Rapports de recherche scientifique

Le corpus de connaissances portant sur l’incapacité au travail est exhaustif et ne cesse de croître. Toutefois, l’appropriation des connaissances par les différents acteurs de la réadaptation et du retour au travail (RT) n’est pas optimale. Une étape essentielle pour faciliter le transfert de ces connaissances est l’accès rapide à de l’information probante et pertinente, centralisée par l’intermédiaire d’un site Web. À notre connaissance, aucune ressource électronique de ce type n’est accessible, sans frais, aux acteurs du Québec. Afin de pallier cette lacune, cette initiative vise à rassembler l’information scientifiquement valide (données probantes) sur l’incapacité au travail et le RT …

Price, Mark Wayne Mortensen, Alexandra Phillips, Banner Wald, Simon Elgin Hulme, Logan Powell Stanley, Joan Hevel, Jixun Zhan

Biological Engineering Faculty Publications

Glycosylation is an effective way to improve the water solubility of natural products. In this work, a novel glycosyltransferase gene (BbGT) was discovered from Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159 and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified enzyme was functionally characterized through in vitro enzymatic reactions as a UDP-glucosyltransferase, converting quercetin to five monoglucosylated and one diglucosylated products. The optimal pH and temperature for BbGT are 35 ℃ and 8.0, respectively. The activity of BbGT was stimulated by Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+, but inhibited by Zn2+. BbGT enzyme is flexible and can glycosylate a variety of substrates such as curcumin, …
