Probing the function of C-terminal region of recombinant α-amylase BmaN1 from NL3.

The α-amylase BmaN1 from NL3 is a member of GH13_45 subfamily that has a conserved C-terminal region of approximately 30 residues. This region features a motif of five aromatic amino acids predicted to play a role in starch binding. This study aimed to unravel the role of the C-terminal region in starch hydrolysis.

ArtinM Grafted Phospholipid Nanoparticles for Enhancing Antibiotic Cellular Uptake Against Intracellular Infection.

Background And Aim: An antimicrobial delivery in the form of surface-modified lectin of lipid nanoparticles was proposed to improve cellular accumulation. ArtinM, an active toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) agonist lectin isolated from ( seeds, was selected to induce cellular engulfment of nanoparticles within infected host cells.

Materials And Methods: Lipid nanoparticles were prepared using the emulsification technique before electrostatic adsorption of artinM.
