Regional Variation in Amino Acid Composition, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity of Tasar Sericin from North and South Bihar
Abstract: This study investigates geographical differences in biochemical and functional characteristics of sericin obtained from Antheraea mylitta cocoons sourced from two regions of Bihar, India: Bhagalpur (North) and Banka (South). Sericin was isolated via an alkali-assisted autoclaving process. Amino acid profiles were determined using HPLC. Free radical scavenging capacity was measured through DPPH, ABTS, and hydrogen peroxide assays. Antibacterial and antifungal effects were tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida …

An Overview of ELISA Biochemistry: A Brief Evaluation
Abstract: ELISA, known as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, is widely recognized as the most reliable immunoassay method. This technique is highly sensitive and serves the purpose of identifying and measuring various substances such as hormones, antibodies, antigens, glycoproteins, allergens, and proteins. The process involves the formation of antibody–antigen complexes that generate a detectable response, enabling quantification. In response to encountering foreign substances called "antigens," the immune system of an individual produces …

Treatment of Dye Waste using Phytoremediation
Abstract: Textile industries are rapidly developing nowadays. There are many dyeing industries situated at Tirupur. The wastewater from these industries were directly discharged into Noyyal river without any treatment, hence the aquatic eco-system was affected. This water is rich in heavy metals used for coloring purpose. This increases the toxicity of river water. By using the process of phytoremediation, the concentration of toxicity of heavy metals is reduced. Phytoremediation is done …

Isolation, Production and Purification of Antibiotics Isolation from Microbes from Soil
Abstract: A chemical compound acting against life is called antibiotics. The term “antibiotic” literally means “against life”. The term appeared as early as 1928 in the French microbiological literature as antibiosis. The phenomenon of antagonism between living organisms was frequently observed even since 1877, when Pasteur and Joubert noticed that aerobic bacteria antagonized the growth of Bacillus anthracis. However, the world in its present restrictive meaning, “a chemical substance derived from …

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Fluoride and Aluminum on Plant and Animal Models
Abstract: Ecotoxicological studies revealed aluminum (Al2SO4. 24 H2O) to be more toxic than fluoride (NaF) on a battery of test organisms (EC/LC50 of Al = 0.308 1.46 ppm; F = 116.6 232.8 ppm). During chronic exposure (Al = 3 ppm, F = 10 ppm for 60 90 days), there was reduction in growth parameters of organisms at different trophic levels in a food chain such as producers {dry weights (6.7 29.0) …

Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Metabolism in Anesthesia: A Pharmacogenomic Perspective
Abstract: Pharmacogenomics studies how a person’s genetic profile affects their reaction to drugs, which is vital in anesthesia. Anesthetic pharmacology depends significantly on drug metabolism, which involves complex biochemical processes that manage the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of anesthetic drugs. The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme family plays a critical role in the metabolism of various anesthetic drugs, with genetic polymorphisms leading to inter-individual variability in drug responses. Specific CYP …
