Abstract: Recently the morbidity, mortality and economic losses due to rapid transmission of Coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide has incentivatedan urgent call for the scientists to discover efficient antiviral drugs for human health. Marine polysaccharides have long been recognized for their biological activities with huge application potentials in biomedical field. Their antiviral activities have been well documented against various types of infectious viruses and new studies proving their antiviral

Abstract: During holiday celebrations, my family would hold gatherings in our home, and I would always help my mother prepare some traditionally known desserts in the Filipino culture, such as buko pandan (coconut salad with jelly) and fruit salad. I was advised to use canned pineapples instead of fresh ones because the latter contained more active enzymes, which “melted” the gelatin in the salad. When we discussed biomolecules in class, I became particularly interested with the topic, as it is relatively associated with biological processes in the human body such as digestion and metabolism. Thus, upon learning that gelatin - a major component in fruit salads - was made up of the biomolecule protein, I have decided to investigate the different factors that affected fruit enzymes and how these catalysts subsequently affected the breakdown of proteins. This would be demonstrated through
