The purpose of this study was determined the media and concentration of cellulolytic bacterial isolates to produce high cellulase enzyme activity. Production of crude cellulase enzyme in media and concentration of different bacterial isolate used a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) which consist of two factors. The first factor was the media production of different cellulase enzyme consisting of 3 levels, namely media 1, 2 and 3. The second factor was the concentration of bacterial isolate consisting of 5 levels namely 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5%. This study used a B2S8 cellulolytic bacterial isolate that has the highest value of cellulase enzyme activity and the highest degradation rate of cellulose in previous studied and determined the ability of exoglucanase enzyme activity, endoglucanase enzyme and dissolved protein content produced from cellulolytic bacterial isolate. This study used Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) for enzyme activity test and 1% corn stover as a substrate on the media to produce crude cellulase enzyme. The result showed that the highest cellulase enzyme activity in the third media and 5% cellulolytic bacterial inoculum concentration resulted in endoglucanase activity of 0.0332 IU/mL, exoglucanases enzyme activity of 0.0060 IU/mL, dissolved protein content in the amount of 0.5670 mg/mL, the specific endoglucanase activity of 0.0807 IU/mg and the specific activity of exoglucanase of 0.0123 IU/mg.

The distribution of the multiple molecular forms of rat liver and mammary gland glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was determined by electrophoresis on 5% polyacrylamide gels. In both of these organs, changes in the distribution of enzyme activity among the several forms was slight even when approximately 20- to 40-fold changes in enzyme specific activity were achieved by fasting-refeeding experiments (for liver) or during pregnancy and lactation (for mammary gland), it was concluded that the induction of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in these two organs occurs without any major redistribution among the multiple molecular forms of this enzyme.

To further characterize the androgen dependence of prostatic acid phosphatase (AP), the isoelectric focusing patterns of enzyme activity have been examined for normal and castrated adult rats and for rats receiving androgen injections. Isoelectric focusing was performed in polyacrylamide gels over the pH range 4–8. Naphthyl phosphate was used as substrate for staining. For normal rats there was a single lysosomal band (isoelectric point (pI) = 7.35 ± 0.04), four closely migrating secretory bands (pI = 5.96–5.63), and an androgen-dependent band (pI = 6.37 ± 0.05) which as yet has not been identified as either lysosomal or secretory. Following castration the secretory bands decreased significantly in staining intensity, the androgen-dependent band disappeared, and two new lysosomal bands (pI's = 7.13 ± 0.03 and 7.00 ± 0.03) appeared. With androgen replacement the latter two bands disappeared, the androgen-dependent band reappeared, and the secretory bands increased in staining intensity but with the most anodic of the four appearing before the others. This suggests that it could be a precursor to the others. The isoelectric focusing patterns of AP activity appear to be a better method of assessing the androgen status of the prostate than are the previously used parameters, namely, enzyme specific activity, degree of inhibition by tartrate, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic pattern.

Lysyl oxidase produces H2O2 i.e. ROS by acting on L-Lysyine. In the present study, ROS thus produced has been used by in vitro cytotoxicity assay on ovarian cancer cells thereby achieving 250 percent inhibition. Lysyl oxidase activity was determined spectrophotometrically by Dintrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) reagent. For isolation of lysyl oxidase produced by Trichodermaviride, acetone precipitation and ammonium sulphate precipitation was carried out. The effect of temperature on lysyl oxidase production was determined by incubating the media with 1.5 % inoculum at different temperature ranging from  10 , 20, 30,40,50,60,70 , 80 0C for 72 hr . Anti-tumor properties of Lysyl oxidase was checked using Rhodamine assay and NBT Assay.  Comparative results for Acetone and Ammonium Sulphate precipitation showed that Enzyme activity(U/ml)  of acetone precipitation is 124.6 and 144.3 IU/ml and Protein Content is 1.8 and 2.2 mg/ml with the specific activity 68.4IU/mg and 64.1IU/mg . The optimum enzyme production was found to be at pH 8 and optimum temperature for lysyl oxidase production was 500C with maximum enzyme activity of 0.38 (U/ml). 7th fraction contained highest enzyme activity so the retention time of lysyl oxidase was found to be 7 min. The protein content was also calculated by using Bradford method and it was highest in the 1st fraction and in 6th, 7th and 8th fractions. The specific activity has been improved from 75.1 IU/mg to 86.5 IU/mg. 10 units of lysyl oxidase inhibits 3x104 cells in each well to 82.5% and inhibition achieved at same cell count at 200 units which was 250% as observed with NBT and Rhodamine assay.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 4(1): 57-63

Aim: To determine the organ distribution and characterization of acetylcholinesterase in the adult African variegated grasshoppers – Zonocerus variegatus and Zonocerus elegans. (Zonocerus Sp. Linn) Place and Duration of the Study: The insect model: African variegated grasshoppers are gotten from the Open green fields at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria, and research was carried out between March and June, 2016 in the Enzymology laboratory, Biochemistry department, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. Methodology: Twenty (20) adults variegated grasshoppers were taken from the Open field in the University community, and taken to the Biology department for Identification. After identification, the specimen was weighed, freeze, dissected into fractions (Head, Thorax and Abdomen) and then homogenized to get the crude protein extract. The crude enzyme extract is further purified using the Ion-exchange chromatography with column bed packed with DEAE – Sephadex A50. The protein content of the purified AChE was determined using the Lowry method while the Acetylcholinesterase activity was determined by the Ellman’s assay procedures. The characterization of AChE was tested by modifying agent such as N-Bromo Succinamide (NBS) which confirms the presence of key aromatic proteins involve in catalysis at the active site of the enzyme. Results: The protein concentration according to their fractions: Head (35.7%), Thorax (29.2%), and Abdomen (35.1%). The AChE activity according to their fractions: Head (38.6%), Thorax (23.7%), and Abdomen (37.7%). The specific activity which relates the AChE activity to protein content is given: Head (28.8%), Thorax (40.4%), and Abdomen (30.8%). From the Organ distribution and AChE activity, it was observed that the Head Fractions has the Highest protein content, and Enzyme activity. Comparatively, there are slight differences in the Enzyme activity of the Head and Abdominal fractions which represents the two peaks in the AChE chart. As well, the thorax has the highest specific activity. The modification by the chemical agent NBS shows a drastic decrease (about 50%) in Enzyme activity and characterize enzyme active site with aromatic proteins especially tryptophan residues. Conclusion: Research findings shows the dominance of AChE protein in the Head region, hence high enzyme activity (useful for nervous coordination) as well as presence of tryptophan residues at the enzyme active site. The importance of research is useful in enzymology, neuroscience and public health.
