Phasins are a particularly fascinating class of small-molecular weight proteins that the dominant surrounding bioplastic granules produced by bacteria, called polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). PHAs biopolymers interest since their thermomechanical properties comparable to petroleum-based plastics, they biodegradable, biocompatible, and can be from renewable bioresources. As design development susta...

Background: Analysis of many proteins produced during the transition into the stationary phase and under stress conditions (including starvation stress) demonstrated that a number of novel proteins were induced in common to each stress and could be the reason for cross-protection in bacterial cells. It is necessary to investigate the synthesis of these proteins during different stress condition...

Objective: Oxidative stress that damages proteins result in aging and age related diseases. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) on the expression of proteins in oxidative stress-induced caenohabditis elegans (C.elegans) which has homologous genes to humans. Methods: The worms were treated with TRF prior to, after and continuously in separate group...

The common aggregation of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) in solution is the critical obstacle to elucidate their unique physico-chemical characteristics and biological properties. Therefore, it is very important to overcome this barrier through manipulation of the weak interaction of small molecules with nanotube surface limited interface. A highly dispersed SWCNT system was achieved by bi...

Background: MicroRNA deregulation may occur during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) genesis and progression stages. MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) functions as a tumor suppressor and is down-regulated or silenced in a variety of human cancers, while heat shock proteins (Hsps) play important roles in assisting protein folding and preventing both protein aggregation and transport across membranes. The pres...
