Vitelllogenin(Vg) is a sex specific protein appearing in the blood of sexually maturing female fish as well as other oviparous vetebrates. It is synthesized in the liver in response to estradiol-l7$\beta$(E$_2$). Although E$_2$ is a main induce. of Vg synthesis, other hormonal requirements have also been reported to be important in Vg synthesis(lazier et al., 1996; Peyon et at., 1997). (omitted)

The development of reliable synthetic routes to polymer nanomaterials with well-defined size and morphology is a critical research topic in contemporary materials science. The ability to generate nanometer-sized polymer materials can offer unprecedented, interesting insights into the physical and chemical properties of the corresponding materials. In addition, control over shape and geometry of polymer nanoparticles affords versatile polymer nanostructures, encompassing nanospheres, core-shell nanoparticles, hollow nanoparticles, nanorods/fibers, nanotubes, and nanoporous materials. This review summarizes a diverse range of synthetic methods (broadly, hard template synthesis, soft template synthesis, and template-free synthesis) for fabricating polymer nanomaterials. The basic concepts and significant issues with respect to the synthetic strategies and tools are briefly introduced, and the examples of some of the outstanding research are highlighted. Our aim is to present a comprehensive review of research activities that concentrate on fabrication of various kinds of polymer nanoparticles.

This review covers general information regarding the green synthesis of antibacterial silver nanoparticles. Owing to their antibacterial properties, silver nanoparticles are widely used in many areas, especially biomedical applications. In green synthesis practices, the chemical reducing agents are eliminated, and biological entities are utilized to convert silver ions to silver nanoparticles. Among the various biological entities, natural plant extracts have emerged as green reducing agents, providing eco-friendly routes for the preparation of silver nanomaterials. The most obvious merits of green synthesis are the increased biocompatibility of the resulting silver nanoparticles and the ease with which the reaction can be carried out. This review summarizes some of the plant extracts that are used to produce antibacterial silver nanoparticles. Additionally, background information regarding the green synthesis and antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles is provided. Finally, the toxicological aspects of silver nanoparticles are briefly mentioned.

Panax ginseng ginsenosides were examined for their affects on the DNA synthesis. The DNA 1 synthesis was measured by the thymidine incorporation into NIH3T3 cells. The ginsenoside, panaxytriol, $Rh_1$ and $Rh_2$ showed reduced [$^{3}H$]-thymidine incorporation. However, other ginsenosides of $Rh_1$, $Rh_2$ and $Rh_3$ did not inhibit DNA synthesis. Among the various ginsenosides, ginsenoside $Rh_2$ was found to be the most inhibitory on DNA synthesis. We suggest $Rh_2$ as one of the potential choice of antiproliferative drugs.

We have described the synthesis and biological activity of novel retinamide . The retinamide derivatives were synthesized by introducing functional side chains into the 4-hydroxy group of 4-HPR. The activities could be dependent on the side chain length, functional group, and hetero atom. The antiprolife-rative potential of the derivatives was assessed by MTT assay in HCT116 cancer cell lines.

Due to recent advances in genome sequencing, there has been a dramatic increase in the quantity of genetic information, which has lead to an even greater demand for a faster, more parallel expression system. Therefore, interest in cell-free protein synthesis, as an alternative method for high-throughput gene expression, has been revived. In contrast to in vivo gene expression methods, cell-free protein synthesis provides a completely open system for direct access to the reaction conditions. We have developed an efficient cell-free protein synthesis system by optimizing the energy source and S30 extract. Under the optimized conditions, approximately $650{\mu}g/mL$ of protein was produced after 2h of incubation, with the developed system further modified for the efficient expression of PCR-amplified DNA. When the concentrations of DNA, magnesium, and amino acids were optimized for the production of PCR-based cell-free protein synthesis, the protein yield was comparable to that from the plasmid template.

The $O_sO_4$-catalyzed dihydroxylations of a monosubstituted allylic amine and $\gamma-amino-\alpha,\;\beta-unsaturated$ (E)-esters with bulky alkyl groups showed a high anti-selectivity. Since the acyclic conformation of N-acyloxy protected allylic amines was efficiently controlled by a bulky t-Bu or OBO ester group, the anti diastereoselectivity of >12.5:1 was obtained without applying a chiral reagent. The synthetic utility of the present method was demonstrated by a stereoselective and efficient synthesis of an $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitor 15 from commercially available N-Cbz-L-serine 6 in 11 steps and 31% yield.

The study of the genus Streptomyces is of particular interest because it produces a wide array of clinically important bioactive molecules. The genomic sequencing of many Streptomyces species has revealed unusually large numbers of cytochrome P450 genes, which are involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Many macrolide biosynthetic pathways are catalyzed by a series of enzymes in gene clusters including polyketide and non-ribosomal peptide synthesis. In general, Streptomyces P450 enzymes accelerate the final, post-polyketide synthesis steps to enhance the structural architecture of macrolide chemistry. In this review, we discuss the major Streptomyces P450 enzymes research focused on the biosynthetic processing of macrolide therapeutic agents, with an emphasis on their biochemical mechanisms and structural insights.

Nanomaterials synthesized by natural bioresources such as microorganisms, animals and plants in nature can also be synthesized in laboratories even on large scale. This is considered as an attractive prospect for eco-friendly or so-called green synthesis. Development of eco-friendly synthesis of biocompatible nanoparticles and their potential biomedical applications introduces the concept of nanobiotechnology. The lower cost and lesser side effects as compare to chemical methods of synthesis are the main advantages of biosynthesis. This review article demonstrates the role of various biological resources e.g. bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, plant leaves, fruits and honey as well as animal tissues for the synthesis of nanoparticles mainly gold and silver with an overview of their potential applications.

In this work, we demonstrate that glycolytic intermediates can serve as efficient energy sources to regenerate ATP during continuous-exchange cell-free (CECF) protein synthesis reactions. Through the use of an optimal energy source, approximately 10 mg/ml of protein was generated from a CECF protein synthesis reaction at greatly reduced reagent costs. Compared with the conventional reactions utilizing phosphoenol pyruvate as an energy source, the described method yields 10-fold higher productivity per unit reagent cost, making the techniques of CECF protein synthesis a more realistic alternative for rapid protein production.
