Fabian Fernandez-Luquentilde,Fern,o Lopez-Valdez,Prócoro Gamero-Melo,Silvia Luna-Suárez,Elsa Nadia Aguilera-González,Arturo I. Martinez,María del Socorro García-Guillermo,Gildardo Hernandez-Martinez,Raul Herrera-Mendoza,Manuel Antonio Alvarez-Garza,Ixchel Rubi Perez-Velazquez +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, heavy metal pollution in drinking water, the incorporation of them into the food chain, and their implications as a global risk for the human health, are the objectives of this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of the amaranth 11S globulin storage protein to produce an inhibitory peptide of the angiotensin I converting enzyme, and its expression in Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The expressed and purified subunit after its engineered modification, may be useful for preventing hypertension and for other medical purposes, and its activity is comparable with other hydrolyzed proteins reported as high active inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moringa straw as cellulase production inducer and cellulolytic fungi source
Elva Lorena Vázquez-Montoya,Lelie Denise Castro-Ochoa,Ignacio E. Maldonado-Mendoza,Silvia Luna-Suárez,Claudia Castro-Martínez +4 more
TL;DR: This is the first report on the use of M. oleifera biomass to induce the production of various cellulases in P. funiculosum and the enzymatic extracts produced by these fungi have biotechnological potential especially for second-generation bioethanol production from moringa straw.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of a modified protein from amaranth seed in Escherichia coli and effect of environmental conditions on the protein expression
TL;DR: The results indicated that the yield of modified protein could be increased by up 3-fold in bioreactor as compared with flask, and the temperature, the agitation speed and the oxygen were significant factors on the expression of the antihypertensive protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression and characterization of the acidic subunit from 11S Amaranth seed protein.
TL;DR: The expression of the amarantin acidic subunit, together with the one‐step purification will facilitate further investigation of this storage protein through site‐directed mutagenesis.
