Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Murine Charged Multivesicular Body Protein 2A, CHMP2A Interacts with the 5' and 3' Terminal Regions of Dengue Virus Complementary Minus-strand RNASuchita Chaudhry, Sathyamangalam Swaminathan, Navin KhannaDengue (DEN) viruses, of which there are four distinct serotypes (DEN-1, -2, -3 and –4), belong to the Flaviviridae family. Their ‘plus’ sense RNA genomes contain Non-Translated Regions (NTRs) at their 5’ and 3’ ends. Replication of viral genomic RNA, which takes place in close association with host cell membranes, involves the initial synthesis of the complementary minus sense RNA … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,314 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Meaning of a Redundant Codon: There is Protein Folding Information in Nucleic Acids in Addition to the Genetic CodeJan C. Biro, Josephine M.K. BiroAll the information necessary for protein folding is supposed to be present in the amino acid sequence. It is still not possible to provide specific ab initio structure predictions by bioinformatical methods. It is suspected that additional folding information is present in protein coding nucleic acid sequences, which is not represented by the known genetic code. Nucleic acid subsequences comprising … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2006 · 8,292 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Ferrous Ion Chelating Properties of Collagen Peptides from Dried and Fresh Cod SkinMengqian Chen, Cen Chen, Junchao Wu et al.Fish skin is a potential source of collagen and collagen is a protein source of bioactive peptides including iron chelating peptides. The aim of this study is to compare physicochemical properties of collagen extracted from fresh and dried cod skin and the ferrous ion chelating properties of collagen hydrolysates. Then the fresh and dried cod skin extracted collagen was hydrolyzed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 2 Jul 2021 · 7,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynergistic Effects of Wheat Bran and Inoculants on Fermentation and Nutritional Quality of Soybean Straw SilageLie Yang, Rundong Qin, Jiahuan Liu et al.The efficient valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass from soybean straw into high-quality silage remains a pressing challenge for sustainable livestock production. This study employed a 3×3 factorial design to systematically investigate the interactive effects between wheat bran additions (0%, 10%, 20% of fresh weight) and microbial inoculant regimes (control, Effective Microorganisms, EM+Trichoderma longibrachiatum) on soybean straw silage quality. Two-way ANOVA revealed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,109 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Aid Screening for Potential Antimalarial Choroquinone Compounds as Covid 19 Utilizing Computational Calculations and Molecular Docking StudyAsmaa Aboelnaga, Asmaa M. Fahim, Taghreed H. EL-SayedClick reaction of 4,7-dichloroquinoline (1) with thiosemicarbazide (2) to afford the corresponding 2-(7-chloroquinolin-4-yl)thiosemicarbazide (3) utilized ultrasonic irradiation which can cyclized easily with ethylacetoacetate to give the 3-(7-chloroquinolin-4-ylamino)-tetrahydro-6-methyl-2-thioxopyrimidin-4(1H)-one (4) via nucleophilic substitution reaction. The synthesized compounds was examined in vitro antimalarial activity with IC50 = 11.92, 25.37 μg/mL against chloroquinone drug. Furthermore, the theoretical investigation of most active compounds CQT and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2020 · 6,568 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Relevance of Bioinformatic Tools in the Study of Polymorphisms of the B4GALNT2 Gene and its Association with CancerEddaikra Atika, Haddouche Hayet, Touil-Boukoffa ChafiaThe human gene B4GALNT2 encodes an enzyme (β1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase II) that controls the expression of the blood group Sda carbohydrate’s antigen. This gene is located in position 17q21,32 and consists of 11 exons. The characterization and understanding of genetic variation is a real challenge in human genetics, both for healthy individuals and diseased ones. The in silico study of the B4GALNT2 … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 27 Feb 2020 · 6,767 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProducts of Solid-Phase Probiotic Bacilli Fermentation Increase Food Conversion Efficiency and Stimulate Chicken GrowthMazanko Maria S., Aleksandr I. Klimenko, Ivan F. Gorlov et al.Poultry farming is one of the major directions in agriculture. Agricultural poultry has high growth speed, productivity and is resistant to the industrial environment. Our group carried out a study of probiotic preparations of Bacillus subtilis KATMIRA1933 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens B-1895 strains. These preparations were made by solid-phase fermentation and tested for dynamical germination of rearing flock (Highsex brown).

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConservation of Binding of Llama and Other Animals’ Hemoglobins to Haptoglobins Across SpeciesMoges Woldemeskel, Oluseyi A. VanderpuyeThe plasma protein haptoglobin binds hemoglobin released from lysed erythrocytes. It causes removal of the free hemoglobin, thus preventing pathological oxidation of cells. Hemoglobin higher level structures are well conserved across animal species but primary structures can be as little as 50% homologous. Because of these differences, the question arose as to what extent hemoglobins can bind to haptoglobins from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2018 · 9,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrastructural and Immunological Characterization of Hepatitis C Core Protein-DNA Plasmid ComplexesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Yaraima Aguilera, Viviana Falcon et al.Recently, it has been shown that a truncated HCV core (HCcAg) variant, covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120), interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine (pIDKE2), encoding the HCV structural proteins (HCcAg, E1 and E2). In the present work, HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes, forming heterogeneous packaged structures, were visualized using a negative stain/rotary shadow technique. Interestingly, 72 hours after intramuscular injection of HCcAg.120-pIDKE2 complexes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,743 accessesView PDF Cite
