Feline vestibular disorders. Part II: diagnostic approach and differential diagnosis. [PDF]
Results of a neurological examination usually permit localisation of a vestibular disorder to either the central or peripheral parts of the vestibular system. Many different disorders located in the same part of the vestibular system will produce similar

This study presents a scalable strategy for producing Priestia megaterium α‐amylase (PmAmy) via fed‐batch fermentation, optimizing the biomass/IPTG ratio to enhance yield. With an activity of 67.7 U mL−1 at 22.3 g L−1 biomass, PmAmy demonstrated 99% efficiency in dough fermentation, highlighting its industrial potential as a sustainable baking enzyme .

Recent Advances in Isatin–Thiazole Hybrids: Synthesis, Structural Design, and Biological Application
ABSTRACT Isatin–thiazole hybrids are considered privileged chemical scaffolds due to their broad spectrum of pharmacological properties, making them attractive candidates for drug development. As a result, isatin–thiazole derivatives have emerged as a prominent class of hybrid heterocycles and have been the focus of extensive research in recent years ...

ThiF‐Like Enzyme Chemistry in Primary and Secondary Metabolism
ThiF‐like enzymes are a widespread protein family found in disparate biosynthetic pathways. They are unified by their use of an NTP to modify a carboxylate, generating an activated species prone to nucleophilic addition. This common intermediate is then targeted by diverse nucleophiles, including persulfide or amino acid side chains, to yield a variety

Biochemical and haematological aspects of ethanol metabolism in humans : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, New Zealand [PDF]
Macrocytosis or raised mean cell volume (MCV) (which as measured by the Coulter S counter) is one of the results of alcohol abuse. There is a need to identify (chronic) alcoholics by laboratory tests.

Reaction Engineering of In Vitro Natural Product Biosynthesis: Challenges and Strategies
The yield and turnover of in vitro natural product biosynthesis, and even its feasibility, are determined by intermolecular interactions. Reaction engineering allows to improve the performance of such complex biocatalytic systems. Natural products are widely used as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, or as active ingredients in food and cosmetics ...
