Harnessing the benefits of rosemary polyphenols is limited by variability in their physicochemical properties. These limitations may be overcome by encapsulation in systems possessing hydro-lipophilic centers thereby accommodating molecules of different polarities. Proliposomes offer a viable option in this regards, being particles which form liposomal suspension in water. Lyophilized extracts of rosemary was encapsulated in hydrogenatedsoyphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol by solvent replacement method. Spray dried proliposomes were obtained with lactose as carrier. Using Central Composite Design, the effects of lipid, extract and carrier concentrations on response variables including bioactive content and retention, moisture content characteristics, recuperation and redispersibility were evaluated by statistical analysis. Keywords: Polyphenols; antioxidant;  proliposomes; spray drying

The aquation of each of three octahedral chloro(solvent)bisethylene- diaminecobalt(III) ions, involving the solvent ligands dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), and dimethylacetamide (DMA), has been examined in solutions of different pH. In solutions of pH less than 6, the predominant reaction is replacement of the solvent molecule by water in an SN1 process, involving a trigonal bipyramidal transition state and resulting in a mixture of the trans- and cis- chloroaquo complexes. The slow loss of chloride ion is an accompanying side reaction. In solutions of pH greater than 6 base hydrolysis becomes important, and in alkaline solutions the rate of solvent loss is too fast to measure by conventional techniques. The rate of liberation of chloride ion is also greatly increased with increasing pH. Values of the activation energy, and entropy of activation, are reported for the solvent replacement reaction at a pH of 1.90.

Recent work has shown that Scilla campanulata agglutinin from bluebell bulbs has a strong affinity for α(1,3)- and α(1,6)-linked mannosyl residues and possesses moderate antiretroviral activity. This lectin has been crystallized by the hanging-drop method of vapour diffusion complexed with the disaccharide mannose-α1,6-D-mannose. The crystals are in the space group P21212 with unit-cell dimensions a = 70.63, b = 92.79 and c = 47.25 Å, and with a dimer in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffract X-rays to beyond 1.5 Å resolution at 277 K and are stable in an X-ray beam. Data to 1.6 Å resolution have been collected using a MAR image-plate system at a synchrotron source and the structure of the complex has been solved by the molecular replacement method.

The application of nanomaterials in cement by replacement method in concrete is becoming a trend in cement research. The utilisation of nanosilica, nanoalumina, titanium oxide and others are proven to enhance properties of concrete. The major effect of nanomaterials is its size in which it contributes to the packing theory due to increase in the surface area. nanokaolin which comes from kaolin, was tansformed to the nanoform by using high energy milling. The process of developing nanokaolin by using high energy milling is referred to process top to bottom approach in nanoprocessing technique. In this research, the nanokaolin will be used as an additive in cement by 7% weight of cement. Four (4) cement replacement materials catered by using metakaolin on weight basis from 0, 10%, 20% and 30% will also be adopted. To determine the fresh state, cement paste contains nanokaolin and metakaolin are tested its standard consistency and setting time. The effect of the inclusion of the nanokaolin as additive in cement paste that also contains metakaolin as cement replacement material will be investigated. It was found the inclusion of 7% nanokaolin increases the water demand of the cement paste level of metakaolin replacement. In addition to that, the setting time namely initial and final set was been delayed as compared to that of plain OPC. The nanoparticles of nanokaolin and also finer particles of metakaolin increase the surface area and refining the internal structure of cement paste which reduce the flow capabilities of cement paste containing nanokaolin and metakaolin.

The 2-carboxy-6-hydroxyoctahydroindole moiety is an essential residue for the antithrombotic activity of aeruginosins, which are a class of cyanobacteria-derived bioactive linear tetrapeptides. The biosynthetic pathway of the 2-carboxy-6-hydroxyoctahydroindole moiety has not yet been resolved. AerF was indicated to be involved in the biosynthesis of the 2-carboxy-6-hydroxyoctahydroindole moiety. This study reports the cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of AerF fromMicrocystis aeruginosawith a C-terminal His6tag. The crystal diffracted to a maximum resolution of 1.38 Å and belonged to the tetragonal space groupP4322, with unit-cell parametersa=b= 101.581,c= 116.094 Å. The calculated Matthews coefficient and solvent content of the crystal were 2.47 Å3 Da−1and 50.32%, respectively. The initial model of the structure was obtained by the molecular-replacement method and refinement of the structure is in progress.
