Heterozygote Hemoglobin J Iran in Combination with Hemoglobin H Disease

This is a report concerning a concurrent case of hemoglobin J Iran (Hb J Iran) and Hemoglobin H (Hb H) disease in an Iranian woman. The patient was coincidentally found during the course of routine pre-marital genetic counselling for her son. The diagnosis of heterozygote Hb J Iran for her son, ultimately led to the diagnosis of concurrent Hb J Iran and Hb H disease. The hematological examinati...

Algebraic Approach to Molecular Thermodynamics

An algebraic model based on Lie-algebraic and discrete symmetry techniques is applied to the analysis of thermodynamic vibrational properties of molecules. The local anharmonic effects are described by a Morse-like potential and the corresponding anharmonic bosons are associated with the SU(2) algebra. A vibrational high-temperature partition function and the related thermodynamic functions are...

Molecular thermodynamics for charged biomacromolecules

Significant progress has been made over the past 25–30 years toward understanding the molecular basis of stability and biological functions of proteins and nucleic acids. Electrostatic calculations hold a prominent place among most advanced and popular computational methods to describe the influence of solution conditions on and the precise role played by individual amino acids or atoms in stab...
