Novel Enzymatic Synthesis of 3-hydroxybutyric Acid Oligomerswith Inserted Lactobionic Acid Moieties
3-Hydroxybutyric acid and lactobionic acid yielded linear and cyclic oligomers in a lipase-catalyzedcondensation polymerization reaction, performed at 80°C in bulk and organic solvent systems. Novozyme435 was the most efficient biocatalyst, and a mixture of t-butanol and dimethylsulfoxide in 80:20 (v/v) ratioprovided the highest copolymer conversions ...

Serum Metabolomic Study on the Difference between Mild and Severe Acute Pancreatitis Based on Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Background Mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) has a certain probability of transforming into severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) . Once SAP occurs, it will cause greater harm to patients. It is meaningful for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatitis to explore the

Acid-tolerant poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) hydrolases from moulds [PDF]
We have isolated some mould strains that can grow under acid conditions with poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) as sole carbon source, and secrete PHB hydrolases active at pH values at least down to 3. An improved assay method for such enzymes using a pH stat has been developed, and used to determine the dependence of reaction rate on enzyme and polymer ...

Identification of Morphine and Heroin-Treatment in Mice Using Metabonomics
Although heroin and morphine are structural analogues and morphine is a metabolite of heroin, it is not known how the effect of each substance on metabolites in vivo differs. Heroin and morphine were administered to C57BL/6J mice in increasing doses from
