The two-step strategy for enhancing the specific activity and thermostability of alginate lyase AlyG2 with mechanism for improved thermostability.

To overcome the trade-off challenge encountered in the engineering of alginate lyase AlyG2 from Seonamhaeicola algicola Gy8 and to expand its potential industrial applications, we devised a two-step strategy encompassing activity enhancement followed by thermal stability engineering. To enhance the specific activity of efficient AlyG2, we strategically substituted residues with bulky steric hindrance proximal to the active pocket with glycine or alanine. This led to the generation of three promising positive mutants, with particular emphasis on the T91S mutant, exhibiting a 1.

Silver Nanoparticles Encapped by Dihydromyricetin: Optimization of Green Synthesis, Characterization, Toxicity, and Anti-MRSA Infection Activities for Zebrafish ().

To achieve the environmentally friendly and rapid green synthesis of efficient and stable AgNPs for drug-resistant bacterial infection, this study optimized the green synthesis process of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Dihydromyricetin (DMY). Then, we assessed the impact of AgNPs on zebrafish embryo development, as well as their therapeutic efficacy on zebrafish infected with (MRSA). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light-scattering (DLS) analyses revealed that AgNPs possessed an average size of 23.

A review of psychological interventions for internet addiction.

Internet addiction (IA) may constitute a widespread and serious mental problem. Previous reviews have not fully considered potential factors that may contribute to therapeutic outcomes or predict behavioral changes. Such information is relevant to understand the active ingredients of interventions and to develop more efficacious treatments that target features of IA.
