conclusions according to our result, 1525g/a and 1595c/t were in strong linkage disequilibrium and the polymorphisms of the trail gene in the 3’ utr region were not associated with the outcome of hbv infection. results our data showed that genotypes 1525g/a and 1595c/t were in complete linkage disequilibrium and the genotype frequencies at the two positions were the same. no significant differe...

the antidiuretic effect of arginine vasopressin (avp) is mediated by the vasopressin v2 receptor. the docking study of avp as a ligand to v2 receptor helps in identifying important amino acid residues that might be involved in avp binding for predicting the lowest free energy state of the protein complex. whereas previous researchers were not able to detect the exact site of the ligand-receptor...

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of TNF family, is an interesting ligand which selectively induces apoptosis in tumor cells and, therefore, it has been developed for cancer therapy. This ligand has been produced by various hosts such as E.coli. However, protein expression in E.coli cytoplasm leads to problems such as incorrect folding, reduction in biolo...

Molecular farming has been considered as a secure and economical approach for production of biopharmaceuticals. Human TNF Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) as a promising biopharmaceutical candidate has been produced in different expression hosts. However, little attention has been paid to molecular farming of the TRAIL in spite of numerous advantages of plant expression systems. Theref...
