Abstract:
Usually the enzymes have played a role in enhancing prodrug activation for active targeting by an antibody. In routine practice the use of enzymes is a difficult task due to the loss of activity by their degradation, although they do not have a capacity of penetrating into biological membrane, such a task is handled by placing the enzymes in suitable location i.e. encapsulating an enzyme to the surface of the lipid vesicles or surface of liposomes are called enzymosomes, thus the covalent link of enzymes will minimize alterations of the activity of enzymes, enhances half- life and achieved enzyme activity at targeted site such as tumour cell. The review article includes preparation techniques, characterization and stability of liposomal

1. Film hydration method, pH 5.6 [MLV (multilamellar liposomes)]
MLV were prepared by the appropriate amounts of E-PC: Chol: DSPE-PEG in a required molar ratio in chloroform was dried under a nitrogen streamuntil a homogeneous film was formed. Prepared film was dispersed in a solution of SOD inNaCl citrate buffer pH 5.6 (required lipid concentration)14.
2. Freeze–thawing method, pH 5.6 [in this multilamellar liposomes obtained by the freeze-thawing method (F/T)]
Freeze-thawing was prepared by appropriate amounts of E PC: Chol: DSPE-PEG in a required molar ratio in chloroform was dried under a nitrogen stream until a homogeneous film was formed. Prepared film was dispersed in a solution of SOD in NaCl citrate buffer pH 5.6 (it required lipid concentration). Five cycles of freezing in liquid nitrogen (5 min) followed by thawing at 37 jC (5 min) concluded this protocol15.

The human body consists of enzymes which allow foods to be broken down and enable organisms to build chemical substances such as other proteins, carbohydrates and fats that are necessary for life. This experiment will be testing the enzymatic reactions with toothpicks. This experiment depicts the process when a substrate binds with an enzyme. However, only a specific substrate can attach to a specific enzyme. This allows the substrate to attach to the enzyme and then disconnect the enzyme overall causing the substrate to break in two.
Introduction: Enzymes are needed for survival in any living system and they control cellular reactions. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions by lowering the energy needed for molecules to begin reacting with each other. They do this by forming an enzyme-substrate complex that reduces energy that is required for a specific reaction to occur. Enzymes determine their functions by their shape and structure. Enzymes are made of amino acids, it 's made of anywhere from a hundred to a million amino acids, each they are bonded to other chemical bonds.
15 mL of Solution A and B were mixed together to form solution F. Eight cuvettes were labeled distinctly as 1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 1b, 2b, 3b, 4b, where “a” cuvettes were used for the concentration experiment and “b” cuvettes were used for the temperature experiment. Cuvette 1, the blank tube was prepared and the spectrophotometer was set to 405 nm. The enzyme was added, upon being ready to start the experiment, to tube 1 which then became tube “1a.” 3 mL of solution F was added to each cuvette, both “a” and “b.” The “b” cuvettes were then placed in their specific temperatures, 1b in the fridge, 2b in room temperature, 3b in a 32 degrees Celsius water bath and 4b in a 60 degree water bath. The temperature was recorded using a thermometer that was placed in the surroundings of the tube.
Thus, CerS determine the acyl chain length of sphingolipids, including ceramides, sphingomyelin and glycosphingolipids. The six CerS are differently expressed among tissues and cell types, yielding to distinct sphingolipids-acyl chain length profiles for each cell/tissue. As an example, in the brain, CerS1 (which targets C18 acyl-chains) is distributed primarily in neurons, whereas CerS2, responsible for the synthesis of C22-C24 acyl-chain sphingolipids, is expressed specifically in oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.38 The next step in de novo synthesis is the desaturation of dihydro-ceramides to generate ceramides, by the dihydroceramide desaturase (DES).
Finally, concentrated hydrochloric acid was added dropwise, yielding myristic acid. I obtained a yield of 408.3% (0.523g) of the myristic acid
After that, a spin vane was inserted into the vial while adding 0.75 mL of 1M H2SO4 solution. During the addition of the sulphuric acid, the solution was stirred at room temperature until the amino acid (L-Phe) completely dissolved. An ice bath was prepared and used for cooling the L-Phenylalanine solution at a temperature of 40C (a selected temperature lower than 50C). Once the solution was cooled, the first portion

Having been put in a group according to a Belbin questionnaire, concurring to a score, a role is given, which was applied during the experiment. In this group activity, I worked with other students to investigate the effect of temperature on turnip peroxide enzyme. Taking a look at the experiment as a group a decision was made on who does what, so that we are prepared to start the experiment as soon as we settle into the lab. We worked as a team to plan and carry out an investigation, having coming up with instructions as a step to step of how to do the experiment. Carrying out an experiment with a group to investigate enzyme peroxide from turnips, this enzyme helps with the division of hydrogen peroxide developed in the cells during aerobic
This is because they are protein molecules, which are damaged by heat. Enzymes work best at a particular PH. Some work in acidic places and
EXENATIDE Pharmacology Exenatide is a synthetic form of naturally occurring peptide Exendin-4 in Gila monster 16. It has 50% of sequence homology with native GLP-1 with the substitution of amino acid Arg with Gly at 2nd position, which provides resistance against DPP-4 and a half life of ~2-4hr. It is administered 60min before breakfast and dinner, with a predominant effect of reduction in PPG (Postprandial glucose) 17. Exenatide is rapidly absorbed following subcutaneous administration and eliminated through kidneys after proteolytic degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV.18 Clinical Pharmacology
Summary Endoplasmic reticulum is a eukaryotic organelle that forms interconnected network of cisternae, vesicles and tubules within the cells[1,2]. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum: rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered with ribosomes in its membrane, these ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis[2]. The ribosome free endoplasmic reticulum also know as smooth endoplasmic reticulum, its functions including lipid synthesis, drug detoxification and regulation of calcium concentration[2,3,4]. Furthermore, the endoplasmic reticulum can be isolated from animal soft by centrifugation method and the production form isolation can be used to study the metabolism of lipid and the recovery
Sugihara el al. in several studies showed that DNase treatment prevents blood-borne liver metastasis of cutaneously transplanted tumour cells in mice and also ascites tumour cells in rats. The same research team then showed that the intravenous administration of DNase I enhanced tumor-cell arrest in the lung microvasculature225–227. Linardou et al. tested the cytotoxic potential of mammalian DNase-I and its possible use in tumour-targeting strategies for cancer therapy. They designed the anti-PLAP scFv-DNase-I chimera, which was highly cytotoxic in vitro in cells expressing the PLAP antigen.
In 1856, a scientist name claude Bernard has identified lipase [1]. Lipases are serine hydrolases containing G-X1-S-X2-G sequences as the catalytic part of the particle, where G = glycine, S = serine, X1 = histidine, X2 = glutaminic or aspartic acid. Such structure is characteristic also for serine proteases. The knowledge of their 3-dimensional structure plays a significant role in designing and structuring lipases
3.2.2. Investigation of reaction parameters There are certain reaction conditions that may favour the production of one kestose isomer over the other. Therefore, several parameters (pH, temperature and time) were chosen and investigated to develop the optimum reaction conditions for each of the kestoses. The experiments for each parameter was carried out in triplicate.
