Abstract

An investigation on purification and characterization of amyloglucosidase enzyme from Endomycopsis fibuligera by fermentation of sago starch has been carried out. This enzyme is inductive and can be produced by fermenting sago starch in a medium containing E. fibuligera. Crude enzyme was obtained by centrifuging the medium cultures containing E. fibuligera at 6,000 rpm for 20 min and then adding with 0.15 M acetate buffer (pH 5.0). Enzyme activity was determined using Somogyi-Nelson method by quantifying the released glucose from amyloglucosidase catalysis of starch (0.2%) as substrate. Prepurification process was conducted by ammonium sulphate fractionation and it showed that the ammonium sulphate fractionation with the degree of saturation of 40-60% produced a maximum activity of enzyme. Purification by DEAE-Cellulose and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography produced three and one fractions with purifity 17.4 and 22.5 times, respectively, compared to the crude extract enzyme. Characterization of this enzyme showed the optimum condition at pH 5.0 and 55 °C with 0.2% starch as substrate. The amyloglucosidase activities was strongly increased by addition of Co2+ and Mn2+ ions, whereas the activities were weakly decreased by addition of K+, Mg2+, and Fe3+ ions.

Abstract

In this study, we cloned and sequenced cDNA encoding the chicken p46 polypeptide, RbAp46. The cDNA encoding a protein consists of 424 amino acids is a member of the WD protein family, with seven WD repeat motifs, and exhibits 90.3% identity to RbAp48, and 94.3% identity to the human RbAp46. The RbAp46 fusion protein were synthesized by in vitro translation system and in Escherichia coli under induction by 50 µM IPTG and single step purified with glutathione-Agarose beads, showed that GST-tagged protein of approximately 72 kDa. The in vitro experiment established that RbAp46 interacts with chicken histones, chHDAC-1, and chHAT-1. The in vitro immunoprecipitation experiment, involving truncated mutants of RbAp46, revealed not only that two regions comprising amino acids 33-179 and 375-404 are necessary for its binding to H2B, but also that two regions comprising amino acids 1-32 and 405-424 are necessary for its binding to H4. Furthermore, the GST pulldown affinity assay, involving truncated mutants of RbAp46, revealed that a region comprising amino acids 359-404 binds to chHAT-1 in vitro. Taken together, these results indicate not only that RbAp46 should participate differentially in a number of DNA-utilizing processes through interactions of its distinct regions with histones and chHAT-1, but also that the proper propeller structure of RbAp46 is not necessary for its interaction with chHAT-1.

Abstract

Chromatin assembly factor-1 (CAF-1), a protein complex consisting of three subunits, p150, p60, and p48, is highly conserved from yeast to humans and facilitated nucleosome assembly of newly replicated DNA. The p48 subunit, CAF-1p48 (p48), with seven WD (Trp-Asp) repeat motifs, is a member of the WD protein family. The immunoprecipitation experiment revealed that ß-propeller structure of p48 was less stringent for it's binding to HDAC-1, but more stringent for its binding to both histones H4 and CAF-1p60 but not to ASF-1, indicating that the proper ß-propeller structure of p48 is essential for the binding to these two proteins histone H4 and CAF-1p60. Complementation experiments, involving missense and truncated mutants of FLAG-tagged p48, revealed that mutations of every of seven WD dipeptide motifs, like both the N-terminal and C-terminal truncated mutations, could not rescue for the tet-induced lethality. These results indicate not only that p48 is essential for the viability of vertebrate cells, although the yeast p48 homolog is nonessential, but also that all the seven WD dipeptide motifs are necessary for the maintenance of the proper structure of p48 that is fundamentally important for cell viability.

