Bacterial redox protein azurin (azurin for short, or Az) belongs to a class of copper-containing proteins known as cupredoxins. We report here our detailed studies and findings on prospects for application of Az for treatment of cancer through various approaches of nanotechnology. We first present the structure and characteristics of Az protein molecule, its electronic properties and its electr...

Know a day’s Computer system become essential and it is most commonly used in every field of life. The computer saves time and use to solve complex and extensive problem quickly in an efficient way. For this purpose, software programs are develop to facilitate the works for administrator, offices, banks etc. so Quality is the most important factor as it mostly defines CUSTOMER SATISFACTION whic...

Antizyme (AZ) is a protein with 228 amino acid residues that regulates ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) by binding to ODC and dissociating its homodimer, thus inhibiting its enzyme activity. Antizyme inhibitor (AZI) is homologous to ODC, but has a higher affinity than ODC for AZ. In this study, we quantified the biomolecular interactions between AZ and ODC as well as AZ and AZI to identify functio...

An alphabet A is a finite set of letters. A word is a finite sequence of letters. Denote the set of words by A+. For a word u = u1u2 · · ·un ∈ A+, |u| is called the length of u. For each letter a, we denote by |u|a the number of occurrence of a in u. Full Shifts. Let AZ be the set of all biinfinite sequences of alphabets from A, i.e. AZ = {x = (xi)i∈Z : xi ∈ A, ∀i ∈ Z}. Consider a shifting oper...

Both ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and its regulatory protein, antizyme inhibitor (AZI), can bind with antizyme (AZ), but the latter has a higher AZ-binding affinity. The results of this study clearly identify the critical amino acid residues governing the difference in AZ-binding affinities between human ODC and AZI. Inhibition experiments using a series of ODC mutants suggested that residues ...
