The estimation of petrochemical wastewater toxicity
This article considers the applicability of biotesting methods to the analysis of wastewater toxicity through the example of Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant. The offered biotesting method helps estimate total wastewater toxicity. The estimation of phytotoxicity was based on the following parameters of the watercress (Lepidum sativum (L.)): sprout ...
Development and prediction of toxicity of a new antiplatelet food peptide
The development of an antiplatelet peptide was conducted using proteomic databases and the Cybase cyclic peptide database. Toxicity prediction was carried out on the ADMETlab 3.0 platform. The framework used was the cyclic peptide PLP-5, listed under number 1375 in the Cybase database. A new peptide with the amino acid sequence QLSNGLFVDYLWW was obtained. According to the ...
Comparative evaluation of the biological effect of native and synthesized peptides
Biologically active peptides are considered as preventive and therapeutic agents for various diseases. Due to the high cost and complexity of isolating native peptides for use in pharmaceuticals, synthetically produced peptides are increasingly being used in dietary supplements. The aim of the research is to confirm the similarity and biological activity of synthesized peptides compared to native peptides. Synthesized and native peptides from bovine colostrum with the code names T1.1 and mpT2...
