Fate of thymol and its monoglucosides in the gastrointestinal tract of piglets [PDF]
The monoterpene thymol has been proposed as a valuable alternative to in-feed antibiotics in animal production. However, the effectiveness of the antimicrobial is comprised by its fast absorption in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Sets of covariant residues modulate the activity and thermal stability of GH1 β-glucosidases.
The statistical coupling analysis of 768 β-glucosidases from the GH1 family revealed 23 positions in which the amino acid frequencies are coupled. The roles of these covariant positions in terms of the properties of β-glucosidases were investigated by ...
