, 2022 Significant progress has been made on biopolymers in recent years. Biopolymers are preferred to other materials because they have specific physical, chemical, biological, biomechanical, and degradation properties. Many natural or synthetic biopolymers can degrade hydrolytically or enzymatically and are used for many applications.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Defining Resonance Raman Spectral Responses to Substrate Binding by Cytochrome P450 from \u3cem\u3ePseudomonas putida\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2008 Resonance Raman spectra are reported for substrate-free and camphor-bound cytochrome P450cam and its isotopically labeled analogues that have been reconstituted with protoheme derivatives that bear -CD3 groups at the 1, 3, 5, and 8-positions (d12 ...

Wear Tests of a Potential Biolubricant for Orthopedic Biopolymers [PDF]
, 2015 Most wear testing of orthopedic implant materials is undertaken with dilute bovine serum used as the lubricant. However, dilute bovine serum is different to the synovial fluid in which natural and artificial joints must operate. As part of a search for a

Polymeric epitope-based vaccine induces protective immunity against group A Streptococcus
npj Vaccines, 2023 Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) is a life-threatening human pathogen with no licensed vaccine. Here, we used a biopolymer particle (BP) approach to display repeats of Strep A vaccine candidate peptides p*17 and K4S2 derived from M and non-M protein ...
