Article Abstract
The aim of the study was to identify new sources of substrate from agro-industrial waste for protease production using Bacillus sp., a local bacteria isolated from an agro-waste dumping site. The strain was identified as Bacillus sp. BT MASC 3 by 16S rRNA sequence followed by phylogenic analysis. Response surface methodology-based Box-Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimize the variables such as pH, incubation time, coffee pulp waste (CPW) and corncob (CC) substrate concentration. The BBD design showed a reasonable adjustment of the quadratic model with the experimental data. Statistics-based contour and 3-D plots were generated to evaluate the changes in the response surface and understand the relationship between the culture conditions and the enzyme yield. The maximum yield of protease production (920 U/mL) was achieved after 60 h of incubation with 3.0 g/L of CPW and 2.0 g/L of CC at pH 8 and temperature 37 °C in this study. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was 46 kDa. The highest activity was obtained at 50 °C and pH 9 for the purified enzymes.

Background: Cardiac ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious consequence of reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction (MI). Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a calcium-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the citrullination of proteins. In previous studies, PAD4 inhibition protected distinct organs from I/R injury by preventing the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and attenuating inflammatory responses.

In this contribution, Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) is employed to investigate the (3 + 2) cycloaddition reaction between ()--methyl--(2-furyl)-nitrone 1 and but-2-ynedioic acid 2. DFT calculations at the M06-2X-D3/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory under solvent-free conditions at room temperature show that this reaction proceeds CA3-Z diastereoselectivity, with the formation of the CA3-Z cycloadduct being both thermodynamically and kinetically more favoured than the CA4-Z one. Reactivity parameters obtained from CDFT calculations reveal that compound 1 predominantly behaves as a nucleophile with moderate electrophilic features, in contrast to compound 2, which demonstrates strong electrophilicity and limited nucleophilic ability.

Background: Escherichia coli ST131 and clade H30Rx are the most prevalent extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing E. coli (ESBL-EC) causing bacteremia and urinary tract infections globally and in Sweden. Previous studies have linked ST131-H30Rx with septic shock and mortality, as well as prolonged carriage.

We have developed the methylotrophic yeast Ogataea minuta as a useful host for producing heterologous proteins. In this study, a double mutant that lacks the Prb1 protease and alcohol oxidase was generated and applied for heterologous protein production. Upon our optimization of the fermentation conditions, such as feeding of carbon and nitrogen sources and pH control, this mutant showed increased production of human serum albumin, resulting in a yield of approximately 7.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 632 AIS patients who received alteplase treatment at our hospital between September 2019 and October 2023. After applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 172 patients were included in the analysis: 35 patients in the DVT group and 137 patients in the non-DVT group.
