Phospholipase A1(PLA_(1))is a member of the hydrolase family with applications in various fields,especially in the food industry.A calcium-independent PLA_(1) from Streptomyces albidoflavus was expressed in E.coli BL2...
Antimicrobial peptides are promising therapeutic agents in view of increasing resistance to conventional antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides usually fold in α-helical, β-sheet, and extended/random-coil structures. T...
We have previously shown that the diphtheria toxin variant CRM 197 (cross-reacting material 197) can be overexpressed in Escherichia coli at high levels, yielding insoluble aggregates, which were solubilized using u...
The refolding of denatured hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) was examined by surfactants at a high final refolded HEWL concentration (1 mg/mL). Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sucrose fatty acid monoester (D...

Background:The melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7(mda-7)/interleukin-24(IL-24)can induce apoptosis in a wide variety of tumor cell types,whereas it has no toxicity in normal cells.However,recombinant human mda...
Manganese peroxidases (MnPs) are interesting enzymes in protein engineering, aimed at maximizing industrial bioprocesses such as lignin degradation and biofuel production. cDNA of the secreted short-type of MnP from P...
Phenol oxidase in Drosophila melanogaster occurs as folded phase precursors designated as prophenol oxidase A1 and A3, and prophenol oxidase is activated with alcohol, especially 2-propanol, within a few minutes as un...
The reversible effect of microwave mediated denaturation of protein at low exposure time of 10 s has been demonstrated for the first time. The effect of microwave (2.45 GHz and 900 W) was confirmed in a homo-octameric...
