A binding study of nickel ions by a new recombinant human Growth Hormone (hGH), produced as an injected drug, has been done at 27˚C in NaCl solution (50 mM) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. There is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for nickel ions. The intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 40 μM and -16...

New concepts in the manipulation of time in video editing are presented, enabling some unique visual effects. These effects include (i) slowing down (or postponing) some dynamic events while speeding up (or advancing) others. (ii) Creating dynamic panoramic images of dynamic scenes. (iii) Generating new views of a scene without a 3D model. (iv) Creating panoramic stereo images. Time manipulatio...

we have performed density functional theory (dft) calculations to investigate the properties of defect in arepresentative armchair model of silicon nanotubes (sints). to this aim, the structures of pristine and defective(5,5) sints have been optimized and the properties such as bond lengths, total energies, binding energies,.formation energies, gap energies, and dipole moments have been evaluat...

the histone-like protein hu is the most-abundant dna-binding protein in bacteria. the hu protein non-specifically binds and bends dna as a hetero- or homodimer, and can participate in dna supercoiling and dna condensation. it also takes part in dna functions such as replication, recombination, and repair. hu does not recognize any specific sequences but shows a certain degree of specificity to ...

the aims of this study were to compare the promoter sequence of the mannose-binding lectin (cmbl) gene in iranian native and commercial chicken strains; as well as to compare the cmbl gene expression in crossbred and inbred chickens. in total 79 native (western azerbaijan native fowls, wanf) and 49 commercial (arian commercial strain, acs) birds were reared as parents under same management prac...

background: the purity and correct folding of a recombinant protein is critical for any structural, biochemical and vaccine design studies. plasmodium vivax duffy binding protein-ii is a leading vaccine candidate for vivax malaria. in the present study, the purification process of recombinant dbp-ix (a variant form of pvdbp-ii) was optimized to achieve the highest yield and purity. moreover, na...

objective(s): a fast and reliable evaluation of the binding energy from a single conformation of a molecular complex is an important practical task. artificial neural networks (anns) are strong tools for predicting nonlinear functions which are used in this paper to predict binding energy. we proposed a structure that obtains binding energy using physicochemical molecular descriptions of the se...
