EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Nutritional Quality of Wheat (Triticum aestivum) by Metabolic Engineering of Isoflavone PathwayAhmed Mohamed El-Shehawi, Abdelmegid Ibrahim Fahmi, Mona Mohamed Elseehy, Hesham Ahmed NagatyIsoflavones are large group of secondary metabolites produced in legumes such as soybeans. They have essential biological functions as nutraceutical and health functions for human. They are involved in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing organisms and plant competition (allelopathy). In this report, isoflavonoids were expressed in wheat (Triticum aestivum) via introducing the key enzymes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPapain, a Plant Enzyme of Biological Importance: A ReviewFlorence Mamboya, Ezekiel AmriPapain is a plant proteolytic enzyme for the cysteine proteinase family cysteine protease enzyme in which enormous progress has been made to understand its functions. Papain is found naturally in papaya (Carica papaya L.) manufactured from the latex of raw papaya fruits. The enzyme is able to break down organic molecules made of amino acids, known as polypeptides and thus … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 44,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscovery of Evolutionary Divergence of Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Photosynthesis: Fine Tuning of Biogenesis of the NifH and the ChlL by a Peptidyl-Prolyl Cis/Trans IsomeraseNara Gavini, Sinny Delacroix, Kelvin Harris Jr., Lakshmi PulakatProblem statement: Despite the structural and functional similarities between the nitrogenase that performs biological nitrogen fixation reaction and the Dark Protochlorphyllide Oxidoreductase (DPOR) that performs chlorophyll-biosynthesis, attempts to substitute nitrogenase-components with DPOR-components have hitherto failed. This investigation was undertaken to test if Chlamydomonas reinhardtii protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductase (ChlL) that shares some structural similarity with Nitrogenase Reductase (NifH) could complement the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Electromagnetic Radiation and Specific Absorption Rate of Mobile Phones with Fractional Human Head Models via Green's FunctionsNookala Srinivasa Rao, G. R. Babu, P. V.S. SrinivasProblem statement: Electromagnetic Radiation from mobile hand set is identified as one of the side effects for increasing rate of brain tumor. Due to this reason, Mobile phone industries are attentive towards safety issues of human health. Specific Absorption Rate is one of the important parameter while modeling the radiation effect on human head. Brain material with homogeneity is treated … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 16 Jul 2011 · 6,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatus of Water Quality Based on the Physico-Chemical Assessment on River Water at Wildlife Sanctuary Sibuti Mangrove Forest, Miri SarawakSeca Gandaseca, Noraini Rosli, Johin Ngayop, Chandra Iman AriantoProblem statement: Mangrove forest is a component of wetlands that has been recognized as one of the most productive ecosystem in the tropic. Rapid development and other land uses in the mangrove areas over the years had negatively affected the ecological functions and its ecosystem. Study was carried out on river water quality at Sibuti Wildlife Sanctuary, Miri based on … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 12 Jul 2011 · 9,962 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioInfoPhysics Models of Neuronal Signal Processes Based on Theories of Electromagnetic FieldsKang Cheng, Chang H. ZouProblem statement: The aphasia is one of human language and action related brain associative diseases. The mechanisms of the diseases and the brain association are still unclear. In this study, we proposed our models of the neuronal signal processes, in a view of BioInforPhysics, to understand the mechanisms. Approach: Our models are based on today’s solidest Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) theoretic … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2010 · 6,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNifH: Structural and Mechanistic Similarities with Proteins Involved in Diverse Biological ProcessesSurobhi Lahiri, Lakshmi Pulakat, Nara GaviniThe NifH protein is a subunit of the nitrogenase enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. This protein contains highly conserved regions including the nucleotide binding sites, metal center ligands and the Switch I and Switch II domains. A number of proteins have structural and mechanistic similarities as well as evolutionary relationships with the NifH protein, notable … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomedicine and Informatics Model of Alzheimer's DiseaseKang Cheng, Chang-Hua ZouIn a perspective of biomedicine and informatics, the mechanism of Alzheimer's, senile amnesia, or other aging-associated and cognitive impairment related diseases involve four important informative processing procedures: propagation, consolidation, retrieval and cognition, In this study, we systematically model the four procedures based on published experimental data. When modeling the propagation, we develop an equivalent circuit of biological membrane to describe … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 28 May 2007 · 6,824 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractEditorial Commentary: Challenge of Non–AIDS-Defining Cancers (NADCs), Focusing on Trans Activation Response Element (TAR) RNA Embedding ExosomesLechuang Chen, Ge JinGlobally, 37.9 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2018 (Organization, 2018). Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in AIDS patients and chronically HIV-infected people. With the aid of combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) have a longer life span. However, because the virus is not completely eradicated, PLWH under antiretroviral … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2019 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
