Probing the Probabilistic Effects of Imperfections on the Load Carrying Capacity of Flat Double-Layer Space Structures

Load carrying capacity of flat double-layer space structures majorly depends on the structures' imperfections. Imperfections in initial curvature, length, and residual stress of members are all innately random and can affect the load-bearing capacity of the members and consequently that of the structure. The double-layer space trusses are susceptible to progressive collapse due to sudden buckli...

Probing of the Interaction Between Human Serum Albumin and A New Synthesized Pd(II) Complex Using Spectroscopic Methods

Human serum albumin (HSA) is an abundant, multifunctional and nonglycosylated negatively charged plasma protein. HSA ascribed ligand-binding and transport properties, antioxidant functions and enzymatic activities. In the present study, the interaction and side effects of a new designed anti-cancer compound (1,10-phenanthroline butyl dithiocarbamato palladium(II) nitrate) on HSA have been inves...

A STUDY ON ULTRASTRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF SEED DORMANCY IN WILD OATS

The structural differences between  dormant and nondormant seeds of wild oats (Avena ludoviciana Durieu) were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. Radial elongation of  scutellum epithelial cells were observed in nondormant seeds after imbibition, compared with dormant seeds in which cells were completely compressed. Ultrastructural differences for example, dilution of cytopla...

P-102: Evaluation of G6PDH Enzyme Activity in GV Oocytes Cytoplasm to Recompense The Effects of Vitrification Process

Background: Process of oocyte freezing, seriously damages the molecular structure of the oocyte into the life and impair its ability to develop. It seems Oocytes can partially recompense those damages. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) constitutes the major source of NADPH required for the neutralization of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) is the first ...

Probing Conformational Feature of a Recombinant Pyruvate Kinase by Limited Proteolysis

Pyruvate kinase is a key enzyme in glycolytic pathway that catalyzes the transphosphorylation between phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to yield ATP and Pyruvate. Geobacillus stearothermophillus has a stable pyruvate kinase with determined crystal structure that composed of four separate domains. Given that limited proteolysis experiments can be successfully used to probe conformational features of p...

PROBING THE ACTIVE SITE OF RHODANESE WITH DISULFIDE REAGENTS
