background pe5 is a member of the pe protein family whose precise function is yet to be understood. there are about 100 members of the pe family proteins in mycobacterium tuberculosis. these glycine- and alanine-rich proteins consist of proline-glutamate motifs at their n-termini and may be implicated in pathogenesis of the bacilli. objectives we aimed to clone and over-express the rv0285 codin...

Drought is one of the most important factors limiting crop yields around the world. Drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. This research was carried out using bread wheat genotypes. For evaluation of leaf protein pattern in wheat, 10 genotypes were assayed with 3 replications under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fed (stress) conditions....

Creatinine amidohydrolase(EC 3.5.2.10) catalyzes the reversible conversion of creatinine to creatine. Creatininase in combination with other enzymes is used for detection of creatinine in serum and urine which is of significant value for detection of renal, muscular and thyroid functions. The aim of this study was to produce recombinant creatininase enzyme in E.coli expression system to use it ...

Abstract Background and Aims: Influenza A(H5N1) viruses  circulating in animals might evolve and acquire the ability to spread from  human to human and thus start a pandemic. Hemagglutinin (HA) has been shown to play a major role in binding of influenza virus to its target cell and the main neutralizing antibody responses elicit against this region. Recent studies have shown that...

  Introduction: Omp31 is animmunodominant and protective antigen conserved in Brucella species and a good candidate for vaccine design. Material & methods: The present study aimed at in silico design of the truncated Omp31 (TOmp31) using bioinformatic tools and to express the selected form in Escherichia coli (E. coli) Results and conclusion: Various bioinformatically calculated scores for the ...

background: the purpose of this comparative study was to detect superoxide dismutase (sod) activities in fasciola hepatica, f. gigantica parasites, infected and healthy liver tissues in order to determine of species effects and liver infection on sods activity level. methods: fasciola spp. parasites and sheep liver tissues (healthy and infected liver tissues), 10 samples for each, were collecte...

Proteins play an imperative role in enhancing the nutritional status of human body. The present study was designed to determine molecular weight protein isolates prepared from defatted oilseeds, i.e., sesame, flaxseed, and canola, using SDS-PAGE. electropherogram revealed bands ranging 15 65 kDa. Furthermore, proteins were subjected amino acid profiling followed by calculation score with refere...
