Abstract

In the previous paper, we had succeeded in developing an early detection system of dengue viruses using Sugar liganded Gold Nano Particle (SGNP) only from 6 μL serum. It has been reported that dengue virus is also detected in the saliva and urine of the patient. The evidences lead to the possibility of developing non-invasive methods of dengue virus detection. In this in vitro study, we evaluated the utility of SGNP to capture and concentrate dengue virion in 10% saliva solution. The results showed that dengue virion was successfully detected in 10% of saliva solution. Analysis of virion stability during storage showed that virions in salivary samples were stable up to 3 days at temperature wherease the RNA has significantly degraded. Although still a preliminary study, the data obtained show the prospect of SGNP as a non-invasive dengue virus detection method, as well as the development of POC (Point of Care) method. Clinical trials using saliva from dengue viruses infected patients need to be done to prove the effectiveness of the SGNP method.

Abstract

Industrializing of tagatose requires enzymes that meet to industrial need such as thermophile, slightly acidic and metal independent. Previously, we cloned, sequenced and expressed L-arabinose isomerase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus isolated from Tanjung Api, Poso, Indonesia. Based on DNA alignment analysis, the gene had high homology with those of G. stearothermophilus T6 (Gene Bank Acc No: AAD45718) which has optimum activity at high temperature and alkaline condition. In this paper, we described site-directedmutagenesis approach to mutate Glu-269 (Q269) to Lys-269 (K269) to decrease the optimum pH of the strain. Sequencing result showed that mutagenesis had been successful to mutate amino acid at position 269 from glutamine (Q) into lysine (K). Expression of mutant Q269 showed protein with molecular mass ~56 kDa.
