Design teams targeting high-volume applications with high-performance algorithms have a seemingly wide range of design alternatives from which to choose. Competitive pressures in many markets mean that it is critical that the selected platform should be of sufficient performance to implement the chosen functionality efficiently. Selecting a design platform of much higher performance than requir...

Various intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and related compounds have been examined as inhibitors of pyruvate carboxylase purified from chicken and rat liver. These studies have indicated that cr-ketoglutarate is a specific inhibitor of chicken liver pyruvate carboxylase. Addition of cu-ketoglutarate causes the apparent KA for acetyl coenzyme A to become less favorable but does not a...

nano-films consisting of an alternating sequence of positively and negatively charged polyelectrolyteshave been prepared by means of the electrostatic layer-by-layer sequential assembly technique on mildsteels. the mild steels were pretreated electrochemically to modify the mild steel surface. the modificationof the mild steel surface resulted in increasing the adhesion of the obtained nano-fil...

abstract nowadays, bypassing agents such as recombinant activated factor vii (rfviia) and activated prothrombin complex concentrates (apcc) are used to treat bleeding episodes in the hemophilia patients with inhibitors. aryoseven® is an iranian biogeneric rfviia with homogeneity of efficacy and the nature to novoseven in a comparative trial. the current clinical trial aimed to evaluate the cost...

histone deacetylase inhibitors have gained a great deal of attention recently for the treatment of cancers and inflammatory diseases. so design of new inhibitors is of great importance in pharmaceutical industries and labs. creating pharmacophor models in order to design new molecules or search a library for finding lead compounds is of great interest. this approach reduces the overall cost ass...

a new series of alkylthio imidazole analogues of captopril, an ace inhibitor used in the treatment of hypertension, was designed and synthesized in order to obtain agents more active than captopril with less side effects. all the compounds thus prepared were purified and characterized by ir, nmr and mass analytical instruments.

objective: alpha-synuclein is a major component of protein plaques in synucleinopathies, particularly parkinson’s disease. the purpose of this study is to assess the inhibitory effects of cuminaldehyde on the fibrillation of alpha-synuclein. methods: alpha-synuclein was expressed in escherichia coli and subsequently purified. for the process of fibrillation, purified protein was incubated at 3...
