Approach: On … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBioactive Compounds Screening from Zingiberaceae Family as Influenza A/Swine Flu Virus Neuraminidase Inhibitor through Docking ApproachUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Fadilah, Arli Aditya ParikesitProblem statement: Influenza A/H1N1 is a disease caused by infection of influenza a virus subtype H1N1. It is a major health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. This virus constantly mutates and consequently will be developed into new drug-resistant strains. Approach: In this research, we have conducted docking study to screen bioactive compounds from Zingiberaceae family, which has a role … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,623 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Novel Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Integrase Inhibitors by Shape-Based Virtual ScreeningT.K. Omprakash, A. Thamarai Selvan, A. Shahul Hameed, S.P. GeethaProblem statement: Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) is causative agent of the immune system disease, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Majority of anti-HIV drugs target reverse transcriptase and protease enzymes. Toxicity and development of multidrug resistant HIV-1 virus strains are the reasons for studying new targets in HIV-1 replication process for identifying novel inhibitor with low toxicity and high activity. Approach: … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn Silico Analysis of Envelope Dengue Virus-2 and Envelope Dengue Virus-3 Protein as the Backbone of Dengue Virus Tetravalent Vaccine by Using Homology Modeling MethodUsman Sumo Friend Tambunan, Arli Aditya Parikesit, Hendra et al.Problem statement: Dengue fever, which was caused by Dengue virus infection, had became a major public health problem in the tropic and subtropical countries. Dengue virus (DENV) had four serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4), based on their immunogenic in the human body. Preventive measure will be necessary to decrease the prevalence of dengue fever, by developing modern vaccine.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Evidence for the Association of a Strain of Uganda Variant of East African Cassava Mosaic Virus to Symptom Severity in Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Fields in TogoK. D. Adjata, E. Muller, M. Peterschmitt et al.Problem statement: This study was carried out to demonstrate that the severity of Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD) in Togo, is not only influenced by synergism between cassava Begomoviruses in presence, but essentially by recombination between the different Begomoviruses infecting cassava. Approach: Foliar samples presenting typical biological features of Begomoviruses infection were collected from cassava and wild infected plants from different … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
