Functional annotation of protein sequences with low similarity to well characterized protein sequences is a major challenge of computational biology in the post genomic era. The cyclin protein family is once such important family of... more
Plants constitute an alternative source of proteins in the human diet, with advantages over animal proteins because of their low content of saturated fats and absence of cholesterol. Within the framework of a wider research project on the... more
Two laccase isoenzymes produced by Pleurotus eryngii were purified to electrophoretic homogeneity (42- and 43-fold) with an overall yield of 56.3%. Laccases I and II from this fungus are monomeric glycoproteins with 7 and 1% carbohydrate... more
The results of microbiological and toxicological tests have proved the safety of the bone-muscular cod waste (BMW). Waste (humerus with meat cuts) from cod cutting on fillets contains 18,95 % of a full-grade animal protein and... more
Conotoxins are disulfide rich small peptides that target a broad spectrum of ion-channels and neuronal receptors. They offer promising avenues in the treatment of chronic pain, epilepsy and cardiovascular diseases. Assignment of newly... more
Grains of most cereal species, like wheat, maize and sorghum, which represent the world's largest providers of food and consequently important economical commodities, contain inadequate levels of some essential amino acids,... more
Two novel type I ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) were found in the storage roots of Mirabilis expansa, an underutilized Andean root crop. The two RIPs, named ME1 and ME2, were purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate... more
Humans have had a historic and cherished association with silk. The lustre, handle, and draping qualities of silk fibers are definitely superior to those of other textile fibers.1 Because of this, efforts are ongoing to manufacture... more
Functional annotation of protein sequences with low similarity to well characterized protein sequences is a major challenge of computational biology in the post genomic era. The cyclin protein family is once such important family of... more
Purification of extracellular α-amylase from Bacillus subtilis KIBGE HAS was carried out by ultrafiltration, ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity with 96.3-fold... more
Maximum likelihood (ML) phylogenies based on 9,957 amino acid (AA) sites of 45 proteins encoded in the plastid genomes of Cyanophora, a diatom, a rhodophyte (red algae), a euglenophyte, and five land plants are compared with respect to... more
Amaranth was a major crop among the Aztecs. In Mexico the seed is popped and eaten with brown sugar. The crude protein content of the seed is 14 +/- 2% but its contents of lysine and tryptophan are 6.2 and 1.6 g/16 g N respectively. We... more
Oligodeoxynucleotides complementary to the deduced mRNA sequence of soybean Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) were used to prime the synthesis of cDNA from soybean cotyledon total poly(A) RNA. The primed cDNA was used to select clones from a... more
Taking advantage of the massive genome sequencing effort made on thermophilic prokaryotes, thermal adaptation has been extensively studied by analysing amino acid replacements and codon usage in these unicellular organisms. In most cases,... more
The active vaccine component recombinant chimeric IgE Fc-fragment opossum-human-opossum (OSO) has been expressed in CHO-K1 cells. It contains two identical polypeptide chains with 338 amino acid residues in each chain connected by two... more
