Abstract:Mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) have been studied
for their
potential therapeutic uses in controlling obesity and diabetes. Previous
studies have shown that the level of digestion of starch by α-amylase
is considerably reduced in the presence of MSPs, and it has been shown
to be caused by the adsorption of α-amylase by MSPs. In this
study, we tested a hypothesis of enzymatic deactivation and measured
the activity of α-amylase together with MSPs (SBA-15) using
comparably small CNP-G3 (2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl … Show more
