Production of Cellulose Nanocrystals Suspension with High Yields from Water Hyacinth
Acid hydrolysis is commonly used to extract cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from natural fibers. This research thus investigates the effect of hydrolysis temperatures and time on the yields of CNC from water hyacinth.

A solid state fungal fermentation-based strategy for the hydrolysis of wheat straw [PDF]
This paper reports a solid-state fungal fermentation-based pre-treatment strategy to convert wheat straw into a fermentable hydrolysate. Aspergillus niger was firstly cultured on wheat straw for production of cellulolytic enzymes and then the wheat straw

Limited Hydrolysis of Polysialic Acid by Human Neuraminidase Enzymes [PDF]
Regulation of sialic acids by human neuraminidase (hNEU) enzymes is important to many biological processes. Defining hNEU substrate tolerance can help to elucidate the roles of these enzymes in regulating sialosides in human health and disease ...

Optimization of hydrolysis conditions of alginate based on high performance liquid chromatography
Alginate is the most abundant polysaccharide compound in brown algae, which is widely used in various fields. At present, the determination of the content of alginate is mostly carried out using sulfuric acid and trifluoroacetic acid hydrolysis followed ...

Improving the resistance starch of rice through physical and enzymatic process [PDF]
People with obesity and diabetes mellitus in Indonesia have increased in number from year to year. One of the reasons is caused by high glycemic index (GI) value in rice as our staple food. The GI of the rice ranged from 64 ± 9 to 93 ± 11, where glucose =

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
