this paper describes 3d-qsar analysis and biological evaluation of 1,5-benzodiazepine analogues. benzodiazepine nucleus with its simple structure gives a good opportunity for further modification regarding an increase of its antimicrobial activity. we synthesized a series of benzodiazepine analogues from condensation of various chalcones and halo substituted o-phenelynene diamines. all compound...

the aim of radiation therapy treatment planning is to achieve an optimal balance between delivering a high dose to target volume and a low dose to healthy tissues. in order to refrain any complications resulting from the dose to the surrounding normal organs, the role of treatment plan has been critically evaluated in term of how large the volume or mass of normal tissues exposed in the radiati...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of reconstruction and attenuation correction on the differences in the radioactivity distributions in 123I brain SPECT obtained by the hybrid SPECT/CT device. Methods: We used the 3-dimensional (3D) brain phantom, which imitates the precise structure of gray mater, white matter and bone regions. It was filled with 123I solution (20...

molecular understanding of three-dimensional (3d) peptide: mhc models require both basic knowledge of computational modeling and skilled visual perception, which are not possessed by all students. the present model aims to simulate mhc molecular structure with the hands and make a profound impression on the students.

Background: There is limited information on the 3D prediction and modeling of the colistin resistance-associated proteins PmrA/B TCS in Acinetobacter baumannii. We aimed to evaluate the stereochemical structure and domain characterization of PmrA/B in an A. baumannii isolate resistant to high-level colistin, using bioinformatics tools. Methods: The species of the isolate and its susceptibility ...

three dimensional- high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC) is the expanded version of the latest video compression standard, namely high efficiency video coding (HEVC), which is used to compress 3D videos. 3D videos include texture video and depth map. Since the statistical characteristics of depth maps are different from those of texture videos, new tools have been added to the HEVC standard fo...

Objective(s): Nanobodies, the single domain antigen binding fragments of heavy chain-only antibodies occurring naturally in camelid sera, are the smallest intact antigen binding entities. Their minimal size assists in reaching otherwise largely inaccessible regions of antigens. However, their camelid origin raises a possible concern of immunogenicity when used for human therapy. Humanization is...
