since most of the studies on chemical compounds of dermatophytes have shown the existence of a relationship between their pathogenisity and proteolytec enzymes. activities of 19 different enzymes in viable mycelia and cytoplasmic extracts of t.rubrum (cetr), t.mentagrophytes (cetm) and t.verrucosum (cetv) were investigated by the api-zym system. the results showed that viable mycelia of t.rubrm...

the use of proteins and peptides as human therapeutics has been increased in recent years. lipase is a relatively homogeneous proteinaceous enzyme indicated in maldigestion. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of humidity along with compactional pressure on the enzymatic activity of wheat germ lipase. samples of lipase powder were kept at different relative humidity (rh)...

zero tillage practices have a direct effect on soil microbial communities modifying soil productivity and sustainability. the crop sequences used can change the aforementioned properties, too. in this study, we evaluated the effect of crop sequences under zero tillage management on soil biological and chemical properties including vertical distribution of soil organic carbon, soil basal respira...

objective: ischemic preconditioning (ipc) is an endogenous phenomenon that can induce ischemic tolerance (it) in variety of organs such as brain. in this study, we examined the intermittent and prolonged normobaric hyperoxia (ho) on neurologic deficit scores, infarct volume, and superoxide dismutase activity. materials and methods: the rats were divided to four main groups. first two main grou...

it is now well established that the type la of serine/threonine protein phosphatases (pp1α) may be implicated in malignant phenotype. although the pp1α mrna level increased in livers at preneo-plastic stages of hepatocarinogenesis and all of examined rat ascites hepatomas, unexpectedly, dra-matically decreased in some of primary hepatomas. in order to elucidate the low level of pp1α mrna in som...

effect of zinc cyanide on protein and certain metabolites content and some enzymes activitieswas evaluated in liver, muscle and gill tissues of the freshwater fish, cirrhinus mrigala, during exposure andfollowing cessation of exposure. fish exhibited significant alterations in the biochemical parameters in alltissues studied. levels of total protein decreased in all tissues, where as free amino...

acriflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) is an anticeptic drug developed in 1912. previous research has focused on investigation of the intercalating features of acriflavine, but little is known about its interaction with proteins. drug-receptor interaction is of major interest in clinical science. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of acriflavine to induce alterations in conform...
