Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation Induced DNA Double Strand Break Studies of a Metal Sensitive Novel Bacterial Isolate from East Calcutta WetlandSanhita Chowdhury, Anindita Chakraborty, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: This study was an attempt to isolate anaerobic microbes with potential for DNA double strand break repair using methanogen specific medium (DSMZ 120) from East Calcutta Wetland in India. It also intended to verify the specificity of the medium for isolation of the desired family of microbe. Approach: Culture based technique was used to obtain the pure isolate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,123 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPassive Transfer of HIV-1 Antibodies and Drug Resistant Virus during a Health Care Worker Accident: Implications for HCW Post-Exposure ManagementCarlos Fernando De Oliveira, Ricardo Sobhie Diaz, Abdallah Harmache et al.Problem statement: We studied in detail a case in which a nurse caring for an HIV-infected child suffered a deep-laceration accident with contaminated blood. Approach: The patient had been treated with zidovudine (ZDV) and the nurse became infected despite prophylactic use of ZDV initiated 2 h after the accident. A reactive anti-HIV-1/2 EIA and an indeterminate western blot (gp120/160 reactivity) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,872 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrediction of a Putative Functional Region in the Human Bax Protein by Computational AnalysisMaría Sánchez-Aguilar, Laurence A. Marchat, Absalom ZamoranoStructural domains are relevant elements for interactions between Bcl-2 family members to regulate apoptosis and cell survival. Although BH1-BH4 domains can be identified by their sequence and selective occurrence in Bcl-2-family members, structural regions have not been entirely determined yet. The functional residues of Bax, the most representative pro-apoptotic protein of the human Bcl-2 family, remain almost unknown. Here, we … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,230 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Soybean Mosaic Virus NIa Protein and its Processing Event in Bacterial ExpressionBong K. Choi, Jae S. Park, Hye J. Ahn et al.Soybean mosaic virus (SMV)-CN18 is an Rsv resistance-breaking (RB) isolate to overcome soybean resistance genes Rsv1, Rsv3 and Rsv4. The aim of this study was to characterize nuclear inclusion protein a (NIa protein) of RB isolate at the molecular level and demonstrate its processing into genome-linked protein (VPg) and NIa-Pro domains in Esherichia coli containing a bacterial expression pET vector … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,902 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReport on Mammalian Fossils of Chinji Formation, Dhulian, PakistanMuhammad Akbar Khan, Abdul Ghaffar, Zulfiqar Ali et al.Twenty mammalian fossil specimens of varying preservational state are described from the Chinji Formation of Dhulian, Pakistan. The remains described in this study are all teeth and represent the Proboscidea, Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla. All the dental specimens are new variants recorded here for the first time. Pliotriplopus dhulianensis is new to science having small size and absence of crista than … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,274 accessesView PDF Cite
