AmpC β-Lactamases (Cephalosporinases): Mechanisms of Production, Diagnostic Pathways, and Research and Clinical Applications
Cephalosporinases are β-lactamase phenotypes characterized by preferential hydrolysis of cephalosporins and play a major role in antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative bacteria.
Phytase: Enzymological Properties, Mechanism of Action, and Applications in Feed and Food
Phytase is an enzyme preparation classified as a phosphomonoesterase. It catalyzes stepwise dephosphorylation of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (phytate; myo-inositol hexakisphosphate, IP6), releasing inorganic phosphate and reducing the strong chelation of minerals such as Ca2+, Zn2+, Fe2+/Fe3+, ...
Chlorophyll: Structural Features, Physicochemical Properties, and Key Points for Research and Industrial Applications
Chlorophyll is a class of green pigments broadly present in higher plants and other photosynthetic organisms, playing a central role in light harvesting and energy transfer during photosynthesis.
Bromelain: Enzymological Properties and Key Points for Food, Pharmaceutical, and Industrial Applications
Bromelain is a class of thiol protease (cysteine protease) mixtures primarily derived from pineapple juice, peel, and stem tissues. It is typically a pale yellow to light brown amorphous powder with a slight characteristic odor, and an approximate molecular weight on the order of 3.3 × 10^4.
Hemicellulases: A Review of Substrate Specificity, Catalytic Systems, and Research and Industrial Applications
Hemicellulose is the second most abundant polysaccharide component of plant cell walls after cellulose. It is highly heterogeneous in structure and is typically composed of xylans, mannans, arabinans, and diverse side-chain substituents, forming a tightly intertwined network with lignin through ...
Micrococcal Nuclease (MNase): A Technical Review of Enzymatic Properties, Reaction Control, and Research and Biomanufacturing Applications
Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) is a classical endonuclease preparation for nucleic acids (a historical name). Common commercial preparations are derived from Staphylococcus-related strains and can act on single-stranded and double-stranded DNA as well as RNA.
Chymosin: A Review of Molecular Features, Coagulation Kinetics, and Activity Evaluation
Chymosin (also known as rennin) is one of the most representative milk-clotting enzyme preparations used in cheese manufacturing and in studies of milk-protein colloids.
Fluconazole: Physicochemical Properties, Mechanism of Action, and Key Points for Clinical and Research Applications
Fluconazole is a triazole antifungal agent (commonly categorized within the azole antifungal class) with the molecular formula C13H12F2N6O, molecular weight 306.271, and CAS No. 86386-73-4.
