    Characterization of a novel cold-active esterase isolated from swamp sediment metagenome

    A functional screen of a metagenomic library from “Upo” swamp sediment in Korea identified a gene EstL28, the product of which displayed lipolytic properties on a tributyrin-supplemented medium. The EstL28 sequen...

    Expression of the Human Tissue-Plasminogen Activator in Hairy Roots of Oriental Melon (Cucumis melo)

    The human tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a thrombolytic protein that plays a key role in fibrinolysis by converting the plasminogen into plasmin which degrades fibrin clots in blood vessels. The t-PA gene...
