backgroud: protein-protein interaction, plays a key role in signal transduction in signaling pathways. different approaches are used for prediction of these interactions including experimental and computational approaches. in conventional node-edge protein-protein interaction networks, we can only see which proteins interact but ‘structural networks’ show us how these proteins interact which ca...

background: in vitro simulation of developmental processes is an invaluable tool to shed light on the intrinsic mechanism of developmental biosystems such as central nervous system in mammals. chick somites have been used to simulate the neural differentiation of human neural progenitor cells. in the present study, we aimed to indicate whether somites have the ability to express required neural...

we have studied the changes in protein-protein interaction network of 38 different tissues of the human body. 123 gene expression samples from these tissues were used to construct human protein-protein interaction network. this network is then pruned using the gene expression samples of each tissue to construct different protein-protein interaction networks corresponding to different studied ti...

Interference with microtubule polymerization results in cell cycle arrest leading to cell death. Colchicine is a well-known microtubule polymerization inhibitor which does so by binding to a specific site on tubulin. A set of 3',4'-bis (substituted phenyl)-4'H-spiro[indene-2,5'-isoxazol]-1(3H)-one derivatives with known antiproliferative activities were evaluated for their tubulin binding modes...

The ongoing genomics and proteomics efforts have helped identify many new genes and proteins in living organisms. However, simply knowing the existence of genes and proteins does not tell us much about the biological processes in which they participate. Many major biological processes are controlled by protein interaction networks. A comprehensive description of protein-protein interactions is ...

a sweet water-soluble protein that reminds stable over wide ranges of temperature and ph, brazzein has various applications. its tastes like cane sugar but have no calories. however, the extraction of brazzein from its natural source is expensive and not applicable. in this study we used recombinant dna technology to provide an alternative option for cheaper mass production of brazzein. a brazz...
