Lactulose Biosynthesis with Enzymes of Lactose-Fermenting Micromycetes and Bacteria
Lactulose is a well-studied prebiotic popular in medicine and the food industry. β-Galactosidases offer an alternative to traditional chemical methods of lactulose production. The article describes lactulose biosynthesis with crude enzyme preparations of

Senescence-associated beta-galactosidase is lysosomal beta-galactosidase
Replicative senescence limits the proliferation of somatic cells passaged in culture and may reflect cellular aging in vivo. The most widely used biomarker for senescent and aging cells is senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-gal), which is defined as beta-galactosidase activity detectable at pH 6.0 in senescent cells, but the origin of SA-

Construction, Isolation and Implications of Repressor‐galactosidase ·ß‐galactosidase Hybrid Molecules [PDF]
Escherichia coli heterogenotes, which produce hybrid molecules between the chimaeric protein repressor‐galactosidase and the enzyme β‐galactosidase, were constructed. Repressor‐galactosidase. in which fully active lac repressor is covalently linked to active β‐galactosidase, is an aggregate with a core structure of four β‐galactosidase parts and two ...

PARP inhibitors induce a senescence phenotype in non‐small cell lung carcinoma cell lines
Talazoparib is the most potent inducer of senescence among different PARP1 inhibitors in human NSCLC cells. In the absence of PARP, no senescence phenotype was observed, demonstrating that PARP1 is necessary for the induction of senescence by this inhibitor.

Biochemical characterization of digestive carbohydrases from Xanthogaleruca luteola and inhibition of its α-amylase by inhibitors extracted from the common bean [PDF]
Xanthogaleruca luteola Müll. (Col.: Chrysomelidae) is a major urban insect pest on elm trees in Iran. Digestion in the alimentary canal of the elm leaf beetle is facilitated by some carbohydrases which are responsible for the digestion of ...
