Biochemical reactions form large and complex networks. Comprehensible visual representations of these networks help biochemists understand the relationships between the chemical components. Typically pathway diagrams are manually produced drawings. Because of the steady progress of knowledge and the complex relationships in these networks, automatic visualizations are necessary. BioPath is a sy...

background: metabolically obese normal-weight (monw) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (bmi) lower than +1sd with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. this study wants to determine prevalence of monw, metabolically benign normal weight (mbnw), metabolically abnormality obese (mao) and compare the components of metaboli...

This review article is an overview of the current state of the development of biochemical flip-flop memory systems for use with biocomputing. Of particular interest are those developed using chemical and biochemical systems and components, capable of the complete integration into existing biocomputing information processing systems. The integration of memory systems with sophisticated logic “ma...

HE biochemical genetics of carotenoid pigments has been studied in the T tomato ( LEROSEN et al. 1941 ; MACKINNEY and JENKINS 1949 ; PORTER and LINCOLN 1950), corn (MANGELSDORF and FRAPS 1931) and red yeast (BONNER et al. 1946). HAXO (1949) worked out the carotenoid components of the wild type Neurospora. The present paper deals with genetic and biochemical studies of a modifier system for pigm...

In two decades, the study of circadian rhythms in cyanobacteria has gone from observations of phenomena in intractable species to the development of a model organism for mechanistic study, atomic-resolution structures of components, and reconstitution of a circadian biochemical oscillation in vitro. With sophisticated biochemical, biophysical, genetic, and genomic tools in place, the circadian ...

mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is an important respiratory pathogen of sheep across the world. in the present study nasal swab samples (n=778) were processed and 51isolates of m. ovipneumoniae were identified through biochemical tests and pcr. difference in the isolation rate among districts (n=12), age groups (n=3), breads (n=6) was assessed. similarly the isolate rate among healthy (n=513) and resp...

Biochemical reaction systems may be viewed as discrete event processes characterized by a number of states and state transitions. These systems may be modeled as state transition systems with transitions representing individual reaction events. Since they often involve a large number of interactions, it can be difficult to construct such a model for a system, and since the resulting state-level...

The venomous fish-hunting cone snails (Conus) comprise eight distinct lineages evolved from ancestors that preyed on worms. In this article, we attempt to reconstruct events resulting in this shift in food resource by closely examining patterns of behavior, biochemical agents (toxins) that facilitate prey capture and the combinations of toxins present in extant species. The first sections intro...

introduction: cupping therapy (hejamat) is one of the therapeutic methods used in traditional medicine that it is still common in many of the contemporary societies. in spite of the progress of science, we have less information on the traditional and alternative medicine including cupping.   with the study of mechanism of action of cupping, it will be more convincing for the traditional medicin...

• Absorbance of visible and near infrared (400–2500 nm) radiation by plant material is determined primarily by biochemical and structural components. We used three multivariate techniques to explore the spectral differences among dried, ground foliage samples of two conifer species from different montane growth environments (three elevations and two crown positions on three different mountains)...
