The selectivity of the separation of some anthocyanins on Diasphere-11-C10CN stationary phase (phase I) is compared with the traditional reversed Symmetry C18 phase (phase II). It is found that, in contrast to phase II, phase I is effective in the separation of isomeric pairs of anthocyanins of 6-hydroxycyanidin- …

Inleiding: Phenylketonurie is een veel voorkomende aangeboren aandoening die wordt veroorzaakt door een mutatie in het enzym phenylalanine hydroxylase. Hierdoor wordt het animozuur phenylalanine niet afgebroken. De opstapeling van phenylalanine is toxisch en hindert de ontwikkeling van de hersenen. Patienten …

Reversed-phase HPLC with mass spectrometric and diode array detection as well as some literature data were used to reveal the individual types of solutes in anthocyanin complexes of tulip flower petals that are responsible for tulip flower petals coloration of the samples available in the local flower …

Heme is a suggested limiting factor in peroxidase production by Aspergillus spp., which are well-known suitable hosts for heterologous protein production. In this study, the role of genes coding for coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (hemF) and ferrochelatase (hemH) was analyzed by means of deletion and …

Penicillin acylase (PA) from Escherichia coli can catalyze the coupling of an acyl group to penicillin- and cephalosporin-derived beta-lactam nuclei, a conversion that can be used for the industrial synthesis of beta-lactam antibiotics. The modest synthetic properties of the wild-type enzyme make it …

Mycotoxins are small (MW approximately 700), toxic chemical products formed as secondary metabolites by a few fungal species that readily colonise crops and contaminate them with toxins in the field or after harvest. Ochratoxins and Aflatoxins are mycotoxins of major significance and hence there has …
