Synthetic probes for the study of biological function
نویسنده
چکیده
From its beginnings, organic chemistry has been a partner to biology, often crossing the artificial boundary between the sciences to the benefit of both disciplines. This is even reflected in the use of the adjective “organic” to refer to the chemistry of carbon. As the field has matured, it has continued to address matters of structure and synthesis to increasingly encompass the grand challenge of designing and preparing molecules having a particular function. All three of these come together in the pursuit of new chemical probes for use in chemical biology.

Expression of an Innate Immune Element (Mouse Hepcidin-1) in Baculovirus Expression System and the Comparison of Its Function with Synthetic Human Hepcidin-25
Hepcidin is an innate immune element which decreases the iron absorption from diet and iron releasing from macrophage cell. In contrast to the chemical iron chelators, there has been limited effort applied to the specific use of hepcidin as a new drug for decreasing the iron overload. Hepcidin is produced in different biological systems. For instance, E-coli is used for human hepcidin expressio...

متن کاملRole of ultrasound probes in transmission of hospital infections
Background: The ultrasonography probes are cleaned by absorbent soft, dry cloth. This question arose whether linear and convex ultrasound probes coupling with gel could perform as a means for nosocomial infections transmission, and which method is economical and more efficient for cleaning the probes. This study was conducted to answer these questions. Methods: One hundred – ninety two patients...
