Association with Imidazole in the Cooperative Order–Disorder Transition in Aqueous Solution of Schizophyllan
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Schizophyllan, a triple helical polysaccharide, exhibits cooperative order–disorder transition (CODT) in aqueous solutions. The transition transforms the ordered structure (triple helix I) formed between the branched side ... -
Astaxanthin from Crustaceans and Their Byproducts: A Bioactive Metabolite Candidate for Therapeutic Application
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In recent years, the food, pharma, and cosmetic industries have shown considerable interest in bioactive molecules of marine origin that show high potential for application as nutraceuticals and therapeutic agents. ... -
Automated generation of genome-scale metabolic draft reconstructions based on KEGG
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Constraint-based modeling is a widely used and powerful methodology to assess the metabolic phenotypes and capabilities of an organism. The starting point and cornerstone of all such modeling is a genome-scale ... -
Automatic reconstruction of metabolic pathways from identified biosynthetic gene clusters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background A wide range of bioactive compounds is produced by enzymes and enzymatic complexes encoded in biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). These BGCs can be identified and functionally annotated based on their DNA ... -
Backbone 1H, 13C and 15N chemical shift assignment of full-length human uracil DNA glycosylase UNG2
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Human uracil N-glycosylase isoform 2—UNG2 consists of an N-terminal intrinsically disordered regulatory domain (UNG2 residues 1–92, 9.3 kDa) and a C-terminal structured catalytic domain (UNG2 residues 93–313, 25.1 kDa). ... -
Backbone and side-chain 1H, 13C, and 15N chemical shift assignments for the apo-form of the lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase NcLPMO9C
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The apo-form of the 23.3 kDa catalytic domain of the AA9 family lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase NcLPMO9C from Neurospora crassa has been isotopically labeled and recombinantly expressed in Pichia pastoris. In this paper, ... -
Bacterial community assembly in Atlantic cod larvae (Gadus morhua): Contributions of ecological processes and metacommunity structure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many studies demonstrate the importance of the commensal microbiomes to animal health and development. However, the initial community assembly process is poorly understood. It is unclear to what extent the hosts select for ... -
Bacterial community composition responds to changes in copepod abundance and alters ecosystem function in an Arctic mesocosm study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Combining a minimum food web model with Arctic microbial community dynamics, we have suggested that top-down control by copepods can affect the food web down to bacterial consumption of organic carbon. Pursuing this ... -
Bacterial community development and diversity during the first year of production in a new salmon processing plant
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The bacterial diversity and load on equipment in food processing facilities is constantly influenced by raw material, water, air, and staff. Despite regular cleaning and disinfection, some bacteria may persist and thereby ... -
Benzoic Acid-Inducible Gene Expression in Mycobacteria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Conditional expression is a powerful tool to investigate the role of bacterial genes. Here, we adapt the Pseudomonas putida-derived positively regulated XylS/Pm expression system to control inducible gene expression in ... -
Benzoylated uronic Acid building blocks and synthesis of N-uronate conjugates of lamotrigine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)chemoenzymatic approach towards benzoylated uronic acid building blocks has been investigated starting with benzoylated hexapyranosides using regioselective C-6 enzymatic hydrolysis as the key step. Two of the building ... -
Bioactively filled gelatin gels; challenges and opportunities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Soft, chewable gelatin matrices represent an excellent alternative to traditional oral administration forms (tablets, soft and hard capsules) for pharma- and nutraceuticals; especially for the pediatric and geriatric ... -
Bioactivities of fish protein hydrolysates from defatted salmon backbones
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Bioactivities of bulk fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) from defatted salmon backbones obtained with eight different commercial enzymes and their combinations were tested. All FPH showed antioxidative activity in vitro. DPPH ... -
Biochemical changes in superchilled storage of salmon (Salmo salar) fillets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Biochemical changes of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fillets during superchilled storage were evaluated. Due to the significant differences in ice crystal sizes observed, the biochemical changes were evaluated both at the ... -
Biocompatibility and Biotolerability Assessment of Microspheres Using a Whole Blood Model
(Journal article, 2013)The whole blood model is a powerful method to determine the immediate inflammatory reactions towards foreign objects in general. This review focuses on the use of a lepirudin based whole blood model for evaluating microspheres ... -
Biocomposites prepared by alkaline phosphatase mediated mineralization of alginate microbeads
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)This study set out to develop a biomimetic scaffold by incorporating osteoinductive hydroxyapatite (HA) particles into a porous alginate gel matrix via a cell-friendly pathway. Two types of alginate/calcium phosphate ... -
Biodegradation of weathered crude oil in seawater with frazil ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As ice extent in the Arctic is declining, oil and gas activities will increase, with higher risk of oil spills to the marine environment. To determine biotransformation of dispersed weathered oil in newly formed ice, oil ... -
