Function prediction of a newly extracted protein from a newly extracted lassa virus gene

Characterization of Nucleoprotein Extracted from Human Influenza A Virus Cultured in Two Different Cell Lines

Background and Aims: Influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP) has the capacity to be used as subunit vaccine, but little is known about the impact of different cultures on its structure. In the present study we aimed to evaluate and compare the Isoelectric focusing (IEF) property of extracted viral nucleoproteins derived from Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line and embryonated chicken eggs (EC...

Isolation and Identification of a Sulfide/Sulfoxide Monooxygenase Gene from a Newly Isolated Rhodococcus Sp. Strain FMF

Rhodococcus FMF is a gram-positive bacterium isolated for the first time from soil samples of Tabriz refinery in Iran. This microorganism is able to catabolize dibenzothiophene to 2-hydroxybiphenyl and inorganic sulfur without the destruction of carbon-carbon bonds. Three structural genes, dszA, dszB, and dszC have been characterized and shown to be responsible for this phenotype. In this work,...

Characterization of a histone-like protein extracted from yeast mitochondria.

Analysis of proteins isolated by affinity chromatography on DNA-cellulose from highly purified yeast mitochondria shows that these organelles do not contain histones but have in abundance a DNA-binding protein of 20,000 daltons. The purification yield of this protein, called HM, indicates that mitochondria have at least an equal mass of HM relative to DNA. The amino acid composition and its ele...

Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Newly Opened Window

Protein Interactions Extracted from Genomes and Papers

To assess the feasibility of extracting protein interactions from text we have recently organized the BIOCREATVE II challenge (http://biocreative.sourceforge.net) in collaboration with the MINT and INTACT databases. The competition was divided in four sub-tasks: a) ranking of publications by their relevance on experimental determination of protein interactions, b) detection of protein interacti...
