PREBIOTIC EFFECT OF DAILY FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDE INTAKE ON WEIGHT GAIN AND REDUCTION OF ACUTE DIARRHEA AMONG CHILDREN IN A BANGLADESH URBAN SLUM: A Randomized Double-masked Placebo-controlled Study [PDF]
, 2006 Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) is a typical prebiotic agent. A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study was performed to evaluate the prebiotic effect of daily intake of an isotonic solution containing FOS on body weight gain and the reduction of

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
