The use of penicillin G acylase (PGA) covalently linked to insoluble carrier is expected to produce major advances in pharmaceutical processing industry and the enzyme stability enhancement is still a significant challenge. The objective of this study was to improve catalytic performance of the covalently immobilized PGA on a potential industrial carrier, macroporous poly(glycidyl methacrylate‐co‐ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [poly(GMA‐co‐EGDMA)], by optimizing the copolymerization process and the enzyme attachment procedure. This synthetic copolymer could be a very promising alternative for the development of low‐cost, easy‐to‐prepare, and stable biocatalyst compared to expensive commercially available epoxy carriers such as Eupergit or Sepabeads. The PGA immobilized on poly(GMA‐co‐EGDMA) in the shape of microbeads obtained by suspension copolymerization appeared to have higher activity yield compared to copolymerization in a cast. Optimal conditions for the immobilization of PGA on poly(GMA‐co‐EGDMA) microbeads were 1 mg/mL of PGA in 0.75 mol/L phosphate buffer pH 6.0 at 25°C for 24 h, leading to the active biocatalyst with the specific activity of 252.7 U/g dry beads. Chemical amination of the immobilized PGA could contribute to the enhanced stability of the biocatalyst by inducing secondary interactions between the enzyme and the carrier, ensuring multipoint attachment. The best balance between the activity yield (51.5%), enzyme loading (25.6 mg/g), and stability (stabilization factor 22.2) was achieved for the partially modified PGA. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Chemical oceanographic understanding of the southernBlack Sea has been improved by recent measurements ofthe optical transparency,
phytoplankton biomass (interms of chlorophyll-a and particulate organic matter)and primary productivity. During the spring-autmunperiod
of 1995–1996, light generally penetrated onlyinto the upper 15–40 m, with an attenuation coefficientvarying between 0.125
and 0.350 m2122;1. The averagechlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations for the euphoticzone ranged from 0.1 to 1.5 μg l2122;1. Coherentsub-surface Chl-a maxima were formed near the base ofthe euphotic zone only in summer. Production rate variedbetween
247 and 1925 in the spring and between 405 and687 mgC m2122;2 d2122;1 in the summer-autumn period.The average POM concentrations in the euphotic zonevaried regionally and seasonally between 3.8
and28.6 μm for POC, 0.5 and 3.1 μm for PON and0.02 and 0.1 μm for PP. Atomic ratios of C/N, C/Pand N/P, derived from the regressions
of POM data,ranged between 7.5 and 9.6, 109 and 165, and 11.2 and16.6, respectively. In the suboxic/anoxic interface,the elemental
ratios change substantially due to anaccumulation of PP cohering to Fe and Mn oxides. Thechemocline boundaries and the distinct
chemicalfeatures of the oxic/anoxic transition layer (the so-called suboxic zone) are all located at specificdensity surfaces;
however, they exhibit remarkablespatial and temporal variations both in their positionand in their magnitude, which permit
the definition of long-term changes in the biochemical properties of theBlack Sea upper layer.

Sequence analysis has become essential to the study of genomes and biological research in general. Basic Local Alignment Search
Tool (BLAST) leads the way as the most accepted method for performing necessary query searches and analysis of discovered
genes. Combating growing data sizes, with the goal of speeding up job runtimes, scientist are resorting to grid computing
technologies. However, grid environments are characterized by dynamic, heterogeneous, and transient state of available resources
causing major hindrance to users when trying to realize user-desired levels of service. This paper analyzes performance characteristics
of NCBI BLAST on several resources and captures influence of resource characteristics and job parameters on BLAST job runtime
across those resources. Obtained results are summarized as a set of principles characterizing performance of NCBI BLAST across
homogeneous and heterogeneous environments. These principles are then applied and verified through creation of a grid-enabled
BLAST wrapper application called Dynamic BLAST. Results show runtime savings up to 50% and resource utilization improvement
of approximately 40%. 相似文献

