In this collection, the authors discuss endothelial lipase (EL), a recently identified member of the lipase gene family which exhibits a high degree of sequence similarity to lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase. The opening chapter summarizes the recent findings with regard to the molecular structure and biological mechanisms of EL, factors affecting the EL expression and activity as well as its role in some inflammatory disorders. Additionally, enzyme lipase is discussed; specifically its wide range of applications in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical as well as oleochemical industries. The capability of enzyme lipase to catalyse reactions with higher efficiency and stability, their chem...
In 1912, Louis-Camille Maillard, a French physician and chemist, accidentally discovered the formation of yellow-brown color compounds when he heated sugars and amino acids together with water--or the Maillard reaction. Since then, Maillard reaction has received wide attention and has been extensively studied in the fields of food and medicine. The authors open this collection by discussing several factors that influence the Maillard reaction, highlighting its recently discovered functional properties.The origin of life on our planet is one of the issues that are on the top of biological agenda. As such, the authors propose that the abiogenic synthesis of prebiotic molecules could have taken...
