Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExtraction of Protein from Common Plant Leaves for Use as Human FoodA.E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Protein deficiency is one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world. The most disastrous consequences occur in children where protein malnutrition manifests itself in forms of two notorious diseases: Marasmus and kwashiorkor. Expansion of present agricultural practices into marginal lands is expected to solve this chronic protein shortage. The process of photosynthesis is the only non … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 12,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNutritional Value of the Maize Stalk Borer and American Bollworm as Unconventional Protein SourcesA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: The maize stalk borer and American bollworm were grown in an artificial media to evaluate their potential as human food sources. Approach: Both cultures were started from moths and the life cycle and culture structures were evaluated. Results: The larvae of both insects reached maximum weight and maximum length at the same time. The growth rate of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleC-Reactive Protein and Serum Procalcitonin Levels as Markers of Bacterial Upper Respiratory Tract InfectionsDiamantis P. Kofteridis, George Samonis, Alexander D. Karatzanis et al.Problem statement: Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs) are the most frequent of the community with major social and financial impact. Hence, early and proper diagnosis is of utmost importance. Biomarkers such as the circulating levels of Procalcitonin (PCT) have been shown to be elevated in systemic bacterial infections, but remain relatively low in viral infections and inflammatory diseases and have … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of L-Leucine Supplementation on Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Grower-Broiler Chickens Fed Low Protein DietsE. Erwan, A. R. Alimon, A. Q. Sazili et al.Problem statement: Supplementation of broiler diets with cristalline amino acids (i.e. lysine, ethionine and threonine) may support equal broiler growth and improve overall amino acids balance and enable a reduction in CP level of diets. Approach: A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental L-leucine in diets containing recommended levels and low crude protein (20 and 18%, respectively) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Yellow Mealworm as a Novel Source of ProteinA. E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Yellow mealworms of different sizes (4.8-182.7 mg) were grown in a medium of wheat flour and brewer’s yeast (95:5 by weight) to evaluate their potential as a protein source. Approach: There was an initial adjustment period (3-9 days) observed during which the younger larvae (4.8-61.1 mg) grew slowly while the older ones (80.3-182.7 mg) lost weight. After this … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 20,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNucleotide Sequence of the Coat Protein Gene of the Malaysian Passiflora Virus and its 3' Non-Coding RegionNorzihan Abdullah, Ismanizan Ismail, Vilasini Pillai et al.Problem statement: In this study, we identified the full length Coat Protein (CP) gene of the Malaysian Passiflora Virus (MPV) and its 3' non-coding region. The CP gene of the MPV contained 285 amino acid residues. Approach: Pairwise comparison of the MPV CP region with four other potyviruses, namely East Asian Passiflora Virus (EAPV), Passionfruit Woodiness Virus (PWV), Bean Common … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Parallel Maximal Cliques Algorithm for Protein Sequence ClusteringKhalid Jaber, Nur’Aini Abdul Rashid, Rosni AbdullahProblem statement: Protein sequence clustering is a method used to discover relations between proteins. This method groups the proteins based on their common features. It is a core process in protein sequence classification. Graph theory has been used in protein sequence clustering as a means of partitioning the data into groups, where each group constitutes a cluster. Mohseni-Zadeh introduced a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTarget Identification in Ory S1 Pollen Protein Allergen from Oryza sativa in the Course of Construction of Hypoallergenic VaccinesRuchi Sharma, A. K. SinghProblem statement: Recombinant-based approaches are mostly focused on genetic modification of allergens to produce molecules with reduced allergenic activity and conserved antigenicity, such as hypoallergens. Recombinant allergens represent promising tools for diagnosis and therapy of type I allergy. This approach was probably feasible with every allergen with known amino acid sequence. Approach: The primary aim of this study was to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,579 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImproving Protein 3D Structure Prediction Accuracy using Dense Regions Areas of Secondary Structures in the Contact MapAmer F. Al-Badarneh, Mohammad A. Khalil, Mo'taz A. Al-HamiProblem Statement: The protein folding problem is a fundamental problem in structural molecular biology. This problem describes how a protein is transformed from its primary sequence (i.e., amino acid sequence) into the three dimensional structure (3D structure) for this sequence that determines the function of the protein. The 3D structure of a protein can be represented using a square symmetrical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,537 accessesView PDFCite
