Several nonpeptide small molecules were designed as potential inhibitors of HIV protease and their structures were constructed by computer-aided molecular modeling and docked iwo the active site of HIV protease. Models of the complexes of inhibitors and the HIV protease were refined using nonbonded and H-bonding terms. The refined energy of selected complexes showed that the designed inhib...

Harvester ants are known as one of the most renowned bio-disturbances in the arid and semi-arid ecosystems that affecte vegetation by collecting seeds and harvesting plants. It seems that physiognomy of plant association in steppe shrub land of Roodshoor, Saveh, Iran has been highly changed by harvester ants’ activities that caused to conduct this research. The study was carried out on active a...

objective(s): vinblastine is antimitotic, anticancer medicine that disturbs normal microtubule formation and favours depolymerisation. structural study and finding the active site of vinblastine are the targets of this research.   materials and methods: vinblastine was optimized in vacuum and then in different solvents by density functional theory (dft) method. nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) ...

We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for active site of oxidized ayurin Azurin is classified to atype I copper protein with ET functionality. We have computed NMR shielding tensor at .133LYP and IDlevels by usum 6-3IG basis set in the gas phase and in different solvents such as water, HMSO,Nitromethane, methanol, ethanol, acetone ,dicholoroethane. These solvents represent a wide range of...

Arthrobotrysamerospora (ATCC 34468) produced glucoamylase in a semi-synthetic medium containing starch as a sole carbon source. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of crude glucoamylase showed three isoenzymes. They were designated as glu I, glu II and glu III according to their electrophoretic mobility. These iso-glucoamylases were purified by column chromatography using DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The...
