Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn silico and in vitro Structural Analysis on the Interaction of Calmodulin and Calmodulin-Binding Motif of FKBP35 from Plasmodium knowlesiSazlinawatie Aladin, Cahyo Budiman et al.FK506-binding protein 35 (FKBP35) is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase found in Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic malaria parasite responsible for concerning cases of malaria infection in East Malaysia. This protein contains a segment known as the calmodulin-binding motif (Pk-CBM), which is predicted to facilitate interaction with calmodulin from P. knowlesi (Pk-CaM). Although this interaction is considered promising for future antimalarial drug … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 10 Mar 2025 · 4,846 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Contribution of Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) K Peptide in Enhancing the Expression of Lipase from Sphingobacterium sp.: In vitro and in Silico StudiesIbrahim Muhammad et al.Sphingobacterium sp. AB3 lipase is a psychrophilic enzyme with optimal lipolytic activity at pH 7 and 15°C. The cold-adapted properties of the lipase render it suitable for various low-temperature industrial applications such as biodiesel production, detergent formulation, and non-thermal food processing. Recent studies have shown that co-expression of LEA K peptide with AB3 lipase resulted in enhanced protein expression in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 21 Nov 2024 · 4,569 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans Lipase Activity and Binding Affinity by Acetone Treatment: Kinetic and in silico InvestigationsAmmar Khazaal Kadhim Almansoori, Alyaa Abdulhussein Alsaedi et al.Lipase Geobacillus thermodenitrificans (LipGt) is a thermostable enzyme that has an optimal activity temperature of 65°C. It can tolerate various organic solvents and has an improved activity, especially in the presence of acetone. In this study, in-vitro and in-silico studies were carried out to investigate the effect of acetone in enhancing the kinetic and binding affinity of LipGt. The LipGt … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2024 · 4,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Trilobatin on Bovine Serum Albumin: Interaction Mechanism and Molecular DockingYuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang, Yaping Li et al.Understanding the transport and distribution of small molecules in vivo is aided by studying their interactions with proteins. As a natural sweetener, trilobatin possesses several biological activities. However, uncertainty surrounds the trilobatin and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) interaction mechanism. In this study, the binding types, number of binding sites and binding constants of trilobatin interaction with BSA were studied by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2024 · 4,843 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSorption of Phenols: Influence of Groundwater pH and of Soil Organic Carbon ContentSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara ZanettiProblem statement: Physical and chemical properties of soil, groundwater and pollutants deeply influenced the type and the strength of sorption phenomena involving hydrophobic organic contaminants: Soil fraction of organic carbon (foc) and cation exchange capacity, groundwater pH and pollutants hydrophobicity were with undoubtedly the predominant issues. Approach: In this study an experimental study of the sorption of phenol and 2-nitrophenol … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntrinsically Unstructured Proteins: Potential Targets for Drug DiscoveryPathan Salma, Chintan Chhatbar, Sriram SeshadriProblem statement: The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in some of the most critical cellular control mechanisms and it appears that their rapid turnover, aided by their unstructured nature in the unbound state, provides a level … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHydrophobic, Polar and Hydrogen Bonding Based Drug-Receptor Interaction of TetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinonesV.K. Sahu, A.K.R. Khan, R.K. Singh, P.P. SinghAnti-HIV drug discovery has been increasingly focusing on HIV-1-RT (reverse transcriptase) as a potential therapeutic target. Tetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinone (TIBO) belongs to non-nucleoside group of reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). A computational chemistry study has been performed on a series of tetrahydroimidazo-benzodiazepinones as HIV-1-NNRT inhibitors. Problem statement: In order to search out new drug of desired activity from the lead compounds, there was … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,837 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
