Analysis of DPPH inhibition and structure change of corn peptides treated by pulsed electric field technology.

In this study, the effects on antioxidant activity and structure change of corn peptides (CPS) with 10 to 30 kDa molecular weight (MW) treated by pulsed electric field (PEF) technology were investigated. 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition was used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of CPS. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the effects of PEF treatment parameters on antioxidant activity of CPS.

Purification and identification of novel antioxidant peptides from egg white protein and their antioxidant activities.

The aim of this study was to isolate antioxidant peptides from egg white protein hydrolysates (EWPH) and identify novel antioxidant peptides by LC tandem mass spectrometric and mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR). The amino acid composition of peptides was also analyzed by amino acid analyzer on the basis of ninhydrin reaction. Three novel peptides with molecular weights of 628.

Construction and application of recombinant strain for the production of an alkaline protease from Bacillus licheniformis.

The alkaline protease gene, Apr, from Bacillus licheniformis 2709 was cloned into an expression vector pET - 28b (+), to yield the recombinant plasmid pET-28b (+) - Apr. The pET-28b (+) - Apr was expressed in a high expression strain E. coli BL21.

Construction and expression of mutagenesis strain of aroG gene from Escherichia coli K-12.

3-Deoxy-d-arabino-heptulonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase is one of the key enzymes, which catalyzes the first step in the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic pathway and yields the three amino acids tyrosine (Tyr), tryptophan (Typ), and phenylalanine (Phe). In Escherichia coli (E. coli), three differently regulated DAHP synthases carry out the first regulated step in the aromatic amino acid biosynthetic pathway.
