TL;DR: The advances in antibody engineering have now facilitated a more efficient and generally applicable method to produce Fv fragments, and the potential of scFv in breast cancer research is discussed in this paper.
Abstract: To date, generation of single-chain fragment variable (scFv) has become an established technique used to produce a completely functional antigen-binding fragment in bacterial systems. The advances in antibody engineering have now facilitated a more efficient and generally applicable method to produce Fv fragments. Basically, scFv antibodies produced from phage display can be genetically fused to the marker proteins, such as fluorescent proteins or alkaline phosphatase. These bifunctional proteins having both antigen-binding capacity and marker activity can be obtained from transformed bacteria and used for one-step immunodetection of biological agents. Alternatively, antibody fragments could also be applied in the construction of immunotoxins, therapeutic gene delivery, and anticancer intrabodies for therapeutic purposes. This paper provides an overview of the current studies on the principle, generation, and application of scFv. The potential of scFv in breast cancer research is also discussed in this paper.

TL;DR: A review of bio-based heterogeneous catalysts utilized for sustainable biodiesel production and their suitability for industrial application is presented in this article, where the use of these biomass derived catalysts provides a greener synthesis route for biodiesel synthesis.
Abstract: Biodiesel production is commonly carried out through the process of transesterification reaction. The reaction is expedited with a suitable catalyst either homogeneous or heterogeneous. The selection of an appropriate catalyst depends on the amount of free fatty acids in the oil. Recently, homogeneous catalysts are widely chosen for biodiesel production in large scale operation. However, they are toxic, highly flammable and corrosive in nature. Furthermore, the use of homogeneous catalyst produced soaps as by-product and large amount of wastewater that required additional processing technologies and cost for proper disposal. On the contrary, heterogeneous catalysts are capable to overcome the problems faced by the former ones. However, they were mostly derived from non-renewable resources, highly expensive with low stability. Recently, heterogeneous catalysts derived from biological waste have gotten more attention. This type of catalysts offers several advantages, including renewable resources, non-toxic, reusable, high catalytic activity, stability in both acidic and basic conditions and high water tolerance properties, which depend on the amount and strengths of active acid or basic sites. Basic catalyst can be subdivided based on the type of metal oxides and their derivatives. Similarly, acidic catalyst can be subdivided depending upon their active acidic sites. In this article, efforts have been taken to review the bio-based heterogeneous catalyst utilized for sustainable biodiesel production and their suitability for industrial application. Catalyst generated from bio-waste and other biocatalysts, which are heterogeneous in nature and extensively reported in literature are also reviewed. The utilization of these biomass derived catalysts provides a greener synthesis route for biodiesel production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth by incorporating capital and labour as potential determinants of production function in case of Pakistan using auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and rolling window approach for cointegration in context of Pakistan.
Abstract: The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth by incorporating capital and labour as potential determinants of production function in case of Pakistan. This study used auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and rolling window approach (RWA) for cointegration in context of Pakistan. The study used quarterly data over the period of 1972Q1–2011Q4. The causality analysis applied through VECM Granger causality and innovative accounting approaches. The results reveal that all the variables in the study are cointegrated that shows the long run relationship between the variables. Furthermore, renewable energy consumption, capital and labour boost economic growth. The causality analysis shows the feedback effect between economic growth and renewable energy consumption.
