Utilisation of wheat bran as a substrate for bioethanol production using recombinant cellulases and amylolytic yeast [PDF]
, 2015 Wheat bran, generated from the milling of wheat, represents a promising feedstock for the production of bioethanol. This substrate consists of three main components: starch, hemicellulose and cellulose.

Peptide modulators of alpha‐glucosidase [PDF]
Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2015 AbstractAims/IntroductionAcute glucose fluctuations during the postprandial period pose great risk for cardiovascular complications and thus represent an important therapeutic approach in type 2 diabetes. In the present study, screening of peptide libraries was used to select peptides with an affinity towards mammalian intestinal alpha‐glucosidase as ...

Conductive Hydrogels for Exogenous Sensing and Cell Fate Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We engineer electrically conductive hydrogels by combining sulfated glycosaminoglycans with semiconducting polymers. These hydrogels bind bioactive proteins, including growth factors, whose release or retention can be modulated by low‐voltage stimulation. The hydrogels are also integrated as 3D channels in organic electrochemical transistors as part of

Phylogenomic relationships between amylolytic enzymes from 85 strains of fungi.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fungal amylolytic enzymes, including α-amylase, gluocoamylase and α-glucosidase, have been extensively exploited in diverse industrial applications such as high fructose syrup production, paper making, food processing and ethanol production.

Enzyme-synthesized highly branched maltodextrins have slow glucose generation at the mucosal α-glucosidase level and are slowly digestible in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 For digestion of starch in humans, α-amylase first hydrolyzes starch molecules to produce α-limit dextrins, followed by complete hydrolysis to glucose by the mucosal α-glucosidases in the small intestine.

Characterization of thermophilic β-Glucosidase of rhizospheric bacterial strain (LSKB15) isolated from Cholistan Desert, Pakistan [PDF]
, 2018 Fifty thermophilic bacterial strains isolated from rhizospheric soil of Cholistan desert, Pakistan, and designated as LSKB01-LSKB50 were screened for β-glucosidase gene (bgl) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH 1) using PCR technique ...

Selecting β-glucosidases to support cellulases in cellulose saccharification [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Enzyme end-product inhibition is a major challenge in the hydrolysis of lignocellulose at a high dry matter consistency. β-glucosidases (BGs) hydrolyze cellobiose into two molecules of glucose, thereby relieving the product inhibition of ...

Interaction of antidiabetic α‐glucosidase inhibitors and gut bacteria α‐glucosidase [PDF]
Protein Science, 2018 AbstractCarbohydrate hydrolyzing α‐glucosidases are commonly found in microorganisms present in the human intestine microbiome. We have previously reported crystal structures of an α‐glucosidase from the human gut bacterium Blaubia (Ruminococcus) obeum (Ro‐αG1) and its substrate preference/specificity switch.
