This study aims to investigate the optimized structure and parameters of carisoprodol from DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level theory. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) map signifies that positive across hydrogen amine group (NH2) negative around carbonyl groups (C=O). HOMO-LUMO energy gap was found be 8.1064 eV. global local reactivity describe possible chemical reactive sites in molecule. to...

Backgroud: Protein-protein interaction, plays a key role in signal transduction in signaling pathways. Different approaches are used for prediction of these interactions including experimental and computational approaches. In conventional node-edge protein-protein interaction networks, we can only see which proteins interact but ‘structural networks’ show us how these proteins inter...

To investigate possible involvement of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases ERK1 and ERK2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinases) in somatic cell mitosis, we have used indirect immunofluorescence with a highly specific phospho-MAP kinase antibody and found that a portion of the active MAP kinase is localized at kinetochores, asters, and the midbody during mitosis. Although the aster lab...

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases signal to proteins that could modify smooth muscle contraction. Caldesmon is a substrate for extracellular signal-related kinases (ERK) and p38 MAP kinases in vitro and has been suggested to modulate actin-myosin interaction and contraction. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is downstream of p38 MAP kinases presumably participating in the sustained phase of m...

One of the greatest challenges of the post-genomic era is the construction of a more comprehensive human protein interaction map. While this process may take many years to complete, the development of stringent high throughput techniques and the emergence of complementary assays mean that the aim of building a detailed binary map of the human interactome is now a very realistic goal. In particu...
