چکیده

The comparison of the three-dimensional shapes of protein molecules poses a complex algorithmic problem. Its solution provides biologists with computational tools to organize the rapidly growing set of thousands of known protein shapes, to identify new types of protein architecture, and to discover unexpected evolutionary relations, reaching back billions of years, between protein molecules. Protein shape comparison also improves tools for identifying gene functions in genome databases by defining the essential sequence-structure features of a protein family. Finally, an exhaustive all-on-all shape comparison provides a map of physical attractor regions in the abstract shape space of proteins, with implications for the processes of protein folding and evolution.

Mapping of TP53 protein network using cytoscape software

TP53 acts as a tumor suppressor in cancer. It induces cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to cellular stress and damage. p53 gene alteration could cause uncontrolled cell proliferation.In the present study, we used TP53 gene as the seed in the construction of a protein-protein functional association network to identify genes that might involve in tumorgenesis process with TP53. TP53 prot...

The Qur’an and Mysticism On The Universe of Two Sides

The universe has an exterior known as the material world and an interior called the “hereafter.” So are the Qur’an and mankind. In other words, the universe, mankind and the Qur’an have hierarchical stages. The universe and mankind comprise the physical world, but the Qur’an constitutes the Divine Law. Since the origin of all three is one single source, one can say the former matches t...

Journeying the Redshift Desert

The cosmic star formation rate, AGN activity, galaxy growth, mass assembly and morphological differentiation all culminate at redshift ∼ 2. Yet, the redshift interval 1.4<∼z<∼3 is harder to explore than the closer and the more distant Universe. In spite of so much action taking place in this spacetime portion of the Universe, it has been dubbed the Redshift Desert, as if very little was happeni...

Key Genes Involved in Wheat Response to Salinity Stress and Mapping their Gene Network

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Considering the importance of salinity in wheat and the multigene nature of this trait, the present study was conducted to investigate the expression of key genes involved in the response of wheat to this stress and to create their network. Material and Methods: In this study, the expression of key genes (HKT, DREB, bZIP, NAC, and WARKY) involved...

Intensity Mapping of H Α , H Β , [ Oii ] and [

Intensity mapping is now becoming a useful tool to study the large-scale structure of the universe through spatial variations in the integrated emission from galaxies and the intergalactic medium. We study intensity mapping of the Hα 6563Å, [OIII] 5007Å, [OII] 3727Å and Hβ 4861Å lines at 0.8 ≤ z ≤ 5.2. The mean intensities of these four emission lines are estimated using the observed luminosity...
