Protein MIR phases improved by direct methods

Direct Assay of miR-223, miR-145, and miR-16 by a Novel Method of Mimic PCR in Serum of Breast Cancer Patients

The role of microRNAs (miRs) is shown as a biomarker whose expression level changes have been associated with cancer development and progression. Circulating miRNAs have been postulated as biomarkers for breast cancer. Detection and diagnosis of miRNA markers could provide an improved and sensitive method in the clinical application. In this study, we applied and improved the effective approach...

Advances in direct methods for protein crystallography.

Recent advances in ab initio direct methods have enabled the solution of crystal structures of small proteins from native X-ray data alone, that is, without the use of fragments of known structure or the need to prepare heavy-atom or selenomethionine derivatives, provided that the data are available to atomic resolution. These methods are also proving to be useful for locating the selenium atom...

Improved Function and Maturation of Dendritic Cells Stimulated by Recombinant pp65 Protein: In vitro Design

Identification of multiple mineralization phases by statistical methods

Ore-reserve estimations of deposits with low mineral concentrations, such as those of copper, gold and tin, are usually made on the assumption that the grades follow a lognormal distribution. Multiple mineralization or reworking of a deposit may have modified the simple distribution expected — producing an overall distribution of grades which can be adequately described by a mixture of lognorma...

Synthesis and characterization of Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) micro/nanostructures prepared by improved methods

Nowadays various methods are presented for synthesis of barium strontium titanate (BST) nanopowders with different morphology and properties. Each of these (BST)s has got individual characterization that makes it suitable for a special application. Every method has a special quality, causes it to have preference over the other methods. Low processing temperature is a desired point which most of...
