Background: Several studies reported the clinical features of IgE-mediated hypersensitivity after ingestion of melon. Melon allergy is a common IgE-mediated fruit allergy in Iran. This prompted us to investigate immunochemical and molecular properties of the major allergen in melon fruit, to compare the IgE-binding capacity of the natural protein with the recombinant allergen, and to determine ...

snail is one of the worst causes of food allergy. thus, the aim of this study was to identify the major and minor allergens of the local marine snail ( cerithidea obtusa ) and subsequently to investigate the impacts of heat treatment on the ige-binding activity of snail allergens. proteins from raw and heat-treated snails (boiled, roasted and fried) were extracted and then resolved by sodium do...

mechanism of the binding of lomefloxacin (lmf) with human serum albumin has been studied at physiological ph (7.4) using fluorescence spectroscopic technique. lmf is a third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic that exhibits striking potency against a broad spectrum of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria through inhibition of dna gyrase. lomefloxacin is a drug that is excreted in urine an...

Virus capsid proteins modified with a heparin binding peptide can selectively bind and encapsulate inside protein cage.

human serum albumin (hsa) is the most abundant plasma protein in the human body. hsa plays an important role in drug transport and metabolism. this protein has a high affinity to a very wide range of materials, including metals such as cu2+ and zn2+, fatty acids, amino acids and metabolites such as bilirubin and many drug compounds. in this study, we investigated the effects of co-amoxiclav, as...

soy flour is the least processed form of soy protein products which has become increasingly popular in food technology for its nutritional benefits, low cost and good functional properties. the aim of this study was to investigate functional properties of soy flours produced by four different industrial processes: defatted, defatted and toasted, low fat, and full fat soy flours. because of diff...

the study was conducted to demonstrate expression profile of cold shock protein genes; cold inducible rna binding protein (cirp) and rna binding motif protein 3 (rbm3) in goats (capra hircus) during different seasons to check the gene expression in different thermal conditions. blood samples were collected from healthy goats of tropical and temperate region during peak winter, moderate season a...

Background and objectives: More than 40 different alkaloids have been obtained from opium the most important of which are morphine, codeine, papaverine, noscapine and tabaine. Opioid alkaloids produce analgesia by affecting areas of the brain that have peptides with pharmacological pseudo-opioid properties. These alkaloids show important effects on some intracellular peptides l...
