Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIN SILICO DESIGN OF THE M2 PROTON CHANNEL INHIBITORS OF H1N1 VIRUSUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Mochamad Reza Rahdiansyah, Arli Aditya ParikesitM2 proton channel of H1N1 Influenza A virus is the target protein anti-flu drugs amantadine and rimantadine. However, the two once powerful adamantane-based drugs lost their 90% bioactivity because of mutations of virus in recent twenty years. The resistance of influenza A virus to amantadine need to develop more effective adamantane-based drugs. Several research by molecular docking method have been … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 5 Jan 2013 · 7,999 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Photooxidation Pathways of Dicarboxylic Acids in Atmospheric DropletsL.M. Yang, L.E. Yu, M.B. RayLow molecular weight (LMW) dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) have received increasing attention because of their hygroscopic properties and capability of acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Based on the concentration profiles of intermediates identified during laboratory photooxidation of C7-C9 DCAs in a liquid-phase reaction system, chemometric analyses were conducted to examine the degradation pathways of DCAs for the formation of secondary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTheoretical Study of the Proton Transfer in EnaminonesRita Sabah EliasProblem statement: Hydrogen bonding has a vital rule to unrevealed the nature of many different interactions both in gas phase and condensed media thus it is one of the most important concepts in chemistry. Enaminoes with their ability to form intrahydrogen bonded cheated rings represent one of the suitable compounds to study such concept. Approach: The three possible tautomers of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Nov 2011 · 7,418 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Interaction Studies of H-Bonded Complexes of Benzamide in 1,4-Dioxan with Alcohols From Acoustic and Thermodynamic ParametersAN. Kannappan, R. Kesavasamy, V. PonnuswamyThe ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity measurements were carried out for the mixtures of benzamide with Propan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, 1-pentanol and n-hexanal in 1,4-dioxan at 303, 308 and 313K. The derived acoustic and thermodynamic parameters namely adiabatic compressibility, free length, free volume, internal pressure, viscous relaxation time and Gibbs free energy were evaluated with a view to investigate the nature of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of RNA-DNA Duplex Base Triplets to Antisense DrugsJie Yang, Yao Leng, Ju BaoSixty-four sets of three-dimensional models of RNA-DNA duplex base triplets were constructed based on codons by homology modeling method using software InsightII on Indigo workstation, which should be helpful for the study of RNA-DNA annealing, the basis of nucleic acids interactions and some peculiar motifs for design antisense oligonucleotides. Our research result reveal that the energies (such as E, Ec, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,531 accessesView PDFCite
