Decreased paraoxonase-1 activity is associated with alterations of high-density lipoprotein particles in chronic liver impairment [PDF]

, 2010
Background Paraoxonase-1 (PON1), a lactonase synthesized by the liver, circulates in blood bound to high-density lipoproteins (HDL). This enzyme is thought to degrade oxidized phospholipids and play an important role in the organism's antioxidant and ...

Optimized expression of the Starmerella bombicola lactone esterase in Pichia pastoris through temperature adaptation, codon-optimization and co-expression with HAC1 [PDF]

, 2018
The Starmerella bombicola lactone esterase (SBLE) is a novel enzyme that, in vivo, catalyzes the intramolecular esterification (lactonization) of acidic sophorolipids in an aqueous environment.

Biocontrol of Aflatoxigenic Maize Molds Using Lactobacillus spp.‐Based Formulations

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study reviews Lactobacillus spp. use to combat aflatoxin contamination in food, specifically maize. Aflatoxins, produced by Aspergillus molds, are dangerous mycotoxins. Current control methods have limitations, prompting exploration of biocontrol alternatives.

Asymmetric Strategies for the Synthesis of Enantiopure α‐/β‐/γ‐Thio‐Carboxylic Acids Bearing a Stereocentre at CS Bond

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 367, Issue 18, September 29, 2025.
Enantioenriched α‐/β‐/γ‐thiocarboxylic acids featuring C–S chirality are valuable targets in organic synthesis. This review outlines recent progress in their asymmetric synthesis, including chiral pool approaches, metal‐ /organo‐catalysis, and emerging biocatalytic strategies. Enantiomerically pure α‐/β‐/γ‐thiocarboxylic acids bearing a stereocentre at
