The binding number of a graph G is defined as bind(G) = min |N(S)| |S| , S ∈ F (G) where F (G) = {S ⊆ V (G) : S = ∅ and N(S) = V (G)}. This paper provides some results on the binding numbers of corona and join of graphs and characterize them in terms of independent binding set. Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C69

The reversible binding to fumarase of the competitive inhibitors, tram+aconitate and citrate, and of the natural substrates, fumarate and L-malate, was studied by the method of equilibrium dialysis. The binding of the enol tautomer of oxalacetate, a secondary substrate of fumarase, was measured spectrophotometrically. The results of these studies indicate that there are four substrateor inhibit...

results in this study, 45 (13.4 %) urine samples were positive for candida species (17 males and 28 females). the most common isolated yeast was candida albicans (34%), followed by c. glabrata (32.1%), c. tropicalis (9.4%), other candida species (22.6%), and rhodotorula species (1.9%). the mean serum levels of mbl were 0.85 ± 0.01 ng/ml and 1.02 ± 0.03 ng/ml among candiduric patients and contro...

Curcumin (CUR) is the active curcuminoid with many physiological, biochemical, and pharmacological properties. Solubility and stability of CUR is the limiting factors for realizing its therapeutic potential. Bovine β-casein is an abundant milk protein that is highly amphiphilic and self-assembles into stable micellar nanoparticles in aqueous solution. β-Casein nanoparticle can solubilize CUR mo...

In depth interaction studies between calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (CT-DNA) and a series of four structurally relative palladium(II) complexes [Pd(en)(HB)](NO3)2 (a-d), where en is ethylenediamine and heterocyclic base (HB) is 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, a); 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, b); dipyridoquinoxaline (dpq, c) and dipyridophenazine (dppz, d) (Figure 1), were performed. These studies have b...

One of the most important targets in Alzheimer disease is Beta site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE-1). It is a membrane associated protein and is one of the main enzymes responsible for amyloid β (Aβ) production. Up to now, a considerable number of peptidic and non-peptidic inhibitors of BACE-1 have been developed. Recently, small molecule BACE-1 inhibitors have attracted the...

The binding number of a graph was introduced by D.R.Woodall in 1973 [10] and is defined as the minimum of the ratios | (X)| /|X| taken over all non-empty subsets ofX of vertices inG such that (X) = V (G), where (X) = ∪v∈X (v) and (v) the set of all vertices adjacent to a vertex v in G. We obtain exact values of the binding number of middle graph of cycle, path, complete graph and complete bipar...

Let G = (V1, V2, E) be a balanced bipartite graph with 2n vertices. The bipartite binding number of G, denoted by B(G), is defined to be n if G = Kn,n and mini∈ {1,2} min ∅ =S⊆Vi |N(S)| 3/2 and n ≥ 139, then G is bipancyclic; the bound 3...
