conclusions the growth rate of information in bioinformatics databases could facilitate studies of live organisms prior to observation studies. two different protein classes could be causative agents of one disease. however, two related diseases from one disease group could consist of different protein classes. future research in the field of proteomics could allow modern insight to reshuffling...

antiproliferative protein (app) isolated from conditioned media of two androgen-independent prostatic carcinoma cell lines, pc3 and du-145 was shown to inhibit selectively cell proliferation of androgen-dependent prostate cancer cell line lncap in a dose dependent manner. this protein was further purified with hplc using hydrophobic interaction column (phenyl 5pw) and was used to study the modu...

background: sickle cell disease occurs due to a mutation in β chains and the substitution of valine instead of glutamate in the sixth position of the ß-chain that causes polymerization and vascular blockage. the aim of this study was to compare the serum c, s proteins and factor v leiden between sickle cell patients and the control group. materials and methods: in this case-control study, perfo...

there are two different co-expression systems including bicistronic; dual-vector or two-promoter to express two different genes simultaneously and also to study protein-protein interactions. bicistronic system has disadvantages e.g. compared with two-promoter system. in this paper, a simple method based on spliced overlap extension by polymerase chain reaction (soe-pcr) technique was demonstrat...

conclusions accordingly, it can be concluded that locally low temperatures and acidic conditions are the main suspected reasons for protein misfolding. results based on the study findings the low temperature, 0°c, and acidic condition change the structure more strongly than other mentioned conditions. the low temperature and acidic conditions seem to have the most misfolding effect on insulin s...

background permanent antigenic variation of influenza viruses causes a major concern to develop an effective human influenza vaccine. conserved antigens are new vaccine candidates because it is not necessary to match the prepared vaccine with circulating strains. ion channel m2 protein is conserved among all influenza a viruses, allowing the virus to enter host cells. objectives to prepare an e...

background: prediction of interaction sites within the membrane protein complexes using the sequence data is of a great importance, because it would find applications in modification of molecules transport through membrane, signaling pathways and drug targets of many diseases. nevertheless, it has gained little attention from the protein structural bioinformatics community. methods: in this stu...

results the results showed that sensitivity and specificity were respectively 84.12% and 92% for‎ recombinant protein srs3 and 92% and 96% for rsag1. conclusions recombinant proteins srs3 and rsag1 are promising antigens in diagnostic assays for detection of specific antibodies against t. gondii. background infections by the protozoan parasite toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii) are widely prevalent ...

introduction: normal homeostasis system has several inhibitor mechanisms in front of the amplifier’s natural clotting enzyme to prevent fibrin clots in the vessels. the main inhibitors of coagulation pathway are antithrombin (at), protein c and protein s. patients with hereditary deficiency of coagulation inhibitors are susceptible to venous thromboembolism (vte). one of the major clinical mani...

Recombinant protein purification is a kind of sensitive and expensive method in genetics engineering. Genetic manipulation leads to the expression of various proteins; it should be isolated with high purity finally. Differed methods for protein purification are categorized, based on cast, quality, Easy work and side effect of protein. In this article, we are investigating his His-tag protein pu...
