Based on these methodology limitations, fraction Am-2 was submitted to an alternative strategy, based on mild acid hydrolysis to
depolymerize the native SPs for different times, and the in vitro inhibitory effects on TG in 60-fold diluted human plasma were examined using the chromogenic method by a continuous detection system.
Trichoderma reesei is well known as an efficient producer of cellulases [12, 13] and is the main industrial source of cellulases and hemicellulases used to
depolymerize biomass to simple sugars that are converted to chemical intermediates and biofuels such as ethanol [14].
Haig says GreenMantra's market differentiation is that it can selectively
depolymerize plastics through a highly tunable catalytic process.
[Ca.sup.2+]-activated gelsolin rapidly
depolymerizes and caps F-actin released in plasma upon cell death/rupture, and the process leads to depletion of pGSN when encountered with a sudden flux of F-actin.
* Intralesional calcium channel blockers, which
depolymerize actin (19) and inhibit protein synthesis, (5) have shown promising results in nonrandomized early clinical trials.
The patent recognizes Arisdyne's unique ability to
depolymerize the grain by uniquely exposing entrapped starches, thereby increasing the rate of liquefaction of the starch.
These basidiomycetes are unusual in that they rapidly
depolymerize the cellulose in wood without removing the surrounding lignin that normally prevents microbial attack (16).
With additional curative agents the viscous material can be moulded into new products (Sangdo, Earnest, 1997) Supercritical water can be used to controllably
depolymerize the rubber compounds.
Current processes to break apart, or
depolymerize, nylon-6 typically must take place at high temperatures and high pressures.
Hydroxyl radicals can
depolymerize polysaccharides, cause [ILLEGIBLE TEXT] strand breaks, inactivate enzymes, and initiate lipid peroxidation (6).
Because it seems unlikely that intact tannin polymers would be toxic (because of their large size), we hypothesize that biologically active tannins, (e.g., those of Betula resinifera) are those that readily
depolymerize into reactive products.
