Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were described at the beginning of 21st century and they consist of a mixture of two or more solid components, which gives rise to a lower melting point compared to the starting materials. Over the years, DESs have proved to be a promising alternative to traditional organic solvents and ionic liquids (ILs) due to their low volatility, low inflammability, easy preparation, and usually low cost of compounds...

Antarktyczny szczep, gram-ujemnych bakterii Pseudoalteromonas sp. 22b, wyizolowanych z przewodu pokarmowego kryla z gatunku Thyssanoessa macrura, jest producentem wewnątrzkomórkowej zimnolubnej beta-galaktozydazy. Białko to jest homotetramerem, w którym każda z jednostek monomeru zbudowana jest z 1028 reszt aminokwasowych. Gen kodujący ten enzym został sklonowany i eksprymowany w komórkach E. coli. Następnie z zastosowaniem procedury...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have become a hot topic in many branches of science due to their remarkable properties. They have been studied in a wide variety of applications. In particular, choline chloride (ChCl)-based DESs are one of the most commonly used representatives of these fluids. Nevertheless, in order to apply DESs in some fields, it is essential to guarantee their stability, reusability, and biocompatibility. In this...
