The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

grasses are natural homogenous group of plants and belong to the gramineae family (poaceae). the value of grasses to mankind has been recognized since the dawn of human civilization and culture of cereal grasses. in the present study, leptochloa uniflora hochst (poaceae) was subjected to antioxidant and phytochemical profiles using uv-vis, ftir and hptlc. antioxidant assays were studied using d...

background & aim: in the present research, we investigated phytochemical characteristics of two important species of verbascum genus. enormous reconnaissance and field surveys were conducted to identify the most important natural habitats of verbascum species in kohgiluyeh va buyerahmad province, southern iran. experimental: the aerial parts of verbascum songaricum and v.  cheirantifolium w...

medicinal plants are a source of great economic value all over the world. nature has bestowed on us a very rich botanical wealth and large number of diverse types of plants grows in different parts of the country. in this study the in vitro antimicrobial activity of crude ethanolic, methanolic and water extracts of the stem bark of o.basilicum were investigated. the extracts exhibited antimicro...

spatio-temporal variability of throughfall (tf) has an important role on the biogeochemical processes,soil, watershed hydrology as well as the nutrient cycle in forests. spatial distribution and temporalstability of tf patterns by five individual persian oak trees (quercus brantii var. persica) in thezagros forests of western iran, ilam, was quantified. sixteen tf manual gauges were placed bene...

cancer is still one of the major causes of mortality in both developing and developed countries. at this time, in spite of intensive interventions, a large number of patients have poor prognosis. therefore, the effort for finding new anticancer agents with better efficacy and lesser side effects has continued. according to the traditional recommendations and experimental studies, numerous medic...
