Properties of rat liver N-acylethanolamine amidohydrolase.
Rat liver microsomes and mitochondria contain an amidohydrolase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acylethanolamine to ethanolamine and fatty acid. The enzyme is active over a wide range of pH, does not require divalent cations, and is inhibited by sulfhydryl-reactive agents.

Biochemical properties of penicillin amidohydrolase from Micrococcus luteus [PDF]
Some biochemical properties of whole-cell penicillin amidohydrolase from Micrococcus luteus have been studied. This whole-cell enzyme showed its maximal activity at 36 degrees C at pH 7.5. It was found that the activation energy of this enzyme was 8.03 kcal (ca. 33.6 kJ) per mol, and this amidohydrolase showed first-order decay at 36 degrees C.

Abstract The consumption of plant proteins is increasing worldwide as a viable alternative to animal‐derived proteins in the marketplace. The projected increase in global population to at least 10 billion by 2050 is placing greater pressure on the food supply, particularly due to the rising demand for large‐scale protein production.

Anandamide Amidohydrolase Activity in Rat Brain Microsomes [PDF]
An amidohydrolase activity present in rat brain microsomes catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-arachidonoyl-[3H]ethanolamine ([3H]anandamide), an endogenous cannabimimetic substance, forming [3H]ethanolamine and arachidonic acid. Amidohydrolase activity is maximal at pH 6 and 8, is independent of divalent cations, has an apparent Km for [3H]anandamide of 12 ...

Combined Forces Against Bacteria: Phages and Antibiotics
ABSTRACT Background and Aim It is now known that bacteria are highly interactive and exhibit a range of complex cooperative behaviors, including conjugal plasmid transfer, toxins, swarming, drug resistance, toxin production, biofilm development, and other virulence traits.

Evaluation of a Multiplex PCR Assay for the Identification of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli [PDF]
Background: Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are identified as the major causes of acute gastroenteritis in humans. Because of the fastidious nature of Campylobacters, many clinical laboratories fail to routinely culture them.
