constructing a test to predict the translation performance of english translation ma graduates on legal correspondence and deeds as a profession
regarding the ever evolving and improving world on different aspects of knowledge, the need to a worldwide communication would emerge stronger than ever before which calls for special attention on the judgments and best choices for intermediating between the nations. as the language skills for translation are tested separately from translation skills themselves, to assess translation skills pro...
Molecular Dynamics Simulations on Polymeric Nanocomposite Membranes Designed to Deliver Pipobromane Anticancer Drug
Three chitosan (CS), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposite systems containing SiO2 nanoparticles and water molecules were designed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to deliver pipobromane (PIP) anticancer drug in order to discover the most appropriate drug delivery system (DDS) in aqueous medium which was analogous to the human body. The density for the CS matri...
متن کاملExtracting Conformational Ensembles of Small Molecules from Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Ampicillin as a Test Case
The accurate and exhaustive description of the conformational ensemble sampled by small molecules in solution, possibly at different physiological conditions, is of primary interest in many fields of medicinal chemistry and computational biology. Recently, we have built an on-line database of compounds with antimicrobial properties, where we provide all-atom force-field parameters and a set of ...
متن کاملThe antibiotic and DNA-transfecting peptide LAH4 selectively associates with, and disorders, anionic lipids in mixed membranes.
The histidine-rich amphipathic peptide LAH4 has antibiotic and DNA delivery capabilities. The peptide has a strong affinity for anionic lipids found in the outer membrane of bacterial membranes. A role for anionic lipids in release of cationic plasmid-containing complexes has been proposed previously, and disruption of membrane asymmetry and presentation of phosphatidylserine (PS) in the membra...
متن کاملA comprehensive study of HSA interaction with TMP using molecular docking and molecular dynamics methods: as an appropriate tool for drug delivery systems
Background: Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the most prominent protein in human blood. Trimethoprim (TMP) is an efficient antibiotic drug for treatment of pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). Patients with HIV/AIDS and cancer are extremely affected by the disease due to immune system deficiency. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the molecular dynamics simulation (MD) of HSA with TMP...
