Prepared functional biomaterials were characterized and evaluated by SEM, FT-IR analysis, and physical properties. Results of ALP recognition properties indicated that adsorbed amounts (Q) of ALP on functional ALP imprinted biomaterials were 3.8 to 4.9-fold higher than that of non-ALP imprinted biomaterial. Results of ALP release revealed that the ALP release rate for PX added biomaterials was 1.10 (36.5 °C) or 1.30 (45 °C) times faster than that at 25 °C. These results indicate that functional ALP imprinted biomaterials have thermo-sensitive properties due to the addition of PX. Results of ALP release using artificial skin indicated that ALP release was increased at a relatively steady-state rate for 3 h and that the ALP release behavior followed the non-Fickian diffusion mechanism.This study reports an efficient and fast procedure for the purification of laccase (PaL) obtained from the resin of Pistacia atlantica Desf. Pembrolizumab It was purified by one-step affinity chromatography and showed the specific activity of 393 U/mg with 81.9-fold purification. The molecular weight of PaL was estimated to be approximately 60 kDa using gel electrophoresis SDS-PAGE. Moreover, it depicted diphenolase activity and high affinity towards 2,6-dimethoxy phenol (Km = 10.01 ± 0.5 mM) and syringaldazine (Km = 6.57 ± 0.2 mM) comparing with plant-origin polyphenol oxidases reported in the literature. It should be noted that PaL possessed optimal activity at pH 7.5 and 45 °C. It also remained stable under different conditions of pH (6.5-8.0), temperature (25-45 °C), and when it was exposed to several metal ions. The MTT and flow cytometry assays demonstrated that the enzyme treatment significantly affected growth of HeLa, HepG2, and MDA-MB-231 cells with LC50 values of 4.83 ± 0.02, 61 ± 0.31, and 26.83 ± 0.11 μM after 72 h, respectively. NOVELTY STATEMENT This is the first attempt to isolate and characterize a new oxidoreductase from the resin of Pistacia atlantica Desf., native species of Iran, to recruit it in cytotoxicity researches. In the purification process by an efficient affinity column (SBA-NH2-GA), the enzyme was eluted promptly with a satisfied yield. The purified laccase exerted higher affinity to diphenolic compounds and pH-thermal stability compared to other plant-derived polyphenol oxidases. The purified enzyme was found to show anti-oxidant capacity and significantly inhibited the growth of cancerous cells in vitro. PaL showed more cytotoxic activity towards HeLa and MDA-MB-231 cells by induction of apoptosis. The cytotoxic activity of the laccase was measured by flow cytometry.Bufadienolides are the main active ingredients of Venenum Bufonis, which is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine secreted from parotoid gland and skin glands of Bufo bufo gargarizans. According to the transcriptome analysis, "cholesterol-bile acid-bufadienolidies pathway" was proposed as animal-derived bufadienolides biosynthesis pathway by us previously. In this pathway 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD) and steroid 5β-reductase (SRD5β) might be the key enzymes to convert the A/B ring to cis-configuration. Therefore, as the second report of our group, here we report the cloning of the full length of SRD5β cDNA of B. bufo gargarizans (Bbg-SRD5β) from the parotoid gland of B. bufo gargarizans for the first time, and site-directed mutagenesis was used to explored the character of Bbg-SRD5β. Bbg-SRD5β had an open reading frame of 981 bp and encoded 326 amino acids residues. The expression conditions of the recombinant Bbg-SRD5β in E. coli BL21 (DE3) harbored with pCold-Bbg-SRD5β was optimized as induction for 10 h
