Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption Behavior of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 on a Graphite Substrate for Biomedical ApplicationsIzabele Marquetti, Salil DesaiThe interaction of proteins with biomaterials plays an important role for several biomedical applications including implants and tissue engineering. Although different experimental approaches have been explored, the investigation of the molecular models for protein-substrate interaction is warranted to control of cellular functions. In this study, Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations were used to study the adsorption behavior of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2018 · 8,705 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow-Homology Protein Structural Class Prediction from Secondary Structure Based on Visibility and Horizontal Visibility NetworkZhi-Qin Zhao, Liang Luo, Xiao-Yan LiuIn this study, based on the predicted secondary structures of proteins, we propose a new approach to predict protein structural classes (α,β,α/β,α+β) for three widely used low-homology data sets. Fist, we obtain two time siries from the chaos game representation of each predicted secondary structure; second, based on two time series, we construct visibility and horizontal visibility network, respectively and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2018 · 9,668 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConservation of Binding of Llama and Other Animals’ Hemoglobins to Haptoglobins Across SpeciesMoges Woldemeskel, Oluseyi A. VanderpuyeThe plasma protein haptoglobin binds hemoglobin released from lysed erythrocytes. It causes removal of the free hemoglobin, thus preventing pathological oxidation of cells. Hemoglobin higher level structures are well conserved across animal species but primary structures can be as little as 50% homologous. Because of these differences, the question arose as to what extent hemoglobins can bind to haptoglobins from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2018 · 9,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Mi1.2 Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Resistance GeneSherin Amin Mahfouze, Shipra Saxena, Heba Amin Mahfouze, Manchikatla Venkat RajamTomato (Solanum peruvianum) Mi gene provides resistance to whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), potato aphids and nematode making Mi a useful source in integrated pest management program. The aim of this work was to isolate, clone and sequence Mi1.2 gene from S. peruvianum. In addition, physico-chemical identification of amino acids deduced from Mi1.2 gene was done. Secondary (2D) and tertiary (3D) structures … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 15 Nov 2017 · 7,793 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure Prediction and Binding Site Analysis of Hepatotoxic Microcystin-LR Degrading MlrC-Like Protein from Burkholderia sp. using Computational ApproachesDhananjaya P. Singh, Ratna Prabha, Vivek Keshri, P.C. AbhilashMicrocystin-LR (MCYST-LR) is a well characterized hepatotoxic heptapeptide produced by various species of cyanobacteria including Microcystis aeruginosa. Burkholderia is a genus of bacteria with cyanobacterial toxins degrading property. This study predicts the structure of microcystin degrading MlrC-like protein from Burkholderia sp. strain CCGE1002 that has microcystin degradation capability. Binding interaction of MlrC-like protein with MCYST-LR was studied. Three-dimensional model of … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 10 Jun 2016 · 8,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSDS-PAGE Protein Pattern and Antigenicity Cross Reaction of Human SchistosomesNahed A.A. EL-Ossily, Doaa A. Yones, Mohamed El-Salahy M.M. Monib et al.Schistosomiasis is one of the most important neglected tropical diseases. Its control depends on treatment with the available drug praziquantel. No vaccine exists despite the intense search for molecular candidates and adjuvant formulations over the last three decades. The present study aimed to compare the antigenic protein structures of Schistosoma mansoni, S. haematobium, Fasciola. hepatica and Echinococus granulosus hydatid cyst … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2016 · 7,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Molecular Docking Studies on Rnase Aspergillus niger and Leishmania donovani Actin: Antileishmanial ActivityRavi Kumar Gundampati, Shraddha Sahu, Kirti Shila Sonkar et al.A.niger Rnase was designed from ACTBIND (PDB ID: 3D3Z). Yeast actin-human gelsolin segment 1 complex (PDB ID: 1YAG) was used as template for L. donovani actin protein for 3D model in Modeller9v8. These models were testified by PROCHECK, ERRAT, WHAT-IF, PROSA2003 and VERIFY-3D. All evidences suggest that the geometric quality of the backbone conformation, energy profile, residue interaction and contact … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,527 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Pharmacological Targets Combining Docking and Molecular Dynamics SimulationsIlizaliturri-Flores Ian, Rosas-Trigueros Jorge Luis, Carrillo-Vazquez Jonathan Pablo et al.Studies that include both experimental data and computational simulations (in silico) have increased in number because the techniques are complementary. In silico methodologies are currently an essential component of drug design; moreover, identification and optimization of the best ligand based on the structures of biomolecules are common scientific challenges. Geometric structural properties of biomolecules explain their behavior and interactions and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 8,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDIFFERENT APPROACHES TO CRYSTALLIZATION OF MEMBRANE PROTEINSPrakash G. Doiphode, Vivek Pratap SinghCrystallography is more like an art than science. Crystallizing membrane proteins are a big challenge; membrane proteins are present in the cell membrane and serve as cell support. The most important feature of membrane protein is that it contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions on its surface. They are generally much more difficult to study than soluble proteins. The problem … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Dec 2012 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
