillus are known to tolerate extreme environmental conditions, they appeared to be readily damaged upon mechanical manipulations. This fact was evidenced in genotyping of some ...
Physical properties of biopolymers containing natamycin and rosemary extract
(Wiley, 2009-02)
Antifungal biopolymers were prepared by incorporating natamycin (NA) and NA + rosemary extract (RE) into wheat gluten (WG) and methyl cellulose (MC) films. Interaction between antimicrobial agents and biopolymers was ...
Development of practical HPLC methods for the separation and determination of eggplant steroidal glycoalkaloids and their aglycones
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-01)
A practical set of HPLC methods was developed for the separation and determination of the eggplant steroidal glycoalkaloids, solanine, chaconine, solasonine, solamargine, and their aglycones, solasodine and solanidine. A ...
MsrB1 (methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase 1) knock-out mice: Roles of MsrB1 in redox regulation and identification of a novel selenoprotein form
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2009-02)
Protein oxidation has been linked to accelerated aging and is a contributing factor to many diseases. Methionine residues are particularly susceptible to oxidation, but the resulting mixture of methionine R-sulfoxide ...
Multidrug resistance mediated by MRP1 gene overexpression in breast cancer patients
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-02)
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a serious handicap towards the effective treatment of breast cancer patients. One of the most prevalent MDR mechanisms is through the overexpression of genes coding the proteins called Multidrug ...
Functional analysis of free methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase from saccharomyces cerevisiae
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2009-02)
Methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msrs) are oxidoreductases that catalyze thiol-dependent reduction of oxidized methionines. MsrA and MsrB are the best known Msrs that repair methionine S-sulfoxide (Met-S-SO) and ...
Docetaxel/zoledronic acid combination triggers apoptosis synergistically through downregulating antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein level in hormone-refractory prostate cancer cells
(Wiley, 2009-02)
Docetaxel, a semi-synthetic taxane analogue, is used effectively in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. Zoledronic acid, the most potent member of bisphosphonates, has shown pleiotropic anti-tumoral effects on ...
Docetaxel enhances the cytotoxic effects of imatinib on Philadelphia positive human chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-06)
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) results from a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 which generates BCR/ABL fusion protein and characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of immature white blood cells. Imatinib, ...
Water-soluble antioxidant potential of Turkish pepper cultivars
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2008-06)
In this work, 29 pepper cultivars that represent the diversity of types and varieties grown in Turkey were analyzed for water-soluble antioxidant capacity and phenolic and vitamin C contents. In addition, 14 non-Turkish ...
Expression of Vitreoscilla hemoglobin in Gordonia amarae enhances biosurfactant production
(Springer, 2006-08)
The gene (vgb) encoding Vitreoscilla (bacterial) hemoglobin (VHb) was electroporated into Gordonia amarae, where it was stably maintained, and expressed at about 4 nmol VHb g -1 of cells. The maximum cell mass (OD 600) of ...
