objective: recently, phage display libraries have received enormous attention for identification and isolation of pharmaceutical molecules with diagnostic and therapeutic properties. peptide libraries are known as one of the most important and widely used types of phage display libraries. in the current study, we aimed to screen the ph.d.tm-7 phage display peptide library through biopanning for...

two newly-created water-soluble complexes of palladium(ii)/platinum(ii)-dithiocarbamate, [pd/pt(phen)(pyr-dtc)]no3 (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and pyr-dtc = pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) were synthesized. also, their chemical characteristics are reported in the current research paper. in these complexes, the dithiocarbamato ligand coordinates to pt(ii) or pd(ii) center with two sulfur atoms as bi...

Protein specific aptamers are highly applicable affinity ligands in different fields of research and clinical applications. They have been developed against various targets, in particular, bio-macromolecules such as proteins. Among human proteins, the coagulation factors are the most attractive targets for aptamer selection and their specific aptamers had valuable characteristics in therapeutic...

neurokinin 1 receptors (nk1r) are overexpressed on several types of important human cancer cells. substance p (sp) is the most specific endogenous ligand known for nk1rs. accordingly, a new sp analogue was synthesized and evaluated for detection of nk1r positive tumors. [6-hydrazinopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (hynic)-tyr8-met(o)11-sp] was synthesized and radiolabeled with 99mtc using ethylenedia...

Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) is a member of the lipid binding protein family, members of which have a clam shell type of motif formed by two five-stranded beta-sheets. Understanding the folding mechanism of these proteins has been hindered by the presence of an unresolved burst phase. By initiating the reaction with a sub-millisecond mixer and following its progression by Trp f...
