Starch-based isomalto/malto-polysaccharides (IMMPs) are soluble dietary fibres produced by the incubation of α-(1 → 4) linked glucans with the 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (GTFB) enzyme. In this study, we investigated the reaction dynamics of the GTFB enzyme by using isoamylase debranched starches as simplified linear substrates. Modification of α-glucans by GTFB was investigated over time and analysed with H NMR, HPSEC, HPAEC combined with glucose release measurements. We demonstrate that GTFB modification of linear substrates followed a substrate/acceptor model, in which α-(1 → 4) linked glucans DP ≥ 6 functioned as donor substrate, and α-(1 → 4) linked malto-oligomers DP < 6 functioned as acceptor. The presence of α-(1 → 4) linked malto-oligomers DP < 6 resulted in higher GTFB transferase activity, while their absence resulted in higher GTFB hydrolytic activity. The information obtained in this study provides a better insight into GTFB reaction dynamics and will be useful for α-glucan selection for the targeted synthesis of IMMPs in the future.

Aim: The early diagnosis of atherosclerotic changes to prevent ischemic events represents a clinical challenge.Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as an established diagnostic in the field of prostate cancer also appears to detect neovascularization and inflammation in other diseases. We hypothesized that it might be also suited for detection of inflammation in atherosclerosis.

Objective: To provide the reference for the stentless aortic valve design with the study of the inner configuration of porcine aortic root.
Methods: The orifice areas of porcine aortic root at 4 levels (OA1 to 4), the average area of leaflets (Sa), the area analogue of leaflets (AA, AA = 1/2PH), the average area analogue of leaflets (AAa), the value PH of the left, right, non coronary leaflets (PHl, PHr, PHn) and the sums of PHs of the left and non-coronary leaflets (PHln) in the fresh and glutaraldehyde and epichlorohydrin-treated porcine aortic valves (20 respectively) were measured and calculated. The linear correlation and regression analysis by SPSS 12.
Functional mapping of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Prp45 identifies the SNW domain as essential for viability.

The essential gene product Prp45 (379 aa) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a highly conserved, but N-terminally abridged, ortholog of the human transcriptional coactivator SKIP, which is involved in TGFbeta, Notch, and steroid hormone signaling. We used a diploid strain harboring PRP45 deletion, which is inviable in the haploid, to test for complementation with the truncated versions of Prp45. The N-terminal half of the protein (aa 1 to 190), denoted as the SNW domain, was found sufficient to support the essential function.

Four metabolites were demonstrated by the analytical method: 4-methylaminoantipyrine (MAA), 4-aminoantipyrine (AA), 4-formylaminoantipyrine (FAA) and 4-acetylaminoantipyrine (AAA). A good correlation was found between the plasma and milk concentrations of the metabolites.
