Plastein is a protease-induced peptide aggregate with Wraps prospective application in enhancing the nutritional quality of proteins and debittering protein hydrolysates.These properties are yet to be applied in product development possibly due to economic considerations (production cost vs.product yields).This paper reviews currently proposed mech
Utilization of the Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique as a molecular marker was tested to investigate the relationships between some representative grapevine cultivars and hybrids established at the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding (CUB), to distinguish clones as well as to characterize various hybrids between species or i
Abstract Background Surfactant protein D (SP-D) plays important roles in innate host defense against influenza A virus (IAV) infection.Common human polymorphisms of SP-D have been found in many human populations and associated with increased risk of certain infections.We recently reported that the Thr/Thr 11 form of SP-D is associated with low seru
The use of signature-based broadcast authentication for code and data dissemination in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) cannot be avoided.It increases security but requires high computation.Adversaries can exploit the latter condition as an opportunity to send many false signatures.Filtering methods can overcome this vulnerability.Cipher Puzzle is a
