Abstract

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are important prebiotics synthesized by the enzymatic activity of inulosucrase, and understanding their molecular interactions is essential for exploring potential modulators. This study examined the interaction between inulosucrase from Aspergillus awamori (PDB ID: 1Y4W) and the compound EPE (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazine ethanesulfonic acid) using an in silico molecular docking approach. Since the 1Y4W structure lacks a co-crystallized ligand, EPE was selected as a surrogate ligand derived from PDB ID: 3SC7 and prepared for docking simulations. Docking with AutoDock Vina produced a best binding affinity of "“5.6 kcal/mol, with the strongest hydrogen bond observed with TRP305 (1.92 Ã…) and additional interactions with TYR279 (3.75 Ã…). These results indicate a moderate but stable interaction, weaker than the native substrate fructose reported in crystallographic studies. Overall, EPE shows potential as a modulatory compound of inulosucrase activity and provides a basis for further enzymological and biotechnological research.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer with good mechanical properties and hydrophilicity. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer widely used in medicine. Both have been researched for their potential in drug release and acceptance. This study aims to determine the role of BC and PVA as drug release matrices for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), with additional fillers such as graphite (G) and TiO2. The results showed that the composites with BC matrix had lower mechanical properties than those with PVA matrix, with tensile strength values of 6.4075 and 17.446 MPa, respectively. However, the BC matrix was superior in porosity and swelling ability. The drug release testing of TCH from the composites showed that the appropriate model to describe drug release in BC matrix composites was in zero order, while the PVA matrix was in first order. The antibacterial activity of the composites on both matrices was tested against Staphylococcus aureus. The results indicate that both composites have potential applications in promising biomedical fields.

Abstract

Potatoes are one of the staple crops widely cultivated worldwide, with significant production, especially in Europe and North America. However, the economic potential of potatoes has not been fully harnessed, particularly in villages like Sembalun Bumbung, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This article outlines a community engagement approach aimed at enhancing the understanding and skills of the community in utilizing potato flour as a valuable local resource. The implementation methodology involves three main approaches: knowledge transfer, technology transfer, and mentoring. The activities encompass education, hands-on training, as well as testing and evaluating processed potato flour products, particularly noodles. The results of the program demonstrate high enthusiasm among participants, who have successfully produced high-quality potato flour and noodles. This program provides new opportunities for the community to utilize potatoes as an additional source of income and has the potential to significantly boost the village's economy.

Abstract

Many studies have been conducted and developed on cellulose-based battery separator materials, including bacterial cellulose, which has characteristics like plant cellulose. This research aims to synthesize BC/Al2O3 composite and analyze its potential as a battery separator. The synthesis of the composite with the ex-situ method is to immerse BC from tofu liquid waste (fermentation time variation of 6, 7, and 8 days) into Al2O3 suspension. The characterization results showed that the immersion of Al2O3 in BC can increase porosity, electrolyte absorption, and conductivity, indicating that the composite has the potential to be used as a battery separator.

Abstract

Sponges are marine biota that makes up coral reefs that live on the bottom of the waters and have an important role in marine ecosystems. Sponges have bioactive components that have not been widely used by the community. This study aimed to analyze the content of secondary metabolites and the antibacterial activity of the sponge Stylotella sp. antibacterial activity test against Gram-negative (-) Escherichia coli and Gram-positive (+) Staphylococcus aureus was carried out using the good diffusion method. The results of antibacterial testing with various concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 ppm of the isolates showed that the zone of inhibition against E. coli was 11.3; 12; and 13 mm while for S. aureus was 12.3; 13; and 14 mm. The results of antibacterial testing with a concentration of 600 ppm of sponge extract showed an inhibition zone on E. coli and S. aureus in the amount of 13.3 and 14 mm, respectively. The test results showed that the sponge extract and isolate were in the intermediate category and were resistant to E. Coli bacteria. and S. Aureus

Abstract

Experimental corrosion tests and theoretical calculation were conduct to investigate the corrosion inhibition mechanism of black cumin seed extract for copper in 1 M H2SO4 solution. Electrochemical testing using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) method showed that BCS adsorbed to form a protective layer on the copper surface with high inhibition efficiency at 500 ppm concentration (73,35%). Increasing the BCS concentration up to 500 ppm causes the charge transfer resistance increase in the EIS measurement, while the corrosion current density measured by PDP decreases. The values of charge transfer resistance and corrosion current density at 500 ppm BCS are respectively 3687 .cm2 and 2.86 μA.cm-2. The BCS is a mixed inhibitor (anodic and cathodic) that adsorbs physically on the copper surface and obey the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model. Quantum chemical calculation and molecular dynamic simulation show that the studied BCS molecules adsorb strongly on the copper surface with parallel orientation mode. The methyl linoleate (MLIN) molecules from BCS produce the most stable adsorption energy of the other studied compound molecules as a result of molecular dynamic simulation.

Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biodegradable natural polymer with high mechanical strength and non-toxicity. This biopolymer is widely used as a candidate in biomedical fields, such as drug delivery, wound healing, and filtration systems. However, BC lacks antibacterial activity which limits its use in biomedical applications. So, modification of BC-based composite is required. This study aims to examine the effects of modifying BC-based composites with fillers such as graphite (G) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) on the release of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) drugs. Adding fillers to BC can alter its physical and mechanical properties, reducing its porosity and swelling rate in acidic and alkaline mediums. The drug release of TCH from modified BC-based composites follows the Korsmeyer-Peppas and Hixson-Crowell kinetics models. Adding filler and TCH antibiotic to the composite enhances its antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with a significant inhibition zone. The results of the inhibition zone show that composites have the potential to be applied in biomedical fields, especially in transdermal patches.

Abstract

Molecular docking is a widely applied computational approach for predicting the binding modes of small-molecule ligands within the active site of a target protein. This research investigated the interactions of mutant levansucrase E342A from Bacillus subtilis (PDB ID: 1PT2) for β-D-fructofuranose and D-glucopyranose ligands. Using AutoDock Vina, the docking results indicated that β-D-fructofuranose exhibited a higher binding energy of –5.6 kcal/mol, compared to D-glucopyranose with a value of –5.4 kcal/mol, suggesting a more stable interaction. It was supported by the binding interaction analysis of β-D-fructofuranose, which established five hydrogen bonds, including direct interactions with the key catalytic residues Asp86 (2.76 Å) and Asp247 (2.64 Å) that are essential for the enzymatic reaction. In contrast, D-glucopyranose formed four hydrogen bonds, involving Arg360 (3.07 Å) and Glu340 (2.64 Å), with most residues contributing to structural stabilization rather than direct catalysis. These results confirm that β-D-fructofuranose plays a crucial role as a determinant of levansucrase activity in the biosynthesis of levan-type FOS, which are known to exhibit strong prebiotic activity.
