The relationships between the structural and energetic domains of lentil seedling amine oxidase (LSAO) were investigated using modifiers that target the active site and the carbohydrate moiety of the enzyme. An irreversible inhibitor, aminoguanidine, specifically modified the active site of the lentil enzyme, whereas sodium metaperiodate cleaves carbohydrate moieties covalently bound to the native enzyme. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were made on the modified LSAOs. Deconvolution of the reversible thermal DSC profiles of the modified enzyme gave three subpeaks (energetic domains), each of which was assigned to one of the three structural domains of the native protein. Our results led us to conclude that deglycosylation of LSAO has no effect on thermal stability, whereas binding of the inhibitor imparts more stability to the enzyme.

The fabricating of extremely effective, economical, ecologically safe, and reusable nanoparticle (NP) catalysts for the removal of water pollution is urgently needed. This study, spectroscopically optimizes the process parameters for the biogenic synthesis of AgNP catalysts using Cledrdendrum infortunatum leaf extract. The optimization of several synthesis parameters was systematically studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy to identify the ideal conditions for AgNPs formation.

Mangroves adapt to periodical submergence and constitute resilient ecosystems in coastal environments. The question is whether they can sustain long submergence stress when sea level rises as a consequence of climate change. To address this, seedlings of two representative mangrove species that acclimate to low to mid tide (Avicennia marina) and mid to high tide (Kandelia obovata) conditions were treated with continual submergence for 7 days as extended hypoxia, or semi-diurnal cyclic submergence and reoxygenation for 7 days.

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in the biofortification of lentil seedlings and subsequently improve the Zn status in rats. In the first phase of the study, the effects of various ZnO NPs concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 ppm) on the lentil growth, Zn accumulation, and other physiological parameters were investigated. Subsequently, the rats were fed ZnO NP-biofortified lentil seedlings (20 and 160 ppm) to assess their impact on animal health and Zn status.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different seed priming solutions on physical and chemical quality parameters of lentils as well as nodule bacterial diversity before sowing. Therefore, lentil seeds were treated with polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) (15%), sorbitol (6%), and distilled water, and none pretreated lentils (Lens culinaris) were used as control. The seeds were kept in these solutions for 24 h, then dried on toweling paper for 24 h, and used for the experiment.
