Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase or Ubiquitin specific protease 11 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the USP11 gene. [5] [6] USP11 belongs to the Ubiquitin specific proteases family (USPs) which is a sub-family of the Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs).USPs are multiple domain proteases and belong to the C19 cysteine proteases sub‒family.
The universal stress protein (USP) domain is a superfamily of conserved genes which can be found in bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa and plants. [2] Proteins containing the domain are induced by many environmental stressors such as nutrient starvation, drought, extreme temperatures, high salinity, and the presence of uncouplers, antibiotics and metals.
Water activity values can also help limit moisture migration within a food product made with different ingredients. If raisins of a higher water activity are packaged with bran flakes of a lower water activity, the water from the raisins migrates to the bran flakes over time, making the raisins hard and the bran flakes soggy.
The relationship between water content and equilibrium relative humidity of a material can be displayed graphically by a curve, the so-called moisture sorption isotherm. For each humidity value, a sorption isotherm indicates the corresponding water content value at a given temperature. If the composition or quality of the material changes, then ...
A xerophile (from Greek ξηρός : xērós 'dry' and φίλος : phílos 'loving') [1] is an extremophilic organism that can grow and reproduce in conditions with a low availability of water, also known as water activity. Water activity, a thermodynamical value denoted a w, is defined as the partial water vapor pressure p in equilibrium with ...
Dec. 8, police officers and firefighters responded to the incident at around 4:30 p.m., and the 12-year-old boy's body was recovered from the water about three hours later.
Intermediate moisture foods (IMF) are shelf-stable products that have water activities of 0.6-0.85, with a moisture content ranging from 15% - 40% and are edible without rehydration. [1] These food products are below the minimum water activity for most bacteria (0.90), but are susceptible to yeast and mold growth.
Wall Street closed Thursday in about the same shape, with the blue-chip Dow managing to eke out a small gain to snap a 10-day losing streak, the longest in 50 years. The Dow ended up 0.4%, or 15. ...
