Enzyme-assisted extraction of bioactives from plants
Munish Puri, Deepika Sharma, Colin J. Barrow. Demand for new and novel natural compounds has intensified the development of plant-derived compounds known as bioactives that either promote health or are toxic when ingested. Enhanced release of….
Emerging technologies for point-of-care CD4 T-lymphocyte counting
David S. Boyle, Kenneth R. Hawkins, Matthew S. Steele, Mitra Singhal, Xuanhong Cheng. A CD4 T-lymphocyte count determines eligibility for antiretroviral therapy (ART) in patients recently diagnosed with HIV and also monitors the efficacy of ART treatment thereafter. ART slows … Continue reading
Bioluminescence imaging: progress and applications
Christian E. Badr, Bakhos A. Tannous. Application of bioluminescence imaging has increased tremendously in the past decade and has significantly contributed to core conceptual advances in biomedical research. This technology provides ….
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases: an update on perspectives for synthetic application
Vlada B. Urlacher, Marco Girhard. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are versatile biocatalysts that catalyze the regio- and stereospecific oxidation of non-activated hydrocarbons under mild conditions, which is a challenging t….
Improving photosynthesis for algal biofuels: toward a green revolution
Patrick G. Stephenson, C. Mark Moore, Matthew J. Terry, Mikhail V. Zubkov, Thomas S. Bibby. Biofuels derived from marine algae are a potential source of sustainable energy that can contribute to future global demands. The realisation of this potential will … Continue reading
