Detection of Hydroperoxides Using Chemically-Stimulated Luminescence from Structured Compound Semiconductors

A method of monitoring for the presence of a hydroperoxide in an aqueous or non-polar environment includes steps of exposing a structured compound semiconductor material with peroxidase activity to the hydroperoxide in the environment and detecting electromagnetic radiation emitted by the structured compound semiconductor material with peroxidase activity upon exposure to the hydroperoxide. The luminescence emitting semiconductor material with peroxidase activity consists of a primary semiconductor material with a dopant prepared on a phytate scaffold

Soy Products with Reduced Levels of Sulfite, Free Radicals and Methanethiol

Soy products or compositions are treated with a food grade iodate compound or a cystine compound to reduce levels of methanethiol, sulfites and sulfite free-radicals, sulfate free radicals and other free radicals generated from sulfite free radicals in the soy products or compositions by 1% to 95%

Detection of Organic Free Radicals and Reactive Oxygen Substances Using Chemically-Stimulated Luminescence from Structured Compound Semiconductors

A method of monitoring for the presence of an oxidizing chemical species in an aqueous or non-polar environment includes steps of exposing a structured compound semiconductor material to the oxidizing chemical species in the environment and detecting electromagnetic radiation emitted by the structured compound semiconductor material upon exposure to the oxidizing chemical species. The structured compound semiconductor material is a phytate scaffold material and a metal dopant

Finishing the euchromatic sequence of the human genome

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human physiology, as well as rich information about human evolution. In 2001, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium reported a draft sequence of the euchromatic portion of the human genome. Since then, the international collaboration has worked to convert this draft into a genome sequence with high accuracy and nearly complete coverage. Here, we report the result of this finishing process. The current genome sequence (Build 35) contains 2.85 billion nucleotides interrupted by only 341 gaps. It covers ∼99% of the euchromatic genome and is accurate to an error rate of ∼1 event per 100,000 bases. Many of the remaining euchromatic gaps are associated with segmental duplications and will require focused work with new methods. The near-complete sequence, the first for a vertebrate, greatly improves the precision of biological analyses of the human genome including studies of gene number, birth and death. Notably, the human enome seems to encode only 20,000-25,000 protein-coding genes. The genome sequence reported here should serve as a firm foundation for biomedical research in the decades ahead
