Mass Transport Limitations and Kinetic Consequences of Corn Stover Deacetylation
Alkaline pretreatment of herbaceous feedstocks such as corn stover prior to mechanical refining and enzymatic saccharification improves downstream sugar yields by removing acetyl moieties from hemicellulose.

Chitosan: Sources, Processing and Modification Techniques
Chitosan, a copolymer of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine, is derived from chitin. Chitin is found in cell walls of crustaceans, fungi, insects and in some algae, microorganisms, and some invertebrate animals. Chitosan is emerging as a very important

Recent research has elucidated another mechanism for gene expression and signalling protein regulation in malignant cells. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been associated with silencing of tumour suppressor genes, and with other functions that promote malignant cell phenotype, such as the function of the chaperone protein heat shock protein (HSP)-90.

Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+‐dependent histone/protein deacetylase, has multifaceted functions in various biological events such as inflammation, aging, and energy metabolism. The role of SIRT1 in carcinogenesis, however, is still under debate.

Piezoelectric Performance of Microbial Chitosan Thin Film Derived from Aspergillus oryzae
In this study, chitosan thin film derived from Aspergillus oryzae cell walls was fabricated and characterised. First, the chitosan from the fungal biomass was extracted (0.18 g/g) with 52.25% of degree of deacetylation obtained through Fourier transform ...

The exoskeletons of crabs, shrimp, and fish are major waste. These wastes contain chitin, an abundant natural polymer found next to cellulose. Thus, disposal of this waste becomes a huge problem for the environment; besides this, reutilization boosts the

Chitin and Chitosan Preparation from Marine Sources. Structure, Properties and Applications
This review describes the most common methods for recovery of chitin from marine organisms. In depth, both enzymatic and chemical treatments for the step of deproteinization are compared, as well as different conditions for demineralization.

Recycling Cohesin Rings by Deacetylation [PDF]
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Beckouët et al. (2010) and Borges et al. (2010) identify the enzyme responsible for cohesin deacetylation in anaphase and show that de novo acetylation is required for cohesion establishment in the next cell cycle.
