FTIR spectroscopy is used to identify poly-L-lysin fatty-acyl-chain (PLL-FAC) conjugates based on structural differences found between FAC species. Twenty-one PLL-FAC models were used, from C8 to C24, and with up to 5 unsaturation levels (C20:5). Curve fitting of the 3050-2800 cm(-1) spectral interval permitted extraction of IR bands belonging to the stretching vibration modes of methyl, methylene, and alkene groups. Based on molecular structure models in 3D, the number and position of methyl bands could be set according to chain length and unsaturation level. Band positions for ν-(C = C < H), ν(as)(CH3), and ν(as)(CH2) groups did not follow the maximum intensity shift of spectrum curve; it is the underlying band's intensity that is modifying maximum intensity of spectrum curve with respect to chain length and unsaturation level. We thus propose to use FTIR spectroscopy for the production monitoring and the quality control of PLL-FAC conjugates used as nutritional complements, and this should be extended to analysis of fatty acid compounds in general.

Azurin, a bacterial blue-copper protein, has garnered significant attention as a potential anticancer drug in recent years. Among twenty Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, we identified one isolate that demonstrated potent and remarkable azurin synthesis using the VITEK 2 system and 16S rRNA sequencing. The presence of the azurin gene was confirmed in the genomic DNA using specific oligonucleotide primers, and azurin expression was also detected in the synthesized cDNA, which revealed that the azurin expression is active.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) has a high prevalence, with an estimated one-quarter of the world population affected by this pathological condition. Among the diseases of this syndrome are dysregulation of lipids, hypertension, and insulin resistance. Unfortunately, available drugs in the market used for treating MS, as almost 75% of all drugs, are highly insoluble, presenting a significant demand for strategies to increase their solubility.

This study introduces the development of a highly sensitive label-free electrochemical immunosensor specifically designed to detect prostate-specific antigen (PSA). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with Au nanoparticles/polyhedral hollow CoCu bimetallic sulfide (CuCoS) was employed as a sensing interface for the fixation of the monoclonal anti-PSA antibody. The nanoarchitectures enhanced the capacity for loading prostate-specific antibodies (Ab) and effectually boosted electrical conductivity leading to enhance the electrochemical signal and greater sensitivity for the detection of PSA.

In this study, a polysaccharide component was extracted from Pinus pumila using biomimetic-microwave assisted alkali tandem extraction and then purified by DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-200. A new purified polysaccharide (PSP c-a) was determined through in vitro tracking. The structural features were characterized using a HPGP, FTIR, IC and NMR spectroscopy.

Lipase enzymes play a vital role in digestion and nutrient metabolism in host organisms, with symbiotic bacteria producing abundant enzymes, carbohydrates, vitamins, and other nutrients. This study aimed to isolate, identify, and screen lipase-producing bacteria from the gut of Systomus sarana, optimize enzyme production using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), and characterize the extracted lipase protein. A total of 11 bacterial strains were isolated and identified through 16S rRNA sequencing.
