Evolution game : which came first , the receptor or the ligand ?

چکیده
On the basis of a bioinformatic approach, we suggest that in invertebrates many ligands interact with a single, ancestral and generalized receptor driving ligand evolution. In vertebrates, on the other hand, the occurrence of gene/genome duplications induced the shift to a ligand-directed evolution of receptors.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSH-R) autoantibodies are the main cause of Graveschr('39') disease and its external thyroid manifestations such as ophtalmopathy and dermatopathy. These antibodies are functionally different and are commonly called TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs). In fact, TRAbs are a set of autoantibodies including TSHR-stimulating antibodies (TSAbs), TSHR- blocking antib...
متن کاملCooperative network flow problem with pricing decisions and allocation of benefits: A game theory approach
Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...
متن کاملMolecular docking and in silico ADME prediction of Ticagrelor as an antagonist of the P2Y12 receptor
The purpose of the present research work is prediction of electronic and physico-chemical properties of the novel medicinal compound Ticagrelor (AZD6140) using density functional theory (DFT) method. Firstly, its molecular structure was optimized at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set of theory at room temperature. The global reactivity indices used to study the reactivity and stability of the title ...
