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...

white spot syndrome virus (wssv) is a highly pathogenic and prevalent virus affecting shrimp culture worldwide including iran. in the present study, a pair of primers was designed according to the sequence of vp 28 gene of wssv in the genbank. vp28 gene from an iranian wssv isolate (irvp28) was cloned, sequenced and expressed in escherichia coli bl21(de3) strain in order to produce vp28 protein...

Background: Conventional anti-cancer treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc., are linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and have negative effects on healthy tissues. Objectives: The flow cytometry technique was used in this study to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified anti-cancer peptide in treating the AGS gastric cancer cell line. Methods: This study used ...

background: approximately 85-90% of malaria infections in iran are attributed to plasmodium vivax , while little is known about the genetic of the parasite and its strain types in this region. this study was designed and performed for describing genetic characteristics of plasmodium vivax population of iran based on the merozoite surface protein-3α gene sequence. methods: through a descriptive ...

micronemes are secretory organelles of the invasive stages of apicomplexan parasites and contain proteins that are important for parasite motility and host cell invasion. even though coccidiosis is a complex disease that can be caused by any combination of mainly seven species, most of the molecular researches concerning characterization of host and parasite genes and proteins have been limited...

Researchers added 200 million DNA base pairs and 115 protein-coding genes — but they’ve yet to entirely sequence the Y chromosome.
