Objective(s) The aim of this study was to characterize the hepatitis B virus surface protein genotypes and sequence variations among hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) positive chronic patients in Hormozgan province, south of Iran. Materials and Methods A total of 8 patients enrolled in this study. The surface gene was amplified and directly sequenced. Genotypes and nucleotide/amino a...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of substitution soybean meal (SBM) with canola meal (CM) and formulated diets based on total and digestible amino acid on performance, egg quality, organs weight and blood parameters of laying hens from 73 to 83 weeks of age. A total of 128 laying hens were distributed by completely randomized design in a 2×2 factorial arrangement with 2 protein ...

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the hepatitis B virus surface Ag (HBsAg) genotypes and variations in the clinical/serological pictures among HBsAg positive chronic patients from South Khorasan province of Iran. Methods: Twenty-five patients were enrolled in this study. The HBs Ag gene was amplified and was directly sequenced. Genotypes and nuc...

pistacia khinjuk (stocks) is a native species that, along with p. atlantica, is widely distributed from eastern to western iran through the makran zone, zagros mountains and the sanandaj-sirjan zone, ranging from 50 to 3300 m above sea level. the identification of resistance gene analogs holds great promise for developing resistant plants. a pcr approach with degenerate primers designed from co...

The proximate composition, amino acids and fatty acids composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Richardson, 1846), were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but the lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher...

this study describes the effects of different stocking densities on texture/colour characteristics, protein content /amino acid and lipid content/fatty acid composition of rainbow trout fillet.stocking density was selected 5 (group a), 15 (group b), 25 (group c) kg fish m−3.tukey’s multiple comparison test showed insignificant differences between measured size/weight measurement and condition fac...

Isoelectric solubilization /precipitation (ISP) process was used to isolate protein from muscles of Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782). Fish protein and lipid were recovered from whole gutted Prussian carp using acidic and basic isoelectric solubilization/precipitation followed by assaying amino acid and fatty acid profile. Essential amino acids content in acidic and basic pH treatm...

in this report, we describe a procedure for in-silico design of a novel haloalkane dehalogenase protein that exhibits luciferase property which can be potentially used in biosensor applications. from a pdb blast search, the selected haloalkane dehalogenase (pdb code: 1ede) had a close structural homology with a lucifearse (pdb code: 2psj chain a) sharing an identity of 33%. initially, the amino...
