Process intensification strategies for enhanced holocellulose solubilization: Beneficiation of pineapple peel waste for cleaner butanol production [PDF]
Biorefinery sector has become a serious dispute for cleaner and sustainable development in recent years. In the present study, pretreatment of pineapple peel waste was carried out in high pressure reactor using various pretreatment-enhancers. The type and concentration effect of each enhancer on hemicellulose solubilization was systematically ...

The light chain of tetanus toxin inhibits calcium-dependent vasopressin release from permeabilized nerve endings [PDF]
The effects of tetanus toxin and its light and heavy chain subunits on vasopressin release were investigated in digitonin-permeabilized neurosecretory nerve terminals isolated from the neural lobe of the rat pituitary gland.

Bayesian Decision Tree for the Classification of the Mode of Motion in Single-Molecule Trajectories [PDF]
Membrane proteins move in heterogeneous environments with spatially (sometimes temporally) varying friction and with biochemical interactions with various partners. It is important to reliably distinguish different modes of motion to improve our knowledge of the membrane architecture and to understand the nature of interactions between membrane ...

Flagellar glycosylation in Clostridium botulinum [PDF]
Flagellins from Clostridium botulinum were shown to be post‐translationally modified with novel glycan moieties by top‐down MS analysis of purified flagellin protein from strains of various toxin serotypes. Detailed analyses of flagellin from two strains of C.

Bacteriocins: Novel Solutions to Age Old Spore-Related Problems? [PDF]
peer-reviewedBacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria, which have the ability to kill or inhibit other bacteria. Many bacteriocins are produced by food grade lactic acid bacteria (LAB).
