Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. In this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate Lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. Results showed that the iron-binding site, DNA and RNA-binding sites, signal pepti...

stability of the π-π stacking interactions in the ben||n-substituted-coronene complexes was studied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where ben is benzene and || denotes π-π stacking interaction, and n-substituted-coronene is coronene molecule which substituted with different number of n atoms). the results reveal simultaneous effects of structure and number of heteroatom on th...

three new rimantadine schiff bases (rsbs) were prepared, and then the interaction of rsbs with bovine serum albumin (bsa) was investigated using fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, uv-vis absorption spectroscopy under physiological conditions. the results showed that the three rsbs effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of bsa via static quenching. binding constant (ka), number of ...

The binding number of a graph G, bind(G), is defined; some examples of its calculation are given, and some upper bounds for it are proved. It is then proved that, if bind(G) > c, then G contains at least 1 G 1 c/(c + 1) disjoint edges if 0 < c < 3, at least ( G I (3c 2)/3c 2(c 1)/c disjoint edges if 1 < c < $, a Hamiltonian circuit if c > $, and a circuit of length at least 3(1 G / l)(c 1)/c if...

Three new rimantadine Schiff bases (RSBs) were prepared, and then the interaction of RSBs with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The results showed that the three RSBs effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching. Binding constant (Ka), number of ...
