The Rho family of small GTPases represent well characterized signaling molecules that regulate many cellular functions such as actin cytoskeletal arrangement and the cell cycle by acting as molecular switches. A Rac1-GDP-Zn complex has been crystallized in space group P3(2)21 and its crystal structure has been solved at 1.9 A resolution. These trigonal crystals reveal the unexpected ability of ...

In this study, complexes of manganese (II) and zinc(II) with ligands (salicylic acid cysteine) [MnL2(H2O)2]2H2O, [ZnL2(H2O)2]2H2O have been synthesized. It is shown that the composition obtained depends on ratio initial components. The structure studied by elemental, X-ray phase analysis, (DLS)method, UV-VIS spectroscopy, IR spectral thermogravimetric analysis. method UV spectroscopy has show i...

New transcripts generated by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) are generally processed in order to form mature mRNAs. Two key processing steps include a precise cleavage within the 3' end of the pre-mRNA, and the subsequent polymerization of adenosines to produce the poly(A) tail. In yeast, these two functions are performed by a large multi-subunit complex that includes the Cleavage Factor IA (CF IA)....

The new ligand HMeATSM, derived from condensation of 2-3-butanedione with 4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazide and 2,4-dimethyl-3-thiosemicarbazide, has been synthesized. Its reactivity nickel(II) zinc(II) nitrates was explored the resulting complexes were thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, mass spectrometry, IR, 1H 13C NMR spectroscopies their structures confirmed single-cry...

This article explored the protective effects of zinc supplementation on diabetic liver injury and studied the underlying mechanisms that zinc supplementation reduced ER stress and autophagy in diabetic liver. Type 2 diabetes mellitus-like Wistar rat models were intragastrically administrated with ZnSO4 15 mg/kg daily for 53 days. Liver changes were examined by biochemical assay of serum, histop...
