Effect of Static Magnetic Field on Amylase and Protease Produced by some Fungal isolates using Solid State Fermentation

In this study, the effect of static magnetic field on the production of amylase and protease enzymes using solid state fermentations from five different fungal species Alternaria sp., Aspergillus niger, Fusarium sp., Mucor sp., and Penicillium sp. were investigated. The substrate used for fungi growth was bread only.

Antibacterial and Antimutagenic Effects of Synthetic Histidine

This study was accomplished to determine the Histidine behaviors toward two pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) toward exposed to various conditions, as well as to test their susceptibility toward related antibiotics. The method of His measurement in colostrum and natural Iraqi breast milk was modified  by transferring the separation column of  Amino Acid Analyzer (AAA) to a High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) that contains a fluorescent detector.

Detection of Mutations in Exon 10 and 13 of ATP7B Gene among Iraqi patients with Wilson Disease

copper metabolism due to mutations in copper transport gene ATP7B resulting in hepatic and neuropsychiatric manifestation. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which mutations in gene ATP7B involved in development of WD and assessment of parameters related to copper metabolism in patients with Wilson disease. Accordingly, blood samples were obtained from 35 patients with WD (20 male and 15 female) with a mean age of 9.12 years and age range of 5 – 40 years old Other 10 apparently, healthy individuals were also included.
