[ 1 ] - Molecular Docking and Rare Codons Evaluation in the Luciola Lateralis luciferase, an in Silico Study
Luciferase enzymes are involved in the bioluminescence reaction (light emission by living organisms). The bioluminescence process is a widespread phenomenon in the Nature. These enzymes are identified in some domains of life, but the luciferases from lampyrid genus are considered of for biological applications. The molecular cloning of a new type of firefly luciferase from Luciola lateralis was...
[ 2 ] - کلونینگ و بهینه سازی کدون ژن فنیل آلانین دهیدروژناز در سیستم بیانی E.coli و مقایسه بیان ژن با دو پروموتور T7 و λPR
Abstract Background: This study was performed on the base of importance of phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) in the outbreak of phenylketonuria (PKU). In order for PKU screening one of the medical applications of enzyme is, identifying and quantifying the exact amount of L-phe in blood serum. The research question was whether the level of protein expression changes after optimization of codon...
[ 3 ] - In Silico Analysis of Glutaminase from Different Species of Escherichia and Bacillus
Background: Glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.2) catalyzes the hydrolytic degradation of L-glutamine to L-glutamic acid and has been introduced for cancer therapy in recent years. The present study was an in silico analysis of glutaminase to further elucidate its structure and physicochemical properties.Methods: Forty glutaminase protein sequences from different species of Escherichia and Bacillus obtained...
