A THEORETICAL STUDY OF THE ADSORPTION PROCESS OF B-AFLATOXINS USING PYRACANTHA KOIDZUMII (HAYATA) REHDER BIOMASSES

A Theoretical Study of the Adsorption Process of B-aflatoxins Using Pyracantha koidzumii (Hayata) Rehder Biomasses

Employing theoretical calculations with density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) functional and basis set, the interaction of the aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) molecule and the functional groups present in the Pyracantha koidzumii biosorbent was investigated.Dissociation free energy and Baby Powder acidity equilibrium constant values wer

Cloning and characterization of a glucosyltransferase from Crocus sativus stigmas involved in flavonoid glucosylation

Abstract Background Flavonol glucosides constitute the second group of secondary metabolites that accumulate in Crocus sativus stigmas.To date there are no Centerpiece reports of functionally characterized flavonoid glucosyltransferases in C.sativus, despite the importance of these compounds as antioxidant agents.Moreover, their bitter taste makes
