Testing the activity of mutations in the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 helps classify which variants cause disease.
The selection of such cost-effective oxide materials, however, was pursued chiefly by testing the activity of high-surface area powders (in the micron size range) or thin polycrystalline films24.
The development of two different in-flow scanning reactors that could be successfully used for testing the activity of planar catalysts are presented.
Each of these enzyme engineering platforms relies on compartmentalization of reaction components, similar to microtiter plate-based assays which have been commonly used for testing the activity of enzyme variants.
The recent establishment of a high-throughput strategy for testing the activity of many non-natural combinations of modules from these enzymes should help speed the advance of this technology.
The concentration and exposure time-dependent potential toxicity of CeO2 NPs on soil microorganisms was examined by testing the activity of three enzymes urease, phosphatase, and β-glucosidase in a soil-grass microcosm system, and estimated through specific enzyme assays.
