Abstract

The in silico studies of interactions between the human pancreatic α-amylase (HPA) enzyme to α, β, and γ-mangostin ligands has been carried out using the molecular docking method. Ligands α, β, and γ-mangostin interacting through the formation of hydrogen and van der waals bonds to residues on the enzyme active side. The α-mangostin ligands resulting seven hydrogen and six van der waals bonds with the residues involved were Trp59, Gln63, Trp96, Thr163, Thr164, Ala198, His201, Glu233, and Asp300. β-mangostin resulting five hydrogen and eight van der waals bonds with residues involved were Gln63, Trp96, Thr163, Thr164, Arg195, Asp197, His201, Glu233, Asp300, and His305; while γ-mangostin forms nine hydrogen and five van der waals bonds with residues involved were Trp59, Gln63, Trp96, Thr163, Asp197, Ala198, His201, Glu233, and Asp300. The binding affinity of α, β, and γ-mangostin to the HPA enzyme obtained were -7.0; -6.6; and -7.4 kcal/mol with root mean square deviation (RMSD) value were 1,850; 1,956; and 1,811 Å respectively. Ligand γ-mangostin has potential activity as an inhibitor of HPA enzyme due to the stabilization of the complexes formation with lower binding affinity (validated with RMSD value) when compared to α and β-mangostin.

Abstract

Maluku memiliki banyak potensi sumber daya alam khususnya dalam bidang pertanian seperti tanaman perkebunan. Salah satu tanaman perkebunan palawija yang memiliki arti strategi bagi bangsa Indonesia adalah kelapa (Cocos Nucifera L.). Masyarakat Maluku selama ini komoditas kelapa baru sebatas dimanfaatkan pada produk primernya saja dalam bentuk kelapa segar maupun kopra untuk bahan baku minyak goreng. Hasil samping dan limbah belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal, sehingga belum dapat dihasilkan nilai tambah yang berarti secara ekonomi. Oleh karena itu, sebagai bentuk implementasi dari tugas Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi dalam bidang pengabdian, maka jurusan Kimia FMIPA Unpatti tergerak untuk memberikan penyuluhan dan pendampingan kepada masyarakat desa Morella dalam pengembangan pengolahan limbah air kelapa menjadi Nata de Coco sehingga dapat memberikan manfaat dari segi perekonomian terhadap masyarakat desa. Pemanfaatan limbah air kelapa dilakukan dengan menambahkan mikroba acetobacter xylinum yang berfungsi sebagai starter pembentukan nata de coco. Pembuatan nata de coco dari air kelapa menjadi bahan tambahan pengetahuan dan informasi yang nantinya dapat dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat desa Morella untuk mengahsilkan produk bernilai ekonomi.

Abstract

Pada saat kegiatan Pertambangan Emas Tanpa Ijin (PETI) marak terjadi di Gunung Botak, Namlea (Tahun 2011-2016), banyak penduduk Desa Tifu yang mengolah emas menggunakan merkuri di halaman belakang rumah mereka. Secara teori, 30% dari merkuri yang digunakan akan terbuang ke lingkungan. Bekas area tromol telah dijadikan lahan pertanian sehingga sangat berpotensi terjadi biomagnifikasi, yaitu masuknya merkuri manusia melalui bahan makanan. Hasil analisis laboratorium menunjukkan bahwa ekosistem (tanah dan tumbuhan) di Desa Tifu telah terkontaminasi dengan merkuri. Kegiatan Pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan untuk memberikan data valid sekaligus edukasi kepada masyarakat tentang kontaminasi merkuri pada ekosistem bekas area tromol (tanah, tumbuhan dan hewan). Kegiatan ini juga meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat tentang dampak buruk bagi kesehatan.

Abstract

Tanaman rempah yang terkenal dari daerah Maluku di antaranya pala, kayu putih, dan cengkeh. Kandungan senyawa kimia tanaman rempah menjadikannya memiliki aroma yang khas dengan beragam manfaat serta nilai jual yang tinggi. Akan tetapi, pemanfaatan tanaman rempah sejauh ini belum maksimal terutama dari segi pendapatan masyarakat lokal. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan inovasi untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomis dari tanaman tersebut bagi masyarakat. Hal ini dapat dilakukan melalui pelatihan pengembangan produk berbahan dasar rempah bagi ibu-ibu kelompok Bakopel Jemaat Bethania, Kelurahan Uritetu, Kecamatan Sirimau, Kota Ambon. Pelaksanan kegiatan pengabdian dimulai dengan eksperimen laboratorium, pelatihan pembuatan produk sabun dan lilin aroma rempah, dan promosi awal produk. Hasil yang diperoleh ibu-ibu belajar dan berlatih secara langsung pembuatan sabun dan lilin aroma terapi dengan menggunakan bahan dan peralatan yang dapat diperoleh di toko atau swalayan terdekat. Ibu-ibu juga diberikan penjelasan terkait proses pengemasan produk serta teknik pemasaran yang baik dan benar. Produk sabun dan lilin yang berhasil dibuat kelompok bakopel pasca pelatihan juga dipromosikan pada kegiatan Amboina Farmers Market di Lapangan Merdeka Ambon yang khusus memamerkan produk UMKM. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diharapkan dapat terus dilanjutkan melalui pendampingan secara berkala sebelum kelompok ini bisa mandiri.
