Functional Nucleic Acid Sensors

Immobilization is often the key to optimizing the operational performance of an enzyme in industrial processes, particularly for use in non-aqueous media. Different methods for the immobilization of enzymes are critically reviewed. The methods are divided into three main categories, viz. (i) binding to a prefabricated support (carrier), (ii) entrapment in organic or inorganic polymer matrices, and (iii) cross-linking of enzyme molecules. Emphasis is placed on relatively recent developments, such as the use of novel supports, e.g., mesoporous silicas, hydrogels, and smart polymers, novel entrapment methods and cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs).

Enzyme immobilization: The quest for optimum performance

Natural products have been a rich source of compounds for drug discovery. However, their use has diminished in the past two decades, in part because of technical barriers to screening natural products in high-throughput assays against molecular targets. Here, we review strategies for natural product screening that harness the recent technical advances that have reduced these barriers. We also assess the use of genomic and metabolomic approaches to augment traditional methods of studying natural products, and highlight recent examples of natural products in antimicrobial drug discovery and as inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. The growing appreciation of functional assays and phenotypic screens may further contribute to a revival of interest in natural products for drug discovery.

The re-emergence of natural products for drug discovery in the genomics era

Utilization of polymers as biomaterials has greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Specifically, polymeric biomaterials that are biodegradable provide the significant advantage of being able to be broken down and removed after they have served their function. Applications are wide ranging with degradable polymers being used clinically as surgical sutures and implants. In order to fit functional demand, materials with desired physical, chemical, biological, biomechanical and degradation properties must be selected. Fortunately, a wide range of natural and synthetic degradable polymers has been investigated for biomedical applications with novel materials constantly being developed to meet new challenges. This review summarizes the most recent advances in the field over the past 4 years, specifically highlighting new and interesting discoveries in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications.

Biomedical Applications of Biodegradable Polymers

A simple experimental method is devised to determine the fraction of plasmid-harboring cells in a bioprocess employing recombinant mammalian cells. The fraction of plasmid-harboring cells decreased as serum content in the growth medium decreased. The relatively higher increase in the generation time of the plasmid-harboring cell was primarily responsible for this decrease. The mathematical expression obtained for this fraction in terms of the two parameters, i.e. the generation time ratio and the plasmid-loss probability, could represent the experimental data extremely well. The numerical values of these parameters could show the inherent insight of the system. It was found that the data plot against time can draw us to a misleading conclusion of the absence of the effect of serum concentration.

Plasmid stability in a recombinant mammalian cell bioprocess

Introduciton: The α,ω-diamines (NH2-(CH2)n-NH2) and ω -amino fatty acids (NH2-(CH2)n-COOH) have been widely used as building blocks in polymerindustries. Medium- to long-chain (C8 to C18) fatty acid monomers with amino residues are almost exclusively produced via chemical processes that generate hazardous waste and induce severe environmental problems, such as global warming and pollution. Here, we present the construction platformstrains of Yarrowia lipolytica a cheese-ripening yeast, for direct biotransformation of hydrocarbons into medium- to long-chain α,ω-diamines and ωamino fatty acids using metabolic engineering of endogenous fatty acid ω- and β-oxidation pathways and introducing heterologous ω-transaminase in Y. lipolytica. Methods: We deleted six genes encoding the acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO1–6) and four fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase genes (FALDH1-4), which catalyze fatty acid β-oxidation and downstream oxidation of fatty aldehydes in Y. lipolytica, respectively. The ω-transaminase from Chromobacterium violaceum DSM30191 was introduced into the genome of the ΔPOX ΔFALDH strain under the control of Y. lipolytica-derived EXP1 promoters. Results and Discussion: The ΔPOX ΔFALDH strains with ω-CvTA successfully accumulated the corresponding C12 αω-diamines into a shaking culture medium with dodecane or dodecanol. In addition, these strains accumulated C12 ω-amino fatty acids from dodecanoic acid. With the commercially available α,ω-diacid bioprocess, this yeast biosynthesis producing medium- and longchain α,ω-diamines and ω-amino fatty acids could complete the yeast platform technology generating all medium- and long-chain aliphatic polyamide monomers, α,ω-biofunctionalized with one or both carboxylic acid and amino residues.

Expression of soluble recombinant human matrix metalloproteinase 9 and generation of its monoclonal antibody.

This study reports surface characterization and patterning of fluorocarbon (FC) films for micro protein patterning. By means of a contact angle analysis and an atomic force microscope (AFM), we investigated various properties of FC films, such as surface energy, wettability, surface morphology, and surface roughness. The FC films were patterned by a lift-off process. Asahi Glass’s CYTOPrM film was very efficient in preventing nonspecific binding of protein below a concentration of 1 pgiml of the FITClabeled BSA.
