Mineral composition of Aegle marmelos (L.) corrêa ash: Exploration of its ability to mimic the function of different metalloenzymes

Chemistry of Inorganic Materials
The motivation to find functional models of different metalloenzymes comes from their potential to develop better catalysts inspired by nature. Generally, metalloenzymes can activate aerial dioxygen due to the metal ions in it.

Highly Sensitive Electrochemical Biosensor Based on Hairy Particles with Controllable High Enzyme Loading and Activity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
For the first time, a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor based on SiO2‐based hairy particles with a grafted PDMAEMA polymer brush containing a quantifiable and large amount of immobilized Laccase is reported. The fabricated biosensor exhibits a sensitivity of 0.14 A·m⁻¹, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 µm, and a detection range of 0.3–750 µm,

Concentration of norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine, and of amine-metabolizing enzymes in mammalian adipose tissue

Journal of Lipid Research, 1963
The norepinephrine content of adipose tissue is shown to be very different in various animal species and different sites of origin, ranging from 0.03-1.4 μg/g. Adipose tissue also contains considerable amounts of serotonin (0.01-1.04 μg/g) and histamine (

Boosting LPMO-driven lignocellulose degradation by polyphenol oxidase-activated lignin building blocks

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Background Many fungi boost the deconstruction of lignocellulosic plant biomass via oxidation using lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). The application of LPMOs is expected to contribute to ecologically friendly conversion of biomass into fuels ...

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...
