Substrate and inhibitor specificities have been used to classify
esterases. The purpose of this work was to determine the substrate
and inhibitor specificities of the esterases in an aquous extract of
lyophilyzed carrots.
Esterase activity was determined manometrically at 37°C. The
optimum pH of the carrot esterases with several substrates...
This investigation was conducted to differentiate the esterases
in a water extract of freeze-dried green beans on the basis of inhibitor
and substrate specificities. An attempt was made to classify
these esterases according to the criteria used for animal esterases.
Activity of the esterases was measured manometrically using
the Gilson...
Environmental factors such as temperature, air, and water can have a profound
effect on the durability of asphalt concrete mixtures. In mild climates where good
quality aggregates and asphalt cement are available, the major contribution to
deterioration may be due to traffic loading and the resultant distress is manifested
in...
Phytophthora cinnamomi is a soilborne pathogen that causes root rot disease of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). When new installations of susceptible blueberry cultivars are infected with P. cinnamomi, plants often fail to grow significant new tissue, greatly reducing yields over the life of the planting. Chemical fungicides are available...
Ceramides are a group of lipids in the sphingolipid family that are potent cell signaling molecules. Elevations in ceramide levels above the norm generally lead to apoptosis. Evidence from in vitro studies suggests that accumulation of ceramides within mitochondria leads to dysfunction of the mitochondria. This includes inhibition of the...
