A collection of all the articles covering agriculture, biochemical engineering, biotechnology and related industry topics.
Recombinant proteins are proteins encoded by recombinant DNA that has been cloned in an expression system allowing gene expression and protein production. These proteins are […]
Lipases (triacylglycerol hydrolases, EC 3.1.1.3) are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of ester bonds in triglycerides, releasing free fatty acids and glycerol. They are […]
Immobilization techniques are a cornerstone of modern biotechnology and materials science. They enable the fixation of enzymes, cells, or other biologically active agents onto or […]
Concanavalin A (Con A) is a plant lectin protein extracted from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis), notable for its specific binding to certain sugar residues […]
Sepharose is a trade name for a group of cross-linked, beaded agarose products manufactured primarily by Cytiva (formerly GE Healthcare Life Sciences). Derived from agarose, […]
Introduction Lentiviruses are a genus of viruses within the family Retroviridae, characterized by their ability to integrate into the host genome and establish persistent infections. […]
The N-1 perfusion method is a bioprocessing technique used in upstream biomanufacturing, particularly in the production of therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in […]
Introduction Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) represents a groundbreaking biotechnology platform for producing proteins without the need for living cells. Unlike traditional in vivo protein expression […]
Introduction In the quest for sustainable and renewable energy sources, biofuels have emerged as promising alternatives to fossil fuels. Among them, biobutanol stands out due […]
As the world faces intensifying environmental and energy challenges, the search for sustainable, renewable energy sources has become a global priority. One such promising resource […]
Bacillus coagulans is a spore-forming, lactic acid-producing bacterium that has gained considerable attention in the fields of microbiology, nutrition, and therapeutics. Though often grouped with […]
To understand the mechanisms of ageing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast), a variety of experimental and computational approaches can be used, targeting the two main […]
Southern blotting is a molecular biology technique developed by Edwin Southern in 1975, designed to detect specific DNA sequences within a complex mixture of DNA. […]
The biotechnology of dealing with microplastics—tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size—is an emerging and rapidly developing field. It focuses on biological solutions to […]
Leptin is a hormone primarily produced by fat cells (adipocytes) in the body. It plays a crucial role in regulating energy balance by: Key Functions […]
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a hormone involved in the regulation of insulin secretion in response to food intake. This hormone is well reviewed by […]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin hormone, which means it’s released from the gut (intestine) in response to food and helps regulate blood glucose levels. […]
Clostridium botulinum is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium best known for producing botulinum toxin, one of the most potent neurotoxins known to science. Biology […]
Neurospora crassa is a filamentous fungus that has been extensively used as a model organism in genetics, molecular biology, and biochemistry. It’s also involved in […]
What is Metabolic Flux? Metabolic flux refers to the rate at which metabolites flow through a metabolic pathway in a cell. It’s typically measured in […]
