Prokaryotic-metabolism Journals

The potential rates of exoenzymatic activities (leucineaminopeptidase, LAP; beta-glucosidase, b-GLU; alkaline phosphatase, AP) involved within the degradation of proteins, polysaccharides and organic phosphates, respectively, were measured consistent with Hoppe′s method using the fluorogenic compounds L-leucine- 4-methylcoumarinyl-7-amide, 4-methylumbelliferyl-b-Dglucopyranoside and 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (Sigma-Aldrich, Co) as substrates for LAP, b-GLU and AP, respectively. Substrates were added at increasing concentrations (ranging from 0.2 to 4 mM final concentrations) to triplicate sub-samples and blanks, incubated, in the dark, for 2-3 hours at â in situâ ±1°C temperature The increase in fluorescence intensity, measured by a spectrofluorometer, was converted into the amount of substrate potentially hydrolysed. The maximum velocity of hydrolysis (Vmax) was calculated for each sample after linear (Lineweaver- Burk) transformation of the Michaelis- Menten equation. The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km= 1/2 Vmax) as an index of the affinity or strength of binding between the enzyme and its substrate, was also calculated using the same linear transformation.

Most journals are highly specialized, although a number of the oldest journals publish articles, reviews, editorials, short communications, letters, and scientific papers across a good range of scientific fields. Journals contain articles that peer reviewed, in an effort to make sure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity. Each such journal article becomes a part of the permanent scientific record.
