Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlutathione S-transferase (T1 & M1) Null Genotypes as Risk Determinants in Sudanese for Developing Type Two Diabetes MellitusGaafar Mahmoud, Hisham Mohamed Abdelrahim, Abed Al Salam Aljahmany, Eltayeb Mohamed Ahmed TayrabGlutathione S-transferases (GSTT1 and GSTM1) are globular proteins responsible for the detoxification of xenobiotics and the prevention of oxidative damage. Functional polymorphisms of the antioxidant glutathione and enzymes have a role in the pathogenicity of T2DM and its complications. The present study is aimed to assess association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 genetic polymorphisms with T2DM in Sudanese people. This case-control … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 16 Oct 2020 · 6,426 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn silico Analysis of three Committed-Steps Involved in Triterpenoid Biosynthesis from Ganoderma lucidumXiaorong Shui, Xiaozhong Lan, Wei LeiGanoderma lucidum is widely considered as one of the most valuable Traditional Chinese Medicines, with various bioactive constituents and pharmaceutical effects. Triterpenoids are important effective ingredients of G. lucidum, which are synthesized mainly through the mevalonate pathway. In this study, we aimed to characterize and analyze three committed-step enzymes of the mevalonate pathway, 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR), Farnesyl Diphosphate Synthase … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2016 · 7,349 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHEURISTIC DISCRETIZATION METHOD FOR BAYESIAN NETWORKSMariana D.C. Lima, Silvia M. Nassar, Pedro Ivo R.B.G. Rodrigues et al.Bayesian Network (BN) is a classification technique widely used in Artificial Intelligence. Its structure is a Direct Acyclic Graph (DAG) used to model the association of categorical variables. However, in cases where the variables are numerical, a previous discretization is necessary. Discretization methods are usually based on a statistical approach using the data distribution, such as division by quartiles.
