The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of peroxidase immobilized on corncob powder for the discoloration of dye. Peroxidase was extracted from soybean seed coat, followed by amination of the surface of the tertiary structure. The aminated peroxidase was immobilized on highly activated corncob powder and employed for the discoloration of bromophenol blue. Amination was performed with 10 or 50 mmol.L-1carbodiimide and 1 mol.L-1ethylenediamine. The amount of protein in the extract was 0.235 ± 0.011 mg.mL-1and specific peroxidase activity was 86.06 ± 1.52 µmol min-1.mg-1, using 1 mmol.L-1ABTS as substrate. Ten mmol.L-1and 50 mmol.L-1 aminated peroxidase retained 88 and 100% of the initial activity. Following covalent immobilization on a corncob powder-glyoxyl support, 10 and 50 mmol.L-1aminated peroxidase retained 74 and 86% of activity, respectively. Derivatives were used for the discoloration of 0.02 mmol.L-1bromophenol blue solution. After 30 min, 93 and 89% discoloration was achieved with the 10 mmol.L-1and 50 mmol.L-1derivatives, respectively. Moreover, these derivatives retained 60% of the catalytic properties when used three times. Peroxidase extracted from soybean seed coat immobilized on a low-cost corncob powder support exhibited improved thermal stability. Keywords: Peroxidases. Multipoint immobilization of enzymes. Aminated enzymes. Corncob powder. RESUMO Descoloração de azul de bromofenol utilizando peroxidase imobilizada em pó de sabugo de milho altamente ativado Nesta pesquisa a enzima peroxidase foi extraída do tegumento de sementes de soja, e a superfície da estrutura terciária foi aminada. A peroxidase aminada foi imobilizada em suporte pó de sabugo de milho altamente ativado e utilizado na descoloração de azul de bromofenol. A aminação da peroxidase foi realizada com carbodiimida em concentrações de 10 e 50 mmol.L-1, e 1 mol.L-1de etilenodiamina. A quantidade de proteínas no extrato foi de 0,235 ± 0,011 mg.mL-1, e a atividade específica da peroxidase foi 86,06 ± 1,52 µmol min-1.mg-1, usando 1 mmol.L-1de ABTS como substrato. A peroxidase aminada a 10 mmol.L-1reteve 88% e a aminada a 50 mmol.L-1reteve 100% da atividade inicial. As peroxidases aminadas a 10 ou 50 mmol.L-1foram covalentemente imobilizadas em suporte glioxil-pó de sabugo de milho com atividade recuperada de 74% e 86%, respectivamente. Os derivados obtidos foram utilizados na descoloração de solução de azul de bromofenol 0,02 mmol.L-1. Após 30 min 93% de descoloração foram alcançados com o derivado glioxil-pó de sabugo de milho com a peroxidase aminada 10 mmol.L-1e 89% com a aminada 50 mmol.L-1. Estes derivados mantiveram 60% das propriedades catalíticas, quando utilizado por três vezes. A peroxidase extraída do tegumento da semente de soja imobilizada em suporte de baixo custo pó de sabugo de milho apresentou melhoria na estabilidade térmica da enzima. Palavras-chave: Peroxidases. Imobilização multipontual de enzimas. Aminação de enzimas. Pó de sabugo de milho.

Compreendido por um bloco (A) constituído de material metálico, possuindo quatro parafusos para fixar o sensor à estrutura, bem como possui grande resistência mecânica a deformação quando ocorre a inclinação da estrutura, de maneira que o bloco (A) está ligado ao bloco (B) por meio de parafusos internos, sendo o bloco (B) desenvolvido em duralumínio, o qual sofre a ação de grandes tensões provocadas pela sensibilização decorrente da existência de dois orifícios retangulares (E) passantes que criaram as regiões sensoras (rs1) e (rs2), sendo que em cada região sensora existem duas membranas laterais ao orifício, de forma que, devido a sensibilização das regiões (rs1) e (rs2)

Caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) is routinely diagnosed with the Agarose Gel Immunodiffusion (AGID) technique, which is considered to have low sensitivity. The objective of this study was to standardize testing i-Elisa and Western Blot for early detection of antibodies against CAEV in goats and compare the results obtained in these tests with proof of AGID. For standardization of i-Elisa and WB, different concentrations and dilutions of antigen, sera and conjugate were used. In the i-Elisa, rigid microplate with 96 wells was adopted, and the combination that showed the best result was a concentration of 0.5µg/ well of antigen and dilutions of the serum of 1:100 and conjugate of 1:1500. In the WB nitrocellulose membranes were used, and the dilutions of the serum were defined at 1:50 and conjugate at 1:15000. To evaluate the performance of the techniques, 222 goat serum samples were tested and the data were compared with the AGID. The sensitivity and specificity of Elisa-i/IDGA, WB/AGID and WB/Elisa-i were 70% and 91%, 100% and 72.6%, 84.6% and 76.5%, concomitantly. The Kappa index of these tests was 0.35, 0.2 and 0.36, respectively. The i-Elisa and WB techniques were more sensitive than the AGID and can be used as tools for early diagnosis of CAE.

In this study, modifications of alumina surface with of alkaline earth metal oxides were studied, using the polymeric precursor method. The modified compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and scanning electron microscopy. The catalytical properties of these new catalysts were evaluated for the transesterification reaction of babassu oil. It is observed that the transesterification reaction of babassu oil with methanol was successfully carried out using the modified alumina samples.

Studies using bio(muco)adhesive drug delivery systems have recently gained great interest, which can promote drug targeting and more specific contact of the drug delivery system with the various absorptive membranes of the body. This technological platform associated with nanotechnology offers potential for controlling drug delivery; therefore, they are excellent strategies to increase the bioavailability of drugs. The objective of this work was to study nanotechnology-based polymeric bio(muco)adhesive platforms for controlling drug delivery, highlighting their properties, how the bio(muco)adhesion can be measured and their potential applications for different routes of administration.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) water-proof membranes are used as coatings in vinasse (leachate from sugar cane) storage tanks. The leachate is pumped into the tanks at temperatures of 80-90 °C. Due to these high temperatures and acidity of the waste, these membranes can be degraded, cracked and then loose the function for which they have been designed. This may cause contamination of the soil and groundwater. This study evaluated the effect of vinasse in HDPE membranes after 4 months of exposure in a controlled environment. An aggressive, alkaline pH liquid (sodium hydroxide) was also used. The objective was to evaluate the membrane resistance in contact with acidic and alkaline residues. Physical and mechanical tests, measurement of the carbon black content and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to determine degradation of polymer membranes after chemical immersion. While sodium hydroxide resulted caused only minor changes in the physical properties, vinasse induced a thickness change of 7.8%. With immersion in vinasse, an average decrease in strength and deformability (yield) of 34% and 23.5% were measured, respectively. The stiffness increased by 7.8% (average) and the tear strength decreased by 2.7% (average).
