Mlc is a prokaryotic transcriptional repressor controlling the expression of a number of genes encoding enzymes of the Escherichia coli phosphotransferase system (PTS), ptsG and manXYZ, the specific enzyme II for glucose and mannose PTS transporters, as well as malT, the gene of the global activator of the mal regulon. The mlc gene has been cloned into a pQE vector and recombinant protein with the point mutation R52H was expressed and purified as the selenomethionine-labelled derivative. Crystallization of SeMet-Mlc R52H was carried out using the vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 235.95, b = 74.71, c = 154.95 A, beta = 129.15 degrees, and diffract to 2.9 A resolution.

Lipases, enzymes that perform the hydrolysis of triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, present a potential paradigm shift in the realms of food and detergent industries. Their enhanced efficiency, energy conservation and environmentally friendly attributes make them promising substitutes for chemical catalysts. Motivated by this prospect, this present study was targeted on the heterologous expression of a lipase gene, employing E.

This study focuses on the development and application of tea polyphenol-loaded chitosan/polyaspartic acid nanoparticles (TP@CS/PASP-Nps) embedded within polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers to extend the shelf life of fruit. The nanofibers were fabricated using electrospinning, which enhanced the stability and uniform dispersion of the nanoparticles. Experimental results demonstrated that the TP@CS/PASP nanoparticles exhibit significant pH and protease-responsive release of TP, with a cumulative release of 56.

Bacterial infections and excessive accumulation of wound exudates remain the main obstacles and clinical challenges to the healing of chronic cutaneous wounds. Conventional dressings are commonly used medical materials for acute wound care, but they do not possess the bacterial infection resistance required for chronic wound treatment. Herein, we prepared pure chitosan nanofibrous membranes (C) by electrospinning with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a sacrificial additive and then loaded with zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) as a novel antimicrobial wound dressing.
