Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynchrotron Powder Diffraction Study of Radiation Damage in Langmuir Blodgett Nanotemplate Crystallised ProteinJonathan P. Wright, Eugenia Pechkova, Claudio NicoliniPolycrystalline samples of lysozyme were prepared with and without a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) thin film template via both the hanging drop method and batch crystallisation. Powder diffraction methods are used to compare these samples and to measure their resistance to radiation damage at room temperature. The X-ray induced amorphisation of the samples was followed as a function of time and it … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 8,175 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Glutaredoxin Gene (slr1562) Protects Escherichia coli against Abiotic StressesAhmed Gaber, Salah El-Din El-AssalProblem statement: Glutaredoxins (GRXs) are ubiquitous small heat stable glutathione-dependent oxidoreductase enzymes that play a crucial role in plant development and response to oxidative stress. Approach: Cyanobacterium Synechocystis strain PCC 6803 contains two genes (slr1562 and ssr2061) encoding glutaredoxins. In the present investigation the slr1562 gene (grxC) was isolated and characterized. Results: The results revealed that the amino acid sequence … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,582 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Hyperoxia on Brain Tissue Oxygen Tension in Non-Sedated, Non- Anesthetized Arctic Ground Squirrels: An Animal Model of Hyperoxic StressYilong Ma, Shufen Wu, Lawrence DuffyArctic Ground Squirrels (AGS) are classic hibernators known for their tolerance to hypoxia. AGS have been studied as a model of hypoxia with potential as a medical research model. Problem statement: Their unique resistance to the stressors of low oxygen led us to hypothesize that AGS might also be adaptable to hyperoxia. Approach: This study examined the physiological pattern associated … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,473 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModulation of Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 and Some Inflammatory Variables in Hyperinsulinemic Rats Treated with Cinnamon ExtractMohamed H. Mahfouz, Hala M. Ghanem, Mona A. MohamedCinnamon Extract (CE) has shown to be generally safe when ingested and to have many pharmacological properties. Problem statement: Study the effects of daily intake of CE on the modulation of hepatic, cardiac Insulin Receptor Substrate-1 (IRS-1) and their relations to some inflammatory variables in hyperinsulinemic rats. Approach: The influence of CE administered orally was studied in hyperinsulinemic rats. Eighteen … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,810 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExpression of Metallothionein-Like Protein 2B Gene Induced by Different Concentrations of Copper in White Spruce (Picea glauca)Megan McKergow, Kabwe NkongoloThe alterations to the expressions of metal transporter genes can induce metal ion uptake to maintain cell homeostasis when metal concentrations are low. Metallothioneins (MTs) are a class of low molecular mass (4-8 kDa), cysteine (Cys)-rich proteins that can bind metals via the thiol groups of their Cys residues. Studies on MT gene expressions in higher plants, such as conifers, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2022 · 5,118 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHost Plant-Induced Susceptibility of Two-Spotted Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) to Some Reduced-Risk AcaricidesTarikul IslamThe two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a cosmopolitan pest of a large number of host plants having extensive damage potential and the terrific ability of pesticide resistance. In the present study, spider mite population were reared continuously on the leaves of three susceptible host plants namely country bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L), papaya (Carica papaya L) and jute … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2018 · 9,338 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBioinformatics Analysis of Some Functional Genes and Proteins Involved in Obesity-Induced Type 2 DiabetesEhab M. Abdella, Rasha R. Ahmed, Mohamed B. Ashour et al.The incidence of type-2 diabetes is rising rapidly worldwide, mainly because of the increase in the incidence of obesity, which is an important risk factor for this condition. Both obesity and type-2 diabetes are complex genetic traits but they also share some nongenetic risk factors. Differences among individuals in their susceptibility to both these conditions probably reflect their genetic constitutions. … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 6 May 2013 · 12,601 accessesView PDF Cite
