Serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 levels and enzymatic activity in patients with anti-glomerular basement membrane disease [PDF]
BackgroundAnti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is an autoimmune disorder with autoantibodies against GBM component, non-collagenous domain of the α3 chain of type IV collagen, α3(IV)NC1. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an endogenous

Staphylococcal Enterotoxin M Exhibits Thrombin-like Enzymatic Activity [PDF]
To express and purify staphylococcal enterotoxin M (SEM) using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC), a signal peptide-truncated (ΔNsp) wild-type SEM (SEMWT) was N-terminally fused in pET-28a(+) to a polyhistidine tag (His6×-) and thrombin ...

Selective Enzymatic Oxidation of Silanes to Silanols [PDF]
Compared to the biological world's rich chemistry for functionalizing carbon, enzymatic transformations of the heavier homologue silicon are rare. We report that a wild‐type cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450_(BM3) from Bacillus megaterium, CYP102A1 ...

Chemical and biological reactions of solidification of peat using ordinary portland cement (OPC) and coal ashes [PDF]
Construction over peat area have often posed a challenge to geotechnical engineers. After decades of study on peat stabilisation techniques, there are still no absolute formulation or guideline that have been established to handle this issue.
