Study of Photoinduced Interaction between Calf Thymus-DNA and Bovine Serum Albumin Protein with H2Ti3O7 Nanotubes

Hydrogen titanate nanotubes were synthesized by hydrothermal process using 10 M NaOH and TiO2 anatase powder. The material synthesized was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to ensure the structural and morphological characteristics. The interaction of calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin protein w...

Bovine enterovirus as an oncolytic virus: foetal calf serum facilitates its infection of human cells.

Many viruses have been investigated for their oncolytic properties and potential use as therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. Most of these replication-competent viruses are human pathogens. We investigated the oncolytic properties of an animal virus which is non pathogenic for both its natural host and humans. Bovine enterovirus has previously been shown to exhibit a very wide tissue tropis...

Fas-mediated apoptosis is suppressed by calf serum in cultured bovine luteal cells.

Calf serum (CS) is a common supplement used in cell culture. It has been suggested that CS contains substances protecting cells against apoptosis. To examine whether a culture system including CS is appropriate for studying apoptosis in bovine luteal cells, we examined the influence of CS on the expression of Fas, bcl-2 and bax gene. Since progesterone (P(4)) is known to be an anti-apoptotic fa...

SPECTROSCOPIC EVALUATION OF THE INTERACTION OF A TETRAZOLE DERIVATIVE SYNTHESIZED BY SEMI-GREEN METHOD WITH CALF THYMUS DNA AND BOVINE SERUM PROTEIN

Background & Aims: In recent decades, the application of tetrazole structures in various fields of medicine and industry has become very important, because they can cause structural and thus functional changes in the proteins. In this article, the effect of a new tetrazole derivative on calf thymus DNA (Ct-DNA) as well as on bovine serum albumin protein (BSA) in the solution was determined usin...
