Book ChapterDOI
Hemicellulases: Their Occurrence, Purification, Properties, and Mode of Action
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the literature on hemicellulases from 1950 to 1973, and discusses those enzyme preparations that have employed in protein purification procedures, been shown to be homogeneous.
Journal ArticleDOI
From plant biomass to bio-based chemicals: latest developments in xylan research.
TL;DR: This review discusses the latest research developments in extraction and purification methodologies, and chemical modification, as well as the analytical methods necessary for xylan related research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metformin induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest mediated by oxidative stress, AMPK and FOXO3a in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Eveline A.I.F. Queiroz,Stephanie Puukila,Rosangela Aparecida dos Santos Eichler,Sandra Coccuzzo Sampaio,Heidi Forsyth,Simon J. Lees,Aneli M. Barbosa,Robert F.H. Dekker,Zuleica Bruno Fortes,Neelam Khaper +9 more
TL;DR: Results show that metformin has an antiproliferative effect associated with cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, which is mediated by oxidative stress, as well as AMPK and FOXO3a activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioconversion of hemicellulose: aspects of hemicellulase production by Trichoderma reesei QM 9414 and enzymic saccharification of hemicellulose.
TL;DR: The ‐;xylosidase was demonstrated to play an important role in the overall conversion of heteroxylan into xylose that is analogous to the role of β‐glucosid enzyme in the saccharification of cellulose by cellulases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of laccase production by Botryosphaeria sp. in the presence of veratryl alcohol by the response-surface method
Ana Flora Dalberto Vasconcelos,Aneli M. Barbosa,Robert F.H. Dekker,Ieda Spacino Scarminio,Maria Inês Rezende +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of veratryl alcohol and yeast extract concentration, time of cultivation and agitation speed were evaluated by factorial analysis to select variables for optimizing the production of laccases.
