Background: At Nottingham University more than 95% of entrants to the traditional 5-year medical course are school leavers. Since 2003 we have admitted graduate entrants (GEM) to a shortened (4-year) course to 'widen access to students from more disadvantaged backgrounds'. We have recently shown that the GEM course widens academic and socio-demographic diversity of the medical student populatio...

seed–storage proteins are important reservoirs of food and energy which are also involved in the determination of bread making quality. solubility properties of these proteins are traditionally classified into four classes: albumin, globulin, prolamin and glutelin. gliadin and glutenin have also been studied extensively and the genetics and biochemistry are relatively well known. grain proteins...

conclusions the results revealed that the novel multi-epitope dna construct could be an effective candidate in tuberculosis vaccine development, and it is qualified to investigate its potential to induce cd4 and cd8 t- cell immune response in the experimental animal model. results mhc class i-and class ii-predicted epitopes showed a high potential to binding to human hlas alleles, with global b...

results primary, secondary, and 3d structure of cchfv gn were obtained and pcr reaction with m13 forward and reverse primers confirmed the generation of recombinant bacmid dna harboring gn coding region under polyhedron promoter. conclusions characterization of the detailed structure of cchfv gn by bioinformatics software provides the basis for development of new experiments and construction of...
