Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRendezvous with Tat: Transactivator of Transcription during Human Immunodeficiency Virus PathogenesisSneham Tiwari, Madhavan P.N. Nair, Shailendra K. SaxenaAcquired immune deficiency syndrome is a deadly disease caused by HIV, declared as a global catastrophe engulfing millions of lives per year. It took ~1.8 million lives in the year 2010 alone, as per reports of UNAIDS. HIV-1 is an enveloped retrovirus, having genome composed of two copies of ssRNA. It attacks the T-lymphocytes of the hosts, causes several multifaceted … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2012 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiotic Compounds from Bacillus: Why are they so Amazing?Patrick FickersThe constant increase of multi-drug resistant pathogens stimulates research, more than ever, to identify and develop new antibacterial compounds. The recent advances in genome sequencing have highlighted the genus Bacillus as an unexpected source of antibiotic-like compounds. This review focus on the different class of antimicrobial molecules produce by Bacillus genus such as polyketides, nonribosomal peptide, bacteriocins as well as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2012 · 9,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Transgenic Maize using Immature Embryos of HiII Genotype as a Vaccine CandidateHyun A. Kim, Suk Yoon Kwon, Han Sang Yoo et al.Problem statement: Plant-based vaccines posses some advantages over other types of vaccine biotechnology such as safety, low cost of mass vaccination programs and wider use of vaccines for veterinary medicine. These study was undertaken to develop the transgenic maize as edible vaccine candidate for animals. Approach: The immature embryos of HiII genotype were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strain C58C1 containing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus PCR in Detecting Target(s) of Hapalindole-T, From a Cyanobacterium, in Escherichia Coli: In Silico ValidationManoj K. Tripathi, Maheep Kumar, Vinay K. Singh et al.Problem statement: Identification of newer biomolecule as well as targets are a rising concern because of increasing drug resistance in bacteria. We have isolated a broad spectrum antibiotic biomolecule Hapalindole-T from a cyanobacterium, Fisherella sp. growing on local Azadirachta indica tree bark. A model bacterium E. coli was screened spontaneously for Hap-T resistance. These resistant strains of E. coli were … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 3 Mar 2012 · 13,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrition in Tertiary Education: Biological and Social ApproachesG. A. Fragkiadakis, C. Papandreou, K. GkouskouProblem statement: Human Nutrition, a necessary component of health-education, studies the food-depended growth/maintenance of the human body. To approach what nutritionists will need to apply in the 21st century, we searched the literature for new syllabus-fields. Approach: We detected fields likely to play a significant and innovative role in university teaching of Human Nutrition; then tried a synthesis of biological … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,590 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Genetic Diversity among Sugarcane Cultivars (Saccharum officinarum L.) using Simple Sequence Repeats MarkersAshutosh Pandey, Rupesh K. Mishra, Shashank Mishra et al.Problem statement: Increasing sugar productivity is the main concern of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) breeding programs. The complexity and size of the sugarcane genome is a major limitation in its genetic improvement. Characterization of sugarcane provides essential information of genetic diversity for breeders utilize for crop improvement. Approach and Results: The objective of this study was to evaluate the microsatellite … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 27 Jan 2012 · 7,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEntropyomics as the Blueprint of the Logic of Normal Cell Division and MalignancyKambiz AfrasiabiProblem statement: In this article I propose a blueprint based on one of the most fundamental laws governing the known universe, namely the second law of thermodynamics and I present support for its central role in initiation of mitosis and relationship of the other sub cellular compartments and their organization. Approach: Life is considered to be the most sophisticated antientropy … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 10,377 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction for Determining Copy Numbers of Transgenes in Lesquerella fendleriGrace Qianhong Chen, Jiann-Tsyh LinProblem statement: In transgenic plants, the number of transgene copies could greatly influence the level of expression and genetic stability of the target gene, thus it is important to develop an efficient method for accurate estimation of transgene copies. The quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) technique is becoming more efficient nowadays to determine copy numbers of transgenes in transgenic plants, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
