[ 1 ] - In Silico Analysis of Primary Sequence and Tertiary Structure of Lepidium Draba Peroxidase

Peroxidase enzymes are vastly applicable in industry and diagnosiss. Recently, we introduced a new kind of peroxidase gene from Lepidium draba (LDP). According to protein multiple sequence alignment results, LDP had 93% similarity and 88.96% identity with horseradish peroxidase C1A (HRP C1A). In the current study we employed in silico tools to determine, to which group of peroxidase enzymes LDP...

[ 2 ] - Impact of Opium on the Serum Levels of TGF-β in Diabetic, Addicted and Addicted-Diabetic Rats
