The dynamic nature of palmitoylation is poorly understood because of the limitations in current assay methods.
The current assay is highly adaptable to many parasites of socioeconomic importance, including those causing neglected tropical diseases.
Current assay methods to analyze the LF activity have been based on a synthetic peptide, consisting of 15 20 residues around being cleaved.
Although not yet fully automated, the current assay is readily suited to the screening of hundreds to thousands of compounds for subsequent hit-to-lead optimisation.
Moreover, the current assay was faster and had a higher sensitivity for detection of ECTV genomic DNA in cell cultured and clinical test samples.

Altogether, the results have proven the applicability of the current assay in detecting PHA-degrading ability of lipases of eukaryotic and prokaryotic sources.
The current assay shows the results of the adsorption process's thermodynamics between the biosorbents and Cd2+ ions in the solution (Table 8).
Results of the current assay may provide a rapid and reliable analytical approach for measuring total Se, although the fluorophore stability results remained to be resolved.
The three adsorbents evaluated in the current assay were characterized by their functional groups, their morphology, by the quantification of their surface loads and the metals in their structure.
Desorption results in the current assay revealed that biosorbents obtained from jatropha biomass might undergo the regeneration process for further uses which was a desirable characteristic in the current case.
