The employment of 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) stands as a prevalent biocatalytic route for synthesizing statin side chains. The main problem with this pathway is the low stability of the enzyme. In this study, mesocellular silica foam (MCF) with different pore sizes was used as a carrier for the covalent immobilization of DERA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of various prognostic scores in predicting survival outcomes for hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
  • A review of 4,014 patient records showed that all scores could distinguish mortality rates, with CURB-65 and 4C Mortality Score being the most effective, particularly for predicting 30-day mortality and in-hospital mortality.
  • The results indicated that simpler scores like CURB-65 performed equally or better than more complex prognostic systems, making it a valuable tool for risk assessment in COVID-19 patients.

The textile industry is one of the largest water-polluting industries in the world. Due to an increased application of chromophores and a more frequent presence in wastewaters, the need for an ecologically favorable dye degradation process emerged. To predict the decolorization rate of textile dyes with Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO), we developed, validated, and utilized the molecular descriptor structural causality model (SCM) based on the decision tree algorithm (DTM).

Paramylon is a valuable intracellular product of the microalgae , and it can accumulate in cells according to the cultivation conditions. For the sustainable production of paramylon and appropriate cell growth, different bioreactor processes and industrial byproducts can be considered as substrates. In this study, a complex medium with corn steep solid (CSS) was used, and various bioreactor processes (batch, fed batch, semicontinuous and continuous) were performed in order to maximize paramylon production in the microalgae .

Metabolically associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a liver manifestation of metabolic syndrome potentially related to unfavorable hepatic and extrahepatic outcomes and progression to cirrhosis. Up to date, there are no approved pharmacotherapies for the treatment of MAFLD, so management focused on lifestyle interventions to encourage weight loss, and treatment of coexisting conditions is the only available option. Unfortunately, the aforementioned is often not potent enough to offer reversal or slow down hepatic inflammation and fibrosis.
