background: prediction of interaction sites within the membrane protein complexes using the sequence data is of a great importance, because it would find applications in modification of molecules transport through membrane, signaling pathways and drug targets of many diseases. nevertheless, it has gained little attention from the protein structural bioinformatics community. methods: in this stu...

different strains of escherichia coli (e. coli) from human, chickens, and the common strain between human and chickens were isolated and typed with mono-specific antibody. the e. coli strains from each group of human, chicken and common between human and chicken were selected. the polypeptide patterns of selected strains were analyzed and compared with each other by sodium dodecyle sulphate pol...

background: leptospirosis has been recognized as an important reemerging infectious disease caused by pathogenic leptospira spp. a major challenge of this disease is the application of a basic research to improve diagnostic method. outer membrane proteins of leptospira are potential candidates that could be useful in diagnosis. among them the lipl41 is an immunogenic protein which is present on...

The hydrophobic proteins of plant plasma membrane still remain largely unknown.  For example in the Arabidopsis genome, receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are plasma membrane proteins, functioning as the primary receptors in the signaling of stress conditions, hormones and the presence of pathogens form a diverse family of over 610 genes. A limited number of these proteins have appeard in pr...

background and objective: an outer membrane protein (omp) of helicobacter pylori namely oipa, is an important vir- ulence factor associated with peptic ulcer and gastric cancer risks. the purpose of this study was to isolate the 34 kda omp of h. pylori and evaluate its immunogenicity in experimental animals for rapid detection of more virulent h. pylori isolates. material and methods: sarcosine...

the effect of triton x-100, na cholate and tween 80 on the solubilization of integral membrane proteins in intact cells, spheroplasts and inner-membrane fragments of salmonella typhimurium was studied. the detergents were used in various concentrations (1.6 to 64 mm) and cytochromes b and d were used as marker to monitor the solubilization of membrane-bound proteins. results showed that no inne...

The Membrane Proteins (MPs) on the cell membrane, is an ideal target for drug delivery owing to their distinct location membrane and intracellular structure. To locate multitude of MPs with better accuracy, we implemented SVM Benchmark MP Database, MemLoci Dataset. A total 3000 proteins are selected 1000 plasma proteins, internal organelle proteins. amino acid sequence converted into Pseudo Ami...

  Proteases play a key role in protein digestion in ticks and other haematophagous insects. Our understanding of blood meal digestion in digestive system of ticks can be very useful for better understanding of basic rules for control of ticks. Cells of the midgut endocytose blood components. Blood proteins uptake by midgut cells, suggesting the presence of proteases in the midgut cells. In this...
