the κ-casein protein plays a fundamental role in milk production and its composition synthesis in the mammary gland. this protein has an important role in the formation, stabilization, and aggregation of the casein micelles. in this study, we investigated the genetic variability at the exon 4 of the κ-casein gene (also known as csn3) using pcr-sscp analysis and dna sequencing. then a protein se...

the emergence of plasmodium vivax in dashte moghan in northwestern iran has become a major concern for iranian's health officials. knowledge of genetic make up of the p. vivax populations in this area would give us an insight into the origin of the prevalent infections and the possible routes they are introduced. this paper reports the analysis of a variable region between the two interspecies ...

molecular evidence on the heterogeneity present in the ole e 1 allergen of the olive pollen is emerging. such polymorphism is dependent on the cultivar origin of pollen, which also determines wide differences in the expression of this protein. determination of biochemical and molecular characteristics of ole e 1 pollen allergen in two iranian olive cultivars, namely 'rowghani' and 'zard' is nec...

pneumococcal autolysins are enzymes involved in cell wall turnover and cellular division physiologically. they have been found to be involved in the pneumococcus pathogenesis. the aim of this study was to identify the autolytic activity of spr1754 as a novel protein of streptococcus pneumoniae . moreover, the binding of the recombinant protein to plasma proteins was also determined. the spr1754...

The objective of current study was to investigate the effects of whey protein coating on the quality of common kilka during frozen storage period. For this study, common kilka was coated with 12% whey protein concentration. Also, non- coated kilka was used as a control sample. Coated and non-coated samples were then stored at -18 oC for six months. Bacterial, chemical and sensory properties of ...

  The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of whey protein coating on the quality of common Kilka during frozen storage. For this study, common Kilka was coated with 20% whey protein concentration. Non- coated Kilka also was used as a control. Coated and non-coated samples were then stored at -18 °C for six months. Bacterial, chemical and sensory properties of the sampl...

lentiviral vectors are among the promising viral based-vectors in gene therapy applications, but the efficiency of their targeting needs to be improved. (strept)avidin-biotin adaptor system is a novel approach to modify the lentiviral envelope for better targeting properties. herein, we describe utilization of this adaptor system by designing a candidate envelope protein-bearing biotin acceptor...
