a lot of chemicals such as poly (amidoamine) ( pamam - nh2 ) dendrimers have pharmaceutical applications, but the major problem with pamam - nh2 is their cytotoxicity and mutagenicity. in this research, we have investigated the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of various generations of pamam-nh2 (g2.0, g3.0, g4.0, and g5.0). the cytotoxicity of pamam-nh2 at the dilutions of 0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001(...

Technologic advances now make it possible to collect large amounts of genetic, epigenetic, metabolomic and gut microbiome data. These data have the potential to transform approaches towards nutrition counselling by allowing us to recognise and embrace the metabolic, physiologic and genetic differences among individuals. The ultimate goal is to be able to integrate these multi-dimensional data s...

Background: Nodding Syndrome (NS), previously called Nodding Disease, is a chronic and debilitating illness affecting thousands of children aged 3-18 years in post-conflict Northern Uganda and South Sudan. Characterised by malnutrition, stunted growth, mental retardation and seizures, some researchers have designated it as epilepsy. With reports appearing in Northern Uganda in1997, NS reached e...

Copper(ii) complexes of peptides modelling the sequence of the 17-22 residues of rat amylin have been studied by potentiometric, UV-Vis, CD and ESR spectroscopic methods. The peptides were synthesized in N-terminally free forms, NH2-VRSSNN-NH2, NH2-VRSSAA-NH2, NH2-VRAANN-NH2, NH2-VRSS-NH2, NH2-SSNN-NH2, NH2-SSNA-NH2 and NH2-AANN-NH2, providing a possibility for the comparison of the metal bindi...

Hammett constants (σ) can be important factor to understanding substitution and position effects on benzoic acid. This report describes a computational study of ∆G◦ and σ for six substituted benzoic acid (X= F,Cl ,OH ,NH2 ,CN,NO2 )and phenylacetic acid substituted (X=OH ,NH2 ) at para and meta positions ingas and aqueousphases by DFT method and comparesit to available experimental and theoretic...

During skeletal muscle development, nuclei move dynamically through myotubes in a microtubule-dependent manner, driven by the microtubule motor protein kinesin-1. Loss of kinesin-1 leads to improperly positioned nuclei in culture and in vivo. Two models have been proposed to explain how kinesin-1 functions to move nuclei in myotubes. In the cargomodel, kinesin-1 acts directly from the surfaceof...

Tetracyclines (TCs) are the most widely used antibiotics for prevention and treatment of livestock diseases, but they toxic to humans have frequently been detected in water bodies. In this study, physical chemical properties zirconium-based metal organic framework (MOF) UiO-66 its NH2-functionalized congener UiO-66-NH2 were investigated along with batch TC adsorption tests determine effect func...
