Objectives: Soybeans have various positive effects on health, including anti-inflammatory and preventing kidney damage. There is concern regarding the phytoestrogen content due to the high isoflavone content in soybeans. Various forms of soybean processing have been tried; in this study, the hydrolysis method will be used to obtain the active substance Arginine-Glycine-Aspartate (RGD) tripeptide in soybean protein hydrolyzed by bromelain (SPHB).

At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), thiopurine metabolites are measured by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV). Whole blood samples are lysed and subjected to hydrolysis with derivatisation of 6MMP before HPLC-UV detection at 304nm for the 6MMP-derivative and 342nm for 6TG.

Selective PDE4B radioligands hold significant potential for elucidating disease mechanisms, such as those in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, and enabling target occupancy measurements. In this study, we developed [ F]P4B-2412, a novel PDE4B-selective radioligand, and evaluated its utility for positron emission tomography imaging (PET).

Unlabelled: The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) (400-650 MPa) and holding temperature (25-50 °C) in thermally assisted HHP processing on multi-scale structure of starch (granule, crystalline and molecular), techno-functional properties, and digestibility of sorghum starch (SS) were evaluated. Response surface methodology has verified that the process impact on the modification of SS was dependent primarily on the pressure level. As HHP increased, processed SS progressively lost their granular structure and Maltese cross, indicating gradual structural disorder within the granules.

Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form a ubiquitous superfamily of integral membrane proteins involved in the translocation of substrates across membranes. Human ABC transporters are closely linked to the pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. In this study, four ABC transporters were chosen based on (I) their importance in humans and (II) their score in a structural bioinformatics screen aimed at the prediction of crystallisation propensity.