Abstract

The importance of essential metal ions and their metal complexes in the creation of prospective medical therapies has long been recognized. In chemistry, molecular biology, and medicinal fields; the interaction of metal complexes with DNA has been a subject of study. The dithiocarbamate essential metal complex is described extensively in the literature for its various benefits and advantages. With proper use of ligands, it is proven to increase the cytotoxic activity of metal complexes against cancer cells. Some researches have shown significant progress regarding the biological activities of the dithiocarbamate essential metal complex as antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer agents. Metal complexes form complexes with dithiocarbamate ligands with unique structural variations. In this study, we presented an overview of the cytotoxic effects of some dithiocarbamate essential metal complexes on cancer cells, as well as fresh approaches to the design of essential metal-based therapeutics containing dithiocarbamate and molecular targets in cancer therapy. This review may provide an update on recent developments in the medicinal use of essential metals with dithiocarbamate ligands, carried out to identify recent relevant literature. Finally, we predict that the essential metal complexed with dithiocarbamate can be a new breakthrough in the future development of cancer drugs.

Abstract

Telah dilakukan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan tujuan untuk mengenalkan pemanfaaatan bahan alam sebagai alternatif kosmetik kepada remaja.Tampil cantik adalah dambaan remaja yang sedang tumbuh menuju dewasa. Pada masa ini, remaja lebih senang berdandan, karena itu, siswi remaja banyak yang menggunakan produk skin care dan kosmetik ke sekolah. Seiring perkembangan zaman, kosmetik merupakan kebutuhan sehari-hari. Melihat banyaknya para wanita gemar menggunakan make up, banyak produk kecantikan yang ditawarkan baik dari segi harga, tekstur, formula hingga jenis. Namun ada beberapa produk kosmetik yang aman untuk kulit remaja dan tidak baik jika tercampur dengan bahan kimia. Banyak kosmetik yang tidak layak beredar di pasaran saat ini karena mengandung bahan yang tidak diizinkan digunakan di dalam kosmetik dan tidak mempunyai nomor registrasi. Bahan tersebut antara lain merkuri, hidrokinon, dan asam retinoat. Kesadaran akan kandungan kimia yang berbahaya bagi wajah menjadi pertimbangan kuat banyak wanita yang beralih menggunakan kosmetik berbahan herbal. Dengan penggunaan bahan herbal, wajah cantik tanpa efek samping jangka panjang. Kosmetik alami adalah produk kecantikan tanpa bahan kimia berbahaya yang mudah dibuat. Ada beberapa bahan herbal dengan khasiatnya masing-masing dan banyak dijadikan untuk kosmetik, antara lain: Kumyit, Lidah Buaya, Tomat., Seledri. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan secara daring melalui aplikasi zoom, dengan jumlah peserta 10 orang dari SMK Farmasi Manado. Pemahaman peserta dilakukan melalui diskusi pemahaman materi. Kata kunci :Bahan alam, Kosmetik Remaja.

Abstract

Cellulose is a biopolymer that is widely applied in various fields. Modification of cellulose is needed to increase the added value of cellulose. One of these cellulose derivatives is cellulose succinate. This study aims to synthesize succinic cellulose using succinic acid. This research covers the synthesis of cellulose succinate via esterification reaction with a variation of succinic acid (1.6%; 2.4%; 3.2% and 4.0%), DS determination by titration method, and characterization with FTIR. Based on the synthesis results, the optimum DS was obtained at 2.4% succinic acid (SS3) concentration, namely 0.692. The results of the characterization with FTIR also showed the presence of a C=O absorption band indicating the presence of cellulose succinate monoester.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the role of thermal treatment on the crystallinity and pore characteristics of porous ceramic, which was prepared from natural clay (NC) and chitosan (CS) biopolymer using the gel casting method. CS was used as an environmentally friendly pore-forming agent. The applied temperature treatment was based on thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) results and followed a sintering temperature of 900 to 1100 °C. The results showed that at sintering temperatures from 900 to 1000 °C, the crystallinities of the ceramic decrease (from 76.06 to 74.06%) and the crystallite size decreases (from 35.71 to 34.47 nm) while the lattice strain increases (calculated from the Full Width at Half Maximum (β) of the diffraction peak). The highest porosity of ceramic occurred at a sintering temperature of 1000 °C of 37.82 ± 0.19, but the formation of heterogeneous microstructure was observed. The resulting pore size for all temperature treatments was almost mesoporous (19.1 Å). Based on the results obtained, it is emphasized that the sintering temperature can be used to adjust the porosity and microstructure of porous ceramics.
