The presence of pathogenic bacteria is a major health risk factor in food samples and the commercial food supply chain is susceptible to bacterial contamination. Thus, rapid and sensitive identification methods are in demand for the food industry. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the reliable specific methods with reasonably fast assay times. However, many constituents in food samples interfere with PCR, resulting in false results and thus hindering the usability of the method. Therefore, we aimed to develop an aptamer-based magnetic separation system as a sample preparation method for subsequent identification and quantification of the contaminant bacteria by real-time PCR. To achieve this goal, magnetic beads were prepared via suspension polymerization and grafted with glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) brushes that were modified into high quantities of amino groups. The magnetic beads were decorated with two different aptamer sequences binding specifically to Escherichia coli or Salmonella typhimurium. The results showed that even 1.0% milk inhibited PCR, but our magnetic affinity system capture of bacteria from 100% milk samples allowed accurate determination of bacterial contamination at less than 2.0 h with limit of detection around 100 CFU/mL for both bacteria in spiked-milk samples.

Amifostine, a radioprotectant agent, protects rat brain tissue lipids against ionizing radiation induced damage: An FTIR microspectroscopic imaging study Cakmak, Gulgun; Miller, Lisa M.; Zorlu, Faruk; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2012-04-15) Amifostine is the only approved radioprotective agent by FDA for reducing the damaging effects of radiation on healthy tissues. In this study, the protective effect of amifostine against the damaging effects of ionizing radiation on the white matter (WM) and grey matter (GM) regions of the rat brain were investigated at molecular level. Sprague-Dawley rats, which were administered amifostine or not, were whole-body irradiated at a single dose of 800 cGy, decapitated after 24 h and the brain tissues of these...
Mechanism of inhibition of cytochrome p4501a1 associated 7-ethoxyresorufin o-deethylase (erod) activity and glutathione s-transferase (gst) activities in fish liver by phenolic compounds/flavonoids Yılmaz, Duygu; Arınç, Emel; Department of Biology (2010) Flavonoids, present in fruits, vegetables and beverages derived from plants, have been described as health-promoting, disease-preventing dietary supplements, and have activity as cancer preventive agents. The cancer protective effects of flavonoids have been attributed to a wide variety of mechanisms, including modulating enzyme activities resulting in the decreased carcinogenicity of xenobiotics. Cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) is a Phase I enzyme which is known to be involved in the activation of procarcinoge...
Structural Insights into Alternate Aggregated Prion Protein Forms POLANO, maurizio; Bek, Alpan; BENETTİ, federico; lazzarino, marco; LEGNAME, giuseppe (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-13) The conversion of the cellular form of the prion protein (PrPC) to an abnormal, alternatively folded isoform (PrPSc) is the central event in prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Recent studies have demonstrated de novo generation of murine prions from recombinant prion protein (recPrP) after inoculation into transgenic and wild-type mice. These so-called synthetic prions lead to novel prion diseases with unique neuropathological and biochemical features. Moreover, the use of recPrP i...
BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF FREE-RADICALS BASAGA, HS (Canadian Science Publishing, 1990-07-01) Toxic free radicals can be produced by many reactions required for the maintenance of normal metabolism and the production of energy in the cell. The reactivity of both primary and secondary radicals with biomolecules and in whole tissue systems is of interest, not only because of their importance in radiobiology but also because of the role these species play in toxicity and various disorders. Oxidant stress is known to increase the production of free radicals. In the presence of metals, especially iron, t...
Proton relay network in P450cam formed upon docking of putidaredoxin Ugur, Ilke; Chandrasekhar, Prasanna (Wiley, 2020-04-01) Cytochromes P450 are versatile heme-based enzymes responsible for vital life processes. Of these, P450cam (substrate camphor) has been most studied. Despite this, precise mechanisms of the key OO cleavage step remain partly elusive to date; effects observed in various enzyme mutants remain partly unexplained. We have carried out extended (to 1000 ns) MM-MD and follow-on quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics computations, both on the well-studied FeOO state and on Cpd(0) (compound 0). Our simulations include...
