MgO nanopartticels (NP-MgO) in average size between 30—130 nm were prepared by sonochemistry method. Some phenols have been converted to ortho-hydroxybezaldehyd by ortho-formylation using MgO nanoparticles and (CH2O)n in xylene and subsequently treated with aqueous NH2OH.HCl, affording the corresponding aldoxime in a one-pot procedure. Moreover, this one-pot process, with two transformations, o...

Purification of the n-BuOH fraction of the aqueous alcoholic extract from the roots of Phytolacca americana resulted in the isolation of two triterpene saponins named esculentoside B (1), and esculentoside A (2). The structures of isolated compounds were characterized on the basis of extensive spectral data (1D and 2D NMR; and MS) and in comparison with their Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) an...

Background Sertoli cells located in seminiferous tubular basement membrane and surrounds different types of germ cell and they were only somatic cell type that directly contacts germ cells. These cells have Several role like support activities, nutrition of germ cells.During spermatogenesis, expression of SOX3 is necessary for differentiation of spermatogonia A. SOX3 is a transcription factor, ...

ABSTRACT            Background and Objectives: Halophilic bacteria can grow and survive in environments with a wide range a wide range of salinities. In this study, we aimed to isolate halophilic bacteria from the Meyghan Lake in Arak (Iran) and evaluate their enzymatic activity.            Methods: Samples were taken from four different areas of the lake. Halophilic bacteria were isolated by...

RNA isolation is performed everyday by molecular biologists for a wide range of applications. No matter what protocol is used and how meticulous the user is, a risk to degrade RNA during the process or to carry over contaminants always exists which may affect the reliability of the subsequent analytical techniques. The parameters that are usually checked for quality control include the concentr...

Objective Aspirated ovarian follicular fluids (FF) contain luteal granulosa cells (LGC) and other contaminating cell types. Several strategies such as the antibody binding methods, the flask method, the cell strainer, and the positive selection of granulosa aggregates after density gradient centrifugation, were tested as LGCs purification methods. Each of these strategies has its own advantages...

iranian castor bean lectin was isolated and purified by several column chromatography methods. then, the sugar and amino acid content of the purified lectin was identified. castor bean lectin has some anti tumor and anti leukemia action. thus it may be used commercially for medical and biochemical purposes.
