Cellulose nanofibers with a size range of 5–100 nm have the potential to be a low cost renewable material that has application in a range of products. However, current chemical methods to produce crystalline nanofibers suffer from low... more
Snake venom l-amino acid oxidases are multifunctional enzymes that exhibited a wide range of pharmacological activities. Although it has been established that these activities are primarily caused by the H2O2 generated in the enzymatic... more
Single molecule methods are becoming routine biophysical techniques for studying biological macromolecules. In mechanical unfolding of proteins, an externally applied force is used to induce the unfolding of individual protein molecules.... more
Microwave-initiated synthesis of polyacrylamide-grafted sodium alginate, a graft copolymer with wide variety of applications has been reported in this study. The effect of reaction parameters (i.e., irradiation time and monomer... more
Oat beta-D-glucan is a valuable functional ingredient having numerous industrial, nutritional and health benefits. Its extraction needs careful attention as extraction process may affect the physiochemical and functional properties of... more
Limnothrix redekei PUPCCC 116, a filamentous cyanobacterium, has been identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Exopolysaccharides (EPS) of this organism have been isolated and characterized chemically, and its rheological properties... more
Biosorption of Cu(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) ions from aqueous solutions by rice husk, palm leaf and water hyacinth was investigated as a function of initial pH, initial heavy metal ions concentration and treatment time. The adsorption... more
Marine actinobacterial synthesis of gold nanoparticles has good potential to develop simple, cost-effective and eco-friendly methods for production of important biomaterials. In this context, gold nanoparticles have attracted considerable... more
Macromolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are large, organic molecules that are directly involved in human metabolism. Somatotyping is the classification of a person according to his body physique, and it... more
