[ 1 ] - Organophosphate compounds and their biodegradation; using enzymes as an increased efficiency approach
Organophosphorus compounds are widely used in pesticides, insecticides in agriculture and as nervous chemical agents. These chemicals inhibit the acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity that is responsible for the nervous impulse in organisms. This effect leads to an increase in acetylcholine level and finally neuronal complications. Many methods are used to degrade and decontaminate these compou...
[ 2 ] - Bioinformatics prediction and experimental validation of VH antibody fragment interacting with Neisseria meningitidis factor H binding protein
Objective(s): We previously conducted an in silico research on the interactions between the ribosome display-selected single chain variable fragment (scFv) and factor H binding protein (fHbp) of Neisseria meningitidis. We found that heavy chain variable (VH) fragment of this scFv had considerable affinity to fHbp. These results led us to evaluate the ability of this sm...
