Seed protein usually is not sensitive to environmental fluctuations; its banding pattern is very stable which advocated for cultivars identification purpose in crop. This study was planned to study effect of water deficit on protein content and protein banding pattern of wheat genotypes. In this study five wheat genotypes were planted in early November, growing season of 2008-2009. The experime...

gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of sort1 gene. sortilin 1 (ntr-3) is a 95-100 kda protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis. however, its expression has never been reported in normal ovary. here, we report expression of sortilin 1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues both a...

Aim 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is one of the most widespread illegal drugs, used particularly by young people in the 15-34 age group. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously synthesized, non-coding and small RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate their target genes’ expression by inhibiting protein translation or degradation. miRNAs are increasingly implicated in drug-related...

Objective(s):Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that appears on the skin. Although psoriasis is clinically and histologically well characterized, its pathogenesis is unknown in detail. The aims of this study were to evaluate the proteome of psoriatic patients' sera and to compare them with those of normal healthy human to find valuable biomarkers. Materials and Methods: In a case-control study,...

background hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), a major fatal cancer worldwide, is induced by different etiological factors in the liver. objectives to gain insight into serum protein profiling of hcc with different etiologies. patients and methods we subjected the sera of hbv-hcc, hcv-hcc, non-b non-c-hcc patients, and healthy volunteers to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-de) and liquid chro...

Some sequence-comparison methods also try to include secondary and tertiary structural information. Because different secondary structural elements can be formed from very similar segments of sequence (see section 4-14), using structural information in the description of the reference protein could, in theory at least, help exclude proteins with somewhat similar sequences but very different str...
