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 abstractINHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF POTENTOX AGAINST DNA GYRASE OF ENTEROBACTERIACEAEManu Chaudhary, Anurag PayasiDNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase catalyzes the supercoiling of relaxed closed circular DNA. In this report we evaluated the in vitro inhibitory effect of non antibiotic adjuvant compounds disodium edetate and sodium citrate against supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase. Further, we assessed the effect of different drugs alone and in combination with one or more adjuvants in overcoming … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2014 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Production of Extracellular Alkaline Lipase by an Improved Strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 10,055Deepali Bisht, Santosh Kumar Yadav, Nandan Singh DarmwalProblem statement: Lipases are industrially important enzymes having applications in numerous industries. For easy commercialization it is necessary to produce lipases at industrial level which could be achieved by strain improvement and medium formulation. Approach: In the present study strain improvement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 10,055 was done by chemical mutagenesis using mutagen 4-nitroquinoline1-oxide for alkaline lipase production. Different fermentation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 24 Nov 2011 · 8,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of ced-9 dsRNA on Caenorhabditis elegans and Meloidogyne incognitaRobert T. Gaeta, Abdellatif Bahaji, Glenda W. Polack, Alejandro Calderón-UrreaAbstract: Problem Statement: In metazoans Programmed Cell Death (PCD) is essential for proper development. Suppression of PCD is needed to guarantee cell survival and in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans the regulation of PCD is accomplished by the function of the ced-9 gene. Approach: In this work the use of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to knock-down ced-9 gene function was tested … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Complete Automation of Unit Testing for JavaScript ProgramsM. AlshraidehProblem statement: Program testing is expensive and labor intensive, often consuming more than half of the total development costs, and yet it is frequently not done well and the results are not always satisfactory. The objective of this paper is to present an automatic test data generation tool that aims to completely automate unit testing of JavaScript functions. The methodology: … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,289 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetinoids Chemosensitize Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines to Cisplatin Independent of Nuclear Receptors and p53Suresh Guruswamy, Doris M. BenbrookTreatment of ovarian cancer with cisplatin-based chemotherapy is highly toxic and is often followed by cancer recurrence. Repeated treatments with cisplatin frequently result in the development of resistance to this drug. Drugs with low toxicity that could enhance the tumor cell killing effects of cisplatin could potentially reduce the toxicity and enhance the efficacy of cisplatin. The mechanism of cell … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,958 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of AP-1 Antagonism in Growth Inhibition of Cervical Cancer Cell Lines by RetinoidsShennan Lu, Doris M. BenbrookRetinoid compounds induce multiple molecular effects that need to be taken into consideration in the development of theses agents as pharmaceuticals for cancer chemoprevention. Inhibition of cancer cell growth by retinoids is thought to occur through at least two mechanisms of transcriptional regulation resulting from direct binding of retinoids to nuclear retinoid receptors (RARs and RXR’s). First, the nuclear receptors … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Complementation Studies of Human Pin1 in Azotobacter vinelandii Revealed that it Requires Amino Terminus of the NifM to Deliver PPIase Effect to the Fe-protein of NitrogenaseKumaraguru Raja, Lakshmi Pulakat, Nara GaviniThe NifM is a peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase and is required for the maturation and activation of the Fe protein of Nitrogenase. Since the carboxyl terminus of NifM is similar to the Human Pin1, we expressed the Human Pin1 in A. vinelandii BG98, a nifM mutant strain containing a kanamycin insertion and found that it could not complement the function … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Mutagenesis of Streptokinase Producing BacteriaThaer Taleb Abed Abdelghani, Adinarayana Kunamneni, Poluri EllaiahOf 103 β-haemolytic Streptococci (with haemolytic activity) in total were isolated from different samples of blood and biomass from infected throat, 47 isolates exhibited streptokinase (SK) activity. T3, identified as a new variant of Streptococcus equisimilis, was found to be excellent SK producer in submerged fermentation and was selected for strain improvement studies. This strain was mutagenized by UV and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,789 accessesView PDFCite
