Ricin Toxicity: Clinical and Molecular Aspects
Seeds of the castor bean plant Ricinuscommunis L (CB) contain ricin toxin (RT), one of the most poisonous naturally-occurring substances known. Ricin toxin, a water-soluble glycoprotein that does not partition into the oil extract, is a ribosome-inactivating toxin composed of two chains, labeled A and B. Severity of the toxicity varies depending on the route of exposure to the toxin. Inhalation...
متن کاملStructural aspects and design of low-molecular-mass complement inhibitors.
We present a mini-review on the structure-based design of three promising complement inhibitors. Firstly, we review compstatin, a 13-residue cyclic peptide that binds to C3 and inhibits the cleavage of C3 to C3a and C3b. Secondly, we review a six-residue cyclic peptide that binds to C5aR and antagonizes the binding of C5a to its receptor C5aR. Finally, we review three small molecules that bind ...
متن کاملMolecular and genetic aspects of odontogenic tumors: a review
Odontogenic tumors contain a heterogeneous collection of lesions that are categorized from hamartomas to benign and malignant neoplasms of inconstant aggressiveness. Odontogenic tumors are usually extraordinary with assessed frequency of short of 0.5 cases/100,000 population for every year. The lesions such as odontogenic tumors are inferred from the components of the tooth-structuring contrapt...

The purpose of this study was identification and epidemiology of dermatophytosis in patients referring to medical mycology laboratory of Razi hospital in Tehran, during 2014. Materials and Me...
متن کاملStructural Plasticity in Human Heterochromatin Protein 1β
As essential components of the molecular machine assembling heterochromatin in eukaryotes, HP1 (Heterochromatin Protein 1) proteins are key regulators of genome function. While several high-resolution structures of the two globular regions of HP1, chromo and chromoshadow domains, in their free form or in complex with recognition-motif peptides are available, less is known about the conformation...
