Thus, it can be concluded that the cavities of apoferitin and GroEL acted as nanobiofactories for the synthesis and confinement of the size and shape of nanoparticles. Furthermore, the interior of these proteins provided a shielding effect for these nanoparticles and thus reduced/prevented their possible neurotoxic effect and confirmed safety in their method of production and application. The findings from this study would prove beneficial in the application of these nanoparticles as a potential drug/drug delivery vehicle for the prevention, treatment/management of diseases associated with these enzymes/proteins.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 22:22:09 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4378 Wed 12 May 2021 20:56:27 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5534 Wed 12 May 2021 20:15:43 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4607 Wed 12 May 2021 19:09:32 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4326 Wed 12 May 2021 18:29:03 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5748 Wed 12 May 2021 18:28:57 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1488 Wed 12 May 2021 18:17:34 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4143 Wed 12 May 2021 17:50:37 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1913 Wed 12 May 2021 17:38:01 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5454 Wed 12 May 2021 17:16:47 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2784 Wed 12 May 2021 17:15:53 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4333 Wed 12 May 2021 16:52:04 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3862 Wed 12 May 2021 16:47:29 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4534 Wed 12 May 2021 16:27:58 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1006 Wed 12 May 2021 16:27:00 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4410 Wed 12 May 2021 16:23:34 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4320 99%) oxidation was achieved for an extended period.

This uncertainty in the level of connectivity among coastal regions was addressed using mitochondrial DNA sequencing and genotyping of microsatellite repeat loci in the nuclear genome, which showed no evidence of major geographic barriers to gene flow in this species. Samples collected throughout the white steenbras core distribution showed high genetic diversity, low genetic differentiation and no evidence of isolation by distance or localised spawning. Although historically dominant in several fisheries, analysis of long-term commercial and recreational catch data for white steenbras indicated considerable declines and ultimately stock collapse. Improved catch-per-unit-effort in two large MPAs subsequent to closure confirmed that MPAs can be effective for the protection of white steenbras. However, the current MPA network encompasses a low proportion of sandy shoreline, for which white steenbras exhibits an affinity. Many MPAs do not prohibit recreational shore angling, which currently accounts for the greatest proportion of the total annual catch. Furthermore, EPAs within the juvenile distribution protect a negligible proportion of the total available surface area of estuaries – habitat on which white steenbras is wholly dependent. Despite some evidence of recent increases in abundance in estuaries and the surf zone in certain areas, white steenbras meets the criteria for “Endangered” on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and for “Protected species” status on the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act of South Africa. The species requires improved management, with consideration for its life-history style, estuarine dependency, surf zone residency, predictable spawning migrations and its poor conservation status. The multidisciplinary approach provides valuable information towards an improved scientific basis for the management of white steenbras and a framework for research that can be adopted for other overexploited, estuarine-associated coastal fishery species.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 04:06:38 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4314 Thu 13 May 2021 04:04:18 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4313 Thu 13 May 2021 03:38:11 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1003 Thu 13 May 2021 03:12:00 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5778 Thu 13 May 2021 03:03:20 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4400 Thu 13 May 2021 02:57:41 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2424 Thu 13 May 2021 01:54:54 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1552 Thu 13 May 2021 01:42:27 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4309 97 % in selectively extracting the aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2). High reproducibility marked by the low %RSDs of < 1% and low LODs of ≤ 0.02 ng/g were calculated in all cases. The LODs were within the monitoring requirements of the European Commission. The results were validated with a peanut butter certified reference material. The chlorophyll MIP on the other hand selectively removed chlorophyll that would otherwise interfere during pesticide residue analysis (PRA) from > 0.6 to <0.09 Au in green plants extracts. The extracted chlorophyll was removed to far below the level of ≥ 0.399 Au that is usually associated with interference during PRA. Furthermore, the MIP demonstrated better selectivity by removing only chlorophyll (> 99%) in the presence of planar pesticides than the currently employed graphitized carbon black (GCB) that removed both the chlorophyll (> 88%) and planar pesticides (> 89%). For the interfering cholic acid during drug residue analysis, cholic acid MIP electrospun nanofibers demonstrated to be more sensitive and possessing higher loading capacity than the MIP particles. 100% cholic acid was removed by the nanofibers from standard solutions relative to 80% by the particles. This showed that the nanofibers have better performance than the micro particles and as such have potential to replace the particle based SPE sorbents that are currently in use. All the templates were optimally removed from the prepared MIPs by employing a novel pressurized hot water extraction template removal method that was used for the first time in this thesis. The method employed only water, an environmentally friendly solvent to remove templates to ≥ 99.6% with template residual bleeding of ≤ 0.02%.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 01:07:56 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5627 Thu 13 May 2021 00:20:38 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4606 Mon 06 May 2024 05:23:01 SAST ]]>
