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 abstractGelatin Extraction of Alaska Pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) Dry SkinYanan Li, Fangyuan Chen, Jiong Zou et al.Alaska Pollock is rich in resource. And during its processing, skin is peeled as byproducts. The skin of Alaska Pollock contains lots of collagen or gelatin, promising materials, which can be used in food, cosmetics, biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. Extracting collagen from the dry skin of Alaska Pollock is studied in this study to provide a better basement for fully … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2018 · 9,498 accessesView PDFCite

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 abstractVelocities and Accelerations at the 3R Mechatronic SystemsRelly Victoria V. Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.This article presents an original method to determine the speeds and accelerations to structures MP R-3 The structure of the 3R (space) are known (required) rotation speeds of the triggers and must be determined speeds and accelerations of the endeffector M. Starting from the positions of direct kinematic system MP R-3deriving these system of relations in depending on the time, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Natural Convection in a Square Porous Cavity Thermally Modulated on Both Side WallsGiovani E.B. Malomar, Abdoulaye Gueye, Cheikh Mbow et al.The numerical study of natural convection in a square porous cavity saturated by a Newtonian fluid is presented in this study. The vertical walls are subjected to temperatures varying sinusoidally in time and phase opposition while the upper and lower horizontal walls are thermally adiabatic. Darcy model is used, it is also assumed the fluid studied is incompressible and obeys … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 13 Aug 2016 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractExtending the Repertoire of Structures in DNA NanotechnologyClive DelmonteDNA nanotechnology remains an active area of research and advances have been reviewed recently. DNA nanotechnology seeks to deploy molecules at an atomic level and on a small molecule scale. Other techniques in biophysics and biochemistry do not need to address the issue of the true structure of the nucleic acids at an atomic level but, rather, at a macro-atomic … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 7 Oct 2015 · 13,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Characterization and Motif Election of Neurotoxins from Snake VenomMahmudul Hasan, Ziaul Faruque Joy, Elius Hossain Bhuiyan, Md Shiful IslamSnake venom is a mixture of many biological components. Snakes usually use their venomic armory to tackle different prey and predators in adverse natural world. Among various components of the snake venom, neurotoxins play an important role in exerting effect by blocking the neuromuscular transmission through selective binding to muscle nicotinic Acetyl-Choline Receptors (nAChR). A set of 30 reference protein … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 Mar 2015 · 7,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDESIGN OF CANDIDA ANTARCTICA LIPASE B THERMOSTABILITY IMPROVEMENT BY INTRODUCING EXTRA DISULFIDE BOND INTO THE ENZYMEUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Ahmad Randy, Arli Aditya ParikesitCandida Antarctica Lipase B (CALB) is extensively studied in enzymatic production of biodiesel, pharmaceutical products, detergents and other chemicals. One drawback of using CALB is its relatively low optimum temperature at 313 K (40°C). The objective of this research is to design CALB mutant with improved thermostability by introducing extra disulfide bond. Molecular dynamic simulation was conducted to get better … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2014 · 9,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Consequences of the Polymorphism Q223R in the Human Leptin Receptor: A Molecular Dynamics StudyJonathan P. Carrillo-Vázquez, Brenda Chimal-Vega, Beatriz Zamora-López et al.Leptin Receptor (LEPR) is a component of a signaling pathway related to appetite and energy expenditure. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) of Leptin receptor gene (lepr) have been proposed as possible modulator of adipose tissue and body weight. The main phenomenological consequence reported of these SNPs is the modulation of the LEP-LEPR interaction promoting the weight gain. Particularly, Q223R polymorphism has … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2013 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
