Interactions of Trichoderma reesei exo-acting cellulases with p-aminophenyl 1-thio-β-D-cellobioside

Creator:: Piyachomkwan, Kuakoon
Abstract:: Cellulolytic enzymes capable of efficiently degrading crystalline cellulose are a complex mixture of endo- (endoglucanases) and exo-acting (cellobiohydrolases) enzymes. One approach to separating these enzymes is affinity chromatography. A new ligand, p-aminophenyl l-thio-β-D-cellobioside (APTC), is introduced for this purpose. The property of APTC in affinity chromatography is demonstrated using Trichoderma...

Aspects of the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans

Creator:: Principal de D'Aubeterre, Judith
Abstract:: Aspects concerning the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans were investigated. Mite mortality is great during the winter season when the host colony is not rearing brood, appearing to be independent of the mortality of its host. In winter period, no significant association between the...

Characteristics of compacted soils from Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Goh, Hock Swee
Abstract:: Soil samples and soil clods were collected from ten potato fields in Eastern Oregon. An index of grain size distribution was sought that would correlate well with compacted soil bulk density. The Hazen coefficient of uniformity was best related to bulk density. The limitations of various indices and their relationship...

Determination of quality parameters for the Pacific whiting fishery using neural network and induction modeling

Creator:: Peters, Gregory J.
Abstract:: Pacific whiting, with a maximum sustainable yield between 150,000 and 250,000 metric tons, is the largest stock of fish found off Oregon. The majority of the fish are processed into surimi. Hundreds of variables could potentially affect surimi quality (gel strength). Alternative harvesting and processing input combinations, as well as...

Abstract:: A novel type of model substrates, i.e. immobilized p-aminophenyl-β-D-cellooligosaccharides, was developed and used in the study of exocellulases. The two major cellobiohydrolases from Trichoderma reesei, CBH I and CBH II were used as representative enzymes. p-Aminophenyl derivatives of cellobiose (PAPG₂), cellotriose (PAPG₃), and cellotetraose (PAPG₄) were synthesized from the reaction...
