1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundL-Alanyl-L-glutamine (Ala-Gln) represents the great application potential in clinic due to the unique physicochemical properties. A new approach was developed to synthesize Ala-Gln by recombinant Escherichia coli OPA, which could overcome the disadvantages of traditional chemical synthesis. Although satisfactory results had been obtained with recombinant E. coli OPA, endotoxin and the use of multiple antibiotics along with toxic inducer brought the potential biosafety hazard for the clinical application of Ala-Gln.

resultsIn this study, the safer host Pichia pastoris was applied as an alternative to E. coli. A recombinant P. pastoris (named GPA) with the original gene of α-amino acid ester acyltransferase (SsAet) from Sphingobacterium siyangensis SY1, was constructed to produce Ala-Gln. To improve the expression efficiency of SsAet in P. pastoris, codon optimization was conducted to obtain the strain GPAp. Here, we report that Ala-Gln production by GPAp was approximately 2.5-fold more than that of GPA. The optimal induction conditions (cultivated for 3 days at 26 °C with a daily 1.5% of methanol supplement), the optimum reaction conditions (28 °C and pH 8.5), and the suitable substrate conditions (AlaOMe/Gln = 1.5/1) were also achieved for GPAp. Although most of the metal ions had no effects, the catalytic activity of GPAp showed a slight decrease in the presence of Fe

conclusionsCharacterized by economy, efficiency and practicability, production of Ala-Gln by recycling immobilized GPAp (whole-cell biocatalyst) is represents a green and promising way in industrial.
