This study reports on removal of acrylamide from roasted coffee by acrylamidase from Cupriavidus oxalaticus ICTDB921. Chitosan coated calcium alginate beads were functionalized with citric acid as nontoxic cross linker and activated by 1-ethyl-3-(3-d...
We attempted to optimize sulfonamide-based non-alkyne LpxC inhibitors by focusing on improvements in enzyme inhibitory and antibacterial activity. It was discovered that inhibitors possessing 2-aryl benzofuran as a hydrophobe exhibited good activity....
Our previous work showed that lateral fluid percussion injury to the sensorimotor cortex (SMC) of anesthetized rats increased neuronal synaptic hyperexcitability in layer 5 (L5) neurons in ex vivo brain slices 10 days postinjury. Furthermore, endocan...
