β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase 1 (B4GALT1) is an important member of the β-1,4-galactosyltransferase family and a prototypical type II transmembrane Golgi glycosyltransferase. It uses UDP-galactose as the donor to transfer galactose in a β-1,4 linkage to N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and related ...
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is a heme-dependent peroxidase isolated from the root tissue of horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) and belongs to the oxidoreductase family. HRP uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) or organic peroxides as oxidants to catalyze the oxidation of a wide variety of aromatic ...
Curing agents (also commonly referred to as hardeners or crosslinkers) are key components that chemically react with reactive functional groups in a resin, converting the system from a flowable/applicable state into a three-dimensional crosslinked network that is difficult to remelt and offers ...
Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers (AEOs; Alcohol Ethoxylates) are a classic and widely used class of nonionic surfactants. They play important roles in industrial applications—including household and personal-care cleaning, emulsification and dispersion, wetting, and solubilization—and ...
Fluorinated polyimide (PI) monomers generally refer to dianhydrides, diamines, and dihydric phenols (or other monomers capable of forming an imide-containing backbone) used to synthesize fluorinated polyimides (FPI) and related copolymers. In mainstream PI backbone construction, the most common ...
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer with a carbon–carbon backbone and abundant hydroxyl (–OH) groups on the side chains.
Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs, also commonly written as NP-n) are a class of nonionic surfactants produced by ethoxylation of nonylphenol (NP) with ethylene oxide (EO) under catalytic conditions. A key feature of NPEs is that the EO (ethoxy) chain length is variable, resulting in a homologous ...
Hyaluronidases are a class of enzymes that degrade hyaluronic acid (HA); depending on their source and type, they may also act on certain related glycosaminoglycans, and they include both hydrolytic hyaluronidases and lyase-type hyaluronan lyases. Hyaluronic acid is widely distributed in the ...
Lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) is a small, basic hydrolase widely distributed in human and animal body fluids, plant tissues, and certain microorganisms. It specifically hydrolyzes the β-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in bacterial cell wall ...
