[ 1 ] - In silico mutational analysis and identification of stability centers in human interleukin-4
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a critical role in apoptosis, differentiation and proliferation. The intensity of IL4 response depends upon binding to its receptor, IL-4R. The therapeutic efficiency of interleukins can be increased by generating structural mutants having greater stability. In the present work, attempts were made to increase the stability of human I...
[ 2 ] - Computational prediction of miRNAs in Nipah virus genome reveals possible interaction with human genes involved in encephalitis
Current re-emergence of Nipah virus (NiV) in India caused 11 deaths so far and many patients were kept in quarantine. A thorough study of previous outbreaks occurred in Malaysia, Bangladesh and India represents cases with high rate of fatality due to acute encephalitis. Our work involves genome analysis of NiV for prediction of miRNAs and their targeted genes in human in order to understand enc...
[ 3 ] - Genome-wide computational prediction of miRNAs in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) revealed target genes involved in pulmonary vasculature and antiviral innate immunity
The current outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)in China threatened humankind worldwide. The coronaviruses contains the largest RNA genome among all other known RNA viruses, therefore the disease etiology can be understood by analyzing the genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we used an ab-intio based computational tool VMir to scan the complete geno...
[ 4 ] - Deciphering the functional role of hypothetical proteins from Chloroflexus aurantiacs J-10-f1 using bioinformatics approach
Chloroflexus aurantiacus J-10-f1 is an anoxygenic, photosynthetic, facultative autotrophic gram negative bacterium found from hot spring at a temperature range of 50-60°C. It can sustain itself in dark only if oxygen is available thereby exhibiting a dark orange color, however display a dark green color when grown in sunlight. Genome of the organism contains total of 3853 proteins out ...