NADH increases during ischemia because O(2) shortage limits NADH oxidation at the electron transport chain. Ischemic (IPC) and anesthetic preconditioning (APC) attenuate cardiac reperfusion injury. We examined whether IPC and APC similarly alter NADH, i.e., mitochondrial metabolism. NADH fluorescence was measured at the left ventricular wall of 40 Langendorff-prepared guinea pig hearts. IPC was achieved by two 5-min periods of ischemia and APC by exposure to 0.5 or 1.3 mM sevoflurane for 15 min, each ending 30 min before 30 min of global ischemia. During ischemia, NADH initially increased in nonpreconditioned control hearts and then gradually declined below baseline levels. This increase in NADH was lower after APC but not after IPC. The subsequent decline was slower after IPC and APC. On reperfusion, NADH was less decreased after IPC or APC, mechanical and metabolic functions were improved, and infarct size was lower compared with controls. Our results indicate that IPC and APC cause distinctive changes in mitochondrial metabolism during ischemia and thus lead to improved function and tissue viability on reperfusion. 相似文献

Hypothermic perfusion of the heart decreases oxidative phosphorylation and increases NADH. Because O(2) and substrates remain available and respiration (electron transport system, ETS) may become impaired, we examined whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) exist in excess during hypothermic perfusion. A fiberoptic probe was placed on the left ventricular free wall of isolated guinea pig hearts to record intracellular ROS, principally superoxide (O(2)(-).), and an extracellular reactive nitrogen reactant, principally peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), a product of nitric oxide (NO.) + O(2)(-). Hearts were loaded with dihydroethidium (DHE), which is oxidized by O(2)(-). to ethidium, or were perfused with l-tyrosine, which is oxidized by ONOO(-) to dityrosine (diTyr). Shifts in fluorescence were measured online; diTyr fluorescence was also measured in the coronary effluent. To validate our methods and to examine the source and identity of ROS during cold perfusion, we examined the effects of a superoxide dismutase mimetic Mn(III) tetrakis(4-benzoic acid)porphyrin chloride (MnTBAP), the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), and several agents that impair electron flux through the ETS: menadione, sodium azide (NaN(3)), and 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM). Drugs were given before or during cold perfusion. ROS measured by DHE was inversely proportional to the temperature between 37 degrees C and 3 degrees C. We found that perfusion at 17 degrees C increased DHE threefold versus perfusion at 37 degrees C; this was reversed by MnTBAP, but not by l-NAME or BDM, and was markedly augmented by menadione and NaN(3). Perfusion at 17 degrees C also increased myocardial and effluent diTyr (ONOO(-)) by twofold. l-NAME, MnTBAP, or BDM perfused at 37 degrees C before cooling or during 17 degrees C perfusion abrogated, whereas menadione and NaN(3) again enhanced the cold-induced increase in ROS. Our results suggest that hypothermia moderately enhances O(2)(-). generation by mitochondria, whereas O(2)(-). dismutation is markedly slowed. Also, the increase in O(2)(-). during hypothermia reacts with available NO. to produce ONOO(-), and drug-induced O(2)(-). dismutation eliminates the hypothermia-induced increase in O(2)(-). 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of lycopene on oxytetracycline (OTC)-induced oxidative stress and immunosuppression in rainbow trout. The experimental fish analysed in this study were divided into 6 different experimental groups. Group 1 was the control group, and groups 2, 3 and 4 received corn oil, lycopene and OTC, respectively, for 14 days. Group 5 received OTC for 14 days after lycopene pre-treatment for 14 days, while group 6 received OTC for 14 days before lycopene post-treatment for 14 days. Blood and tissue samples were collected at the end of the experiment and analysed for the oxidant-antioxidant status and changes in the immune response. There was a significant increase in the malondialdehyde level, which is an index of lipid peroxidation, and a decrease in superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activity as well as a decrease in the glutathione level in the blood, liver, kidney and spleen of OTC-treated fish. Glutathione-S-transferase activity was significantly increased in the blood, liver, kidney and spleen samples of the group that received OTC alone. OTC also appeared to suppress specific and nonspecific immune system parameters, such as the haematocrit, leucocyte count, oxidative radical production (nitroblue tetrazolium activity), total plasma protein and immunoglobulin levels and phagocytic activity. Pre- and post-treatment with lycopene attenuated the OTC-induced oxidative stress by significantly decreasing the tissue malondialdehyde level. The superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities as well as the glutathione levels were significantly increased with lycopene administration, while glutathione-S-transferase activity was significantly decreased. Lycopene administration was also associated with a significant increase in the OTC-suppressed immune system parameters in fish. Thus, the present results suggest that pre- and post-treatment with lycopene (10 mg per kg fish weight, delivered orally) may alleviate OTC-induced oxidative stress and immunosuppression. 相似文献
