Expression of recombinant geobacillus SP a-amylase in pichia pastoris GS 115 by Gandhi, Sivasangkary

“…The enzyme was found to be thermostable and thermoactive at 65°C with a half-life (t1/2) at 60°C for 88 min. Such thermostable and thermoactive characteristic of the α-amylase SR74 would be beneficial for industrial applications, especially in liquefying saccrification.…”

Cell and tissue specific functional genomics of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by Lledo Lara, A

“…Overall 1,227 genes (FDR<0.05) were differentially expressed between uninvolved and lesional psoriasis epidermis (n=3) with enrichment of metabolic and immune-related pathways. Integration of GWAS fine-mapping data with epigenetic and gene expression profiles implicated a potentially functional variant in the 2p15 GWAS locus modulating B3GNT2.…”

Development of kinetics model for torrefaction of logging residue and palm oil waste by Nur Hazirah Huda, Mohd Harun, Noor Asma Fazli, Abdul Samad, Suriyati, Saleh

“…Here the sets of experimental data of AWL for sawdust and EFB are based on the different temperature at 240, 270 and 300°C at 10°C/min of heating rate which are obtained from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). …”
