Biochemical factors associated with cassava resistance to whitefly infestation

“…This implies that peroxidase was actively involved in the protection of the plant. These results are in accordance with Bisswanger (2014) and Singh et al (2013), who considered increase in absorbance to be directly proportional to increased peroxidase activity. In addition, War et al (2012) reported that as the whitefly inserts its stylet between the cells, and into the phloem to feed on the plant, the plant is able to initiate increased production of peroxidases.…”

Development of l-lactate dehydrogenase biosensor based on porous silicon resonant microcavities as fluorescence enhancers

“…These biosensors possess high selectivity: the enzyme reacts with its enzymatic substrate under specific reaction conditions, such as pH, temperature and ionic strength (Bisswanger, 2014). Besides being known for high selectivity and specificity, enzyme-based sensors are also sensitive, rapid and can be used for real-time monitoring of target analytes of interest in clinical analysis (Ispas et al, 2012).…”

Enzymosomes: A Rising Effectual Tool for Targeted Drug Delivery System

“…The partly insertion of Ac-enzyme into lipid bilayer or concealed within the hydrophobic lipid vesicular matrix. The association Ac-enzyme to the lipid bilayer membrane is mainly dependent on several factors, including electrostatic interactions between the charges associated with enzymes [60]. The efficiency of the Ac-enzyme incorporated to liposome is determined by calculating the ratio between catalytic values estimated during the intact life period versus the disrupted enzymosomes.…”
