Direct sandwich ELISA to detect the adulteration of human breast milk by cow milk.

The demand for commercially available human breast milk has significantly increased in recent years. For various reasons, a significant amount of commercially available human breast milk is being adulterated with other types of milk. This fraudulent practice poses a threat to consumers' health due to potential adulterants such as cow milk, which may put the infant at risk due to intolerance or allergy.

Using steered molecular dynamics to study the interaction between ADP and the nucleotide-binding domain of yeast Hsp70 protein Ssa1.

Genetics experiments have identified six mutations located in the subdomain IA (A17V, R23H, G32D, G32S, R34K, V372I) of Ssa1 that influence propagation of the yeast [PSI] prion. However, the underlining molecular mechanisms of these mutations are still unclear. The six mutation sites are present in the IA subdomain of the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD).

Detection of human blood by immunoassay for applications in forensic analysis.

The detection and confirmation of bloodstains as being human in origin is important in crime scene investigations. There are a number of blood detection methods currently available. The aim of this work was to develop an assay capable of detecting the presence of human blood from both liquid blood samples and dried bloodstains.
