Objective: The objective was to determine a new experimental material, indomethacin's inhibitory effect on the enzymatic activity of dentin collagen.
Materials And Methods: Fifteen freshly extracted teeth were collected and stored at 4°C until use. Enamel, roots, and remnant pulp tissue were removed, and dentin powder was obtained by pulverizing liquid nitrogen-frozen coronal dentin with a mortar pestle. The obtained protein extract from human dentin powder was treated with indomethacin and incubated. The inhibition of enzymatic activity was analyzed using plate assay method and zymographic analysis.
Results: Plate assay method and zymograms showed that indomethacin-treated samples inhibited dentin enzymatic activity.
Significance: Bond strength at the dentin adhesive interface decreases because of the hydrolytic degradation of dentin collagen. The inhibition of enzymes responsible for collagen degradation may improve the bond strength durability. This study demonstrates the efficacy of indomethacin in inhibiting enzymatic activity.

Copper, an essential trace element and biochemical cofactor in humans plays a critical role in maintaining health. Recent studies have identified a significant association between copper levels and the progression and metastasis of cancer. Copper is primarily absorbed in the intestinal tract, often leading to an imbalance of copper ions in the body.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-proteinogenic amino acid, exhibits diverse physiological functions and finds extensive applications in food, medicine, and various industries. Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) can effectively convert L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) or monosodium glutamate (MSG) into GABA. However, the low food-grade expression of GAD has hindered large-scale GABA production.

Ensuring detection performance and shelf life is crucial for analytical devices. Advances in materials and reaction mechanisms have improved detection performance, yet extending the operational lifetime of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs)─especially those reliant on sensitive enzymes─remains a challenge. Here, we present an alternative to air-drying and lyophilization: loading enzymes suspended in 2-propanol (iPrOH).

Effects of enzymolysis by seven proteases (Alcalase, Bromelain, Flavourzyme, Papain, Pepsin, Protamex, and Trypsin) with distinct cleavage specificities on the emulsification performance of hempseed protein (HPI) and its correlation with the structural and interfacial characteristics were explored in this study. Upon enzymolysis, a remarkable decrease in α-helix and β-turn was observed in resultant hydrolysates (HPH), accompanied by a rise in β-sheet and random coil, notably by Alcalase, Bromelain, Papain, and Trypsin. Overall, proteolysis led to noticeable reductions in surface hydrophobicity and total sulfhydryls as well as a redshift in intrinsic fluorescence, with Papain showing the most pronounced effects, possibly due to its higher hydrolysis degree (4.
