BANANA POWDER AS AN ADDITIVE TO COMMON WHEAT PASTA

Banana Powder as an Additive to Common Wheat Pasta

This study aimed to analyse the effect of dried banana powder (BP) on common wheat pasta characteristics.Wheat flour (type 500) was replaced with 1%, 2%, Planters 3%, 4% and 5% of BP.Control pasta without BP addition was also prepared.Pasta quality parameters including texture, colour, cooking characteristics and sensory evaluation were determined.

Viral Replication Protein Inhibits Cellular Cofilin Actin Depolymerization Factor to Regulate the Actin Network and Promote Viral Replicase Assembly.

RNA viruses exploit host cells by co-opting host factors and lipids and escaping host antiviral responses.Previous genome-wide screens with Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) in the model host yeast have identified 18 cellular genes that are part of the actin network.In this paper, we show that the p33 viral replication factor interacts with the cellu

Gating of a pH-sensitive K(2P) potassium channel by an electrostatic effect of basic sensor residues on the selectivity filter.

K(+) channels share common selectivity characteristics but exhibit a wide diversity in how they are gated open.Leak K(2P) K(+) channels TASK-2, TALK-1 and TALK-2 LANTERN are gated open by extracellular alkalinization.The mechanism for this alkalinization-dependent gating has been proposed to be the neutralization of the side chain of a single argin
