Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleIn silico Modeling of α1A-Adrenoceptor: Interaction of its Normal and Mutated Active Sites with Noradrenaline as well as its Agonist and AntagonistRamchandran Vijayan, Naidu Subbarao, Birendra Nath MallickNoradrenaline, like most other neurotransmitters, acts through various adrenoceptor subtypes. The structure and active site of adrenoceptors for the binding of noradrenaline were unknown, however, such information are crucial for understanding the molecular mechanism of action of neurotransmitters, including noradrenaline, in health and disease as well as for drug designing. In this in silico study, we modeled the α1A-adrenoceptor; a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,140 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Meat-Derived Lactic Acid Bacteria, Lactobacillus plantarum IIA, Expresses a Functional Parvulin-Like Protein with Unique Structural PropertyCahyo Budiman, Irma Isnafia Arief, Fernandes Opook, Muhammad YusufThe genome sequence of a Lactic Acid Bacterium (LAB) Lactobacillus plantarum IIA contains a single gene encoding a parvulin-like protein (Par-LpIIA). This protein belongs to Peptidyl Prolyl cis-trans Isomerase (PPIase) family proteins that catalyze a slow cis-trans isomerization of cis prolyl bond during protein folding. This study aims to provide molecular and biochemical evidences of the existence of Par-LpIIA in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2021 · 7,023 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUse 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCharacteristic Study of the Marine Algae Sargassum sp. on Metal AdsorptionA. Saravanan, V. Brindha, Soundarajan KrishnanProblem statement: Biomass of brown marine macro algae is a biological resource that is available in large quantities and can form a good base for the development of biosorbent material. Approach: Algae have been found to be potentially suitable biosorbents because of its cheap availability, both in fresh or salt water, relatively high surface area and high binding affinity. Results: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,660 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Electrical Energy Consumption of Some Areas Supplied by the Lomé a Interconnection Station of the CEET in Lomé, Togo: Analysis and DiscussionKrou Iparbè, Palanga Eyouléki Tcheyi Gnadi et al.This study aims to analyze the electricity consumption of Greater Lomé (Togo), a critical issue in view of the increasing needs and imperatives of energy transition. We used 63,943 data samples from the Togo Electric Energy Company (CEET), covering eight sites spread across three municipalities over a period of 84 months (2018-2024). A multidimensional statistical approach was used to evaluate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2026 · 3,384 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring the Rate of Change at Urualla Gully Erosion Site Using GIS and Remote Sensing MethodologySylvanus IroUrualla gully erosion was monitored using GIS and remote sensing in Urualla, Ideato North Imo State Nigeria.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of NaCl on the Stability of Ab3 Lipase from Sphingobacterium sp. that Co-Expressed with LEA K Using In silico ApproachIbrahim Muhammad et al.This study explores how sodium chloride (NaCl) influences the binding affinity and stability of the Ab3 lipase-LEA K complex when interacting with olive oil, using molecular docking techniques. The docking simulations, conducted with AutoDock Vina, reveal that the presence of NaCl significantly enhances the binding affinity of the enzyme-substrate complex, increasing it from-6.55 kcal/mol in the absence of salt to-7.81 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2025 · 5,599 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Validation of Selected Compounds from the GC-MS Profile of Abies numidica Essential Oil and their Antibacterial EffectsAbdelouahab Dehimat, Boudjellal Fayssal, Salem Dounya et al.This work examined the chemical composition of the Algerian endemic tree Abies numidica (Pinaceae) and investigated the antibacterial potential of three major constituents of its essential oil-Santene, Linalyl acetate, and 2,6-Octadiene-2,6-dimethyl-as reported in previously published GC-MS data. Computational antibacterial screening was carried out by docking the selected compounds onto the bacterial proteins 5Z9N (Staphylococcus aureus) and 3AQC (Micrococcus luteus).
