Lignin--from natural adsorbent to activated carbon: a review 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The present review compiles the work done over the last few decades on the use of lignin and lignin-based chars and activated carbons as adsorbents for the removal of substances from water and focuses on the utilisation of lignin as adsorbent, its conversion to chars and activated carbons and the use of these materials as adsorbents. Moreover, the review also examines the textural and surface chemical properties of lignin-based activated carbons. The work so far carried out indicates that lignin is relatively non-reactive and probably the component of lignocellulosic precursors primarily responsible for the microporosity of activated carbons. Under appropriate conditions of activation it is possible to obtain materials with surface areas and pore volumes approaching 2000 m(2)g(-1) and 1cm(3)g(-1), respectively, and these materials have capacities for the aqueous phase adsorption of metallic pollutants that are comparable to those of commercial activated carbons. Relatively little work has so far been published and there is considerable scope for more detailed studies on the preparation, characterisation and adsorption applications of lignin-based activated carbons. 相似文献

A series of thiosugar derivatives (thiolevomannosans) derived from mannose were synthesized and their inhibitory activity was tested against alpha-mannosidase (jack bean). These inhibitors were found to be more potent than the well-known inhibitors like kifunensine and deoxymannojirimycin based on docking and biochemical studies. The sulfone derivative 10 was shown to be the best inhibitor of alpha-mannosidase with the K(i) value of 350 nM. 相似文献

The twenty first century has witnessed several advances in synthetic chemistry, among them microreactors. It is expected that these devices will have a considerable impact on synthetic organic chemistry since they offer a wide range of applications in various fields. Perhaps the synthesis of peptides deserves mention in this regard as these molecules are emerging as therapeutics and offer several advantages over the so-called small molecules. This minireview does not aim to address microreactors in detail, but explains various peptide synthesis methods that involve microfluidic techniques, highlighting the need for further improvement and expansion of microdevices/microreactors. 相似文献

Background
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encodes six nuclear transformation-associated proteins that induce extensive changes in cellular gene expression and signaling and induce B-cell transformation. The role of HIF1A in EBV-induced B-cell immortalization has not been previously studied.Methods and Findings
Using Western blotting and Q-PCR, we found that HIF1A protein is stabilized in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells. Western blotting, GST pulldown assays, and immunoprecipitation showed that EBV-encoded nuclear antigens EBNA-5 and EBNA-3 bind to prolylhydroxylases 1 and 2, respectively, thus inhibiting HIF1A hydroxylation and degradation. Immunostaining and Q-PCR showed that the stabilized HIF1A translocates to the nucleus, forms a heterodimer with ARNT, and transactivates several genes involved in aerobic glycolysis. Using biochemical assays and Q-PCR, we also found that lymphoblastoid cells produce high levels of lactate, lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate.Conclusions
Our data suggest that activation of the aerobic glycolytic pathway, corresponding to the Warburg effect, occurs in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells, in contrast to mitogen-activated B-cells. 相似文献35.
Since their initial discovery over a century ago, our knowledge of the functions of myoglobin and the mitochondrion has gradually evolved. The mitochondrion, once thought to be solely responsible for energy production, is now known to be an integral redox and apoptotic signal transducer within the cell. Likewise, myoglobin, traditionally thought of only as an oxygen store, has emerged as a physiological catalyst that can modulate reactive oxygen species levels, facilitate oxygen diffusion and scavenge or generate nitric oxide (NO) depending on oxygen tensions within the cell. By virtue of its unique ability to regulate O(2) and NO levels within the cell, myoglobin can modulate mitochondrial function in energy-demanding tissues such as the beating heart and exercising muscle. In this review, we present the conventional functions of myoglobin and mitochondria, and describe how these roles have been reassessed and advanced, particularly in the context of NO and nitrite signaling. We present the mechanisms by which mitochondria and myoglobin regulate one another within the cell through their interactions with NO and oxygen and discuss the implications of these interactions in terms of health and disease. 相似文献

Elastin protein-based polymers have their origin in repeating sequences of the mammalian elastic protein, elastin. The sequences
of elastin peptides chosen are tetrapeptides, pentapeptides and tricosamers (30 amino acids) and also aromatic amino acids.
These have been conjugated to 1-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)piperazine to study the effect of conjugation on the activity. The conjugates
so obtained were characterized by physical and analytical techniques followed by the antimicrobial evaluation. The study revealed
that all the conjugates have exhibited enhanced activity than the conventional drugs. Further, the conjugates of tricosamers
have shown extraordinary activity against the fungal species with MIC value of 3–5 μg/ml which is five fold more potent than
the antibiotic used. 相似文献

Summary The incorporation of undecomposed wheat straw in the soil along-with the micro-organisms favourably increased the yield of groundnut crop. An increase of 37 per cent in yield was recorded when wheat straw was inoculated withPenicillium digitatum and the C:P ratio was adjusted to 65. Inoculated treatments of narrower C:P ratio gave a higher yield than wider C:P ratio treatments inoculated with the same cultures. An increase in nitrogen uptake by groundnut plants was recorded due to incorporation of straw alongwith the micro-organisms in soil. The organic carbon and nitrogen content of the soil increased with all the treatments except control. The highest increase in organic carbon and nitrogen of the soil was observed with a treatment of wheat straw of 65 C:P ratio inoculated withS. coccosporum. The yield of wheat crop after groundnut was significantly more with several treatments than control plots. The highest increase of 79 per cent in grain yield of wheat was observed in the plots previouslq received with wheat straw of 200 C:P ratio.This paper is based on the data presented at IV Southern Regional Conference on Microbial Inoculants, held at Parbhani during 3–4 July 1978. 相似文献

The Helicobacter pylori genome encodes four penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). PBPs 1, 2, and 3 exhibit similarities to known PBPs. The sequence of PBP 4 is unique in that it displays a novel combination of two highly conserved PBP motifs and an absence of a third motif. Expression of PBP 4, but not PBP 1, 2, or 3, is significantly increased during mid- to late-log-phase growth. 相似文献

Amyloglucosidase (glucoamylase; EC 3.2.1.3) has been purified from the culture filtrates of Aspergillus candidus Link var. aureus using hydrophobic interaction chromatography and DEAE-cellulose treatment. The enzyme thus obtained has a specific activity of 329 units/mg protein with the overall recoveries between 70 and 75%. The process appears to be of industrial promise. 相似文献
