It was stated for the first time, that these particles can cleave casein, gelatin, fibrinogen and hemoglobin at pH 7.4 and 9.0. Using group-specific proteinase inhibitors, a set of serine-, cysteine- and metalloproteinases was identified in this material. However, the detection of this set of proteolytic enzymes is only possible when several different proteins are used as substrates. In some cases, virtually all of the used arsenal of group-specific proteinase inhibitors proved to be little effective. This suggests that these are proteinases of a different nature than those listed above, which requires further perspective research.","PeriodicalId":11283,"journal":{"name":"Doklady of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72648860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that PTM has no dramatic influence on the structures of the enzymes but stabilizes them. According to our data, the phosphorylation of S258, T162 and Y361 influences the interface of interaction between human sterol-hydroxylases and the corresponding electron donors by decreasing the mobility of amino acids that take part in forming molecular complexes of the enzymes and the corresponding redox-partners.

Additives are both pore-forming and hydrophilizing agents. It was found that 18–22 % PSF solutions in DMAc with the Pluronic F127 content ≥5 wt. % feature a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Mixed matrix PSF/Pluronic F127 and PSF/PEG membranes were obtained by the phase inversion technique and the comparative studies of their structure and performance were carried out. It was found that the average surface roughness parameters of PSF/Pluronic F127 membranes significantly exceed those of PSF/PEG membranes. The presence of the both additives in the casting solution leads to the effective hydrophilization of the membrane selective layer. It was shown that the increase in the membrane flux and the decrease in the polyvinylpyrrolidone (K-30, Mn = 40000 g⋅mol –1) rejection coefficient are a result of adding both Pluronic F127 and PEG-4000 to the casting solution. It was shown that PSF/Pluronic F127 membranes are characterized by higher shrinkage resistance and a lower total flux decrease during ultrafiltration of bovine serum albumin solutions.
