Electronic address:

To explore the mechanism of Virgibacillus proteases on hydrolysis of shrimp myofibrillar protein (SMP) and formation of volatile compounds, the fermented broth of Virgibacillus halodenitrificans was purified and the protease was identified as peptidase S8. The enzyme had optimum activity at pH 7.0-8.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive soft tissue ablation technique, which utilizes ultrasound energy to induce thermal coagulation necrosis in targeted tissues. Whether this high energy causes side effects in vivo, such as the formation of peptide bonds, has not been fully investigated. Glycylglycine is the simplest dipeptide and hence is often used as a model compound for peptide studies.

Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a specific enzyme capable of recognizing and cleaving triplex DNA structures and releasing 5'-flap fragments. It plays a crucial role in the DNA metabolism of cells, participating in DNA replication and the repair of damaged DNA. Additionally, FEN1 is overexpressed in various tumor tissues, promoting tumor progression and drug resistance through different regulatory mechanisms.

Objective: Improving the way to establish the species belonging of muscle tissue fragments and particles using the quantitative solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.

Material And Methods: We studied human muscle tissue fragments and particles (sampled 2-4 weeks before) and also dried extracts from the blood of certain animals, such as dogs, birds, pigs, and cats. The samples were studied using quantitative enzyme immunoassay with the domestic kit «IgG-total-ELISA-HEMA».

Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacy and Sciences, School of Pharmacy, Aichi Gakuin University, 1-100 Kusumoto-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8650, Japan. Electronic address:

Gimeracil, a component in S-1 (an oral anticancer agent comprising tegafur, a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), potassium oxonate, and gimeracil), inhibits metabolic enzymes, thereby impeding 5-FU degradation. Therefore, the blood level of gimeracil is closely associated with the disposition of 5-FU, and quantification of gimeracil can provide important information if a case shows an inappropriate 5-FU blood concentration. Nevertheless, methods for quantifying gimeracil in human plasma are rarely reported.
