background: meict is the first chlorotoxin-like peptide isolated from the iranian scorpion mesobuthus eupeus. chlorotoxin (ctx) is a neurotoxin that specially binds to (mmp-2) on ma-lignant cells and now is used in treatment of glioma. in the present study, we have used homology modeling to propose the 3d structure of meictand analyze its interaction with mmp-2 and its snp types. methods:the st...

Objective(s): Infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been a long-standing obstacle for clinical therapy due to the complexity of the genetics and pathogenesis, as well for widespread resistance to antibiotics, thus attaching great importance to explore effective vaccines for prevention and treatment. This paper focuses on the introduction of novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa type IV pili (T4P)-ba...

conclusions the current meta-analysis showed an association between frequency of gg genotype of pnpla3 and the risk of development of chc in various populations throughout the world. results five hospital-based case-control studies were included in the final analysis. the overall frequency of pnpla3 gene polymorphisms was 20.4% (205/1005) in chc and 10.23% (53/518) in controls. the summary odds...

the analysis of geochemical data in frequency domain, as indicated in this research study, can provide new exploratory informationthat may not be exposed in spatial domain. to identify deep geochemical anomalies, sulfide zone and geochemical noises in dalli cu–au porphyry deposit, a new approach based on coupling fourier transform (ft) and principal component analysis (pca) has beenused. the re...

the expression of endoglucanase gene and protein profile belonging to two fungal species, penicillium oxalicum 1sms and trichoderma viride 156ms with high cellulase enzyme activity, was investigated. fungal isolates were cultured on inducer cmc medium and then the amount of released sugar and protein were assayed every three days for a month, using arsenate molybdatereagent and bradford method,...
