Background and objectives: Coumarins have potential anticancer effects. Ferulago macrocarpa (Fenzl) Boiss, is a perennial herb which has shown to have several dihydropyranocoumarins like grandivittin (GRA) and dihydrofuranocoumarins such as prantschimgin (PRA). Previously the antibacterial, cytotoxic and antioxidant effect of GRA and PRA have been reported. Understandi...

in order to shed more light on the effect of peripheral groups of porphyrin core intophysicochemical properties and dna binding behavior of porphyrins, we have chosen toinvestigate solution properties and calf thymus dna binding behavior of meso-tetrakis (4-nbenzyl-pyridyl) porphyrin (tbzpyp) and its mn (iii), co (iii), ni (ii) and cu (ii) complexesderivatives have been studied in thermodynamic...

Continuous labelling of callus with H-thymidine results in intermittent peaks of H-DNA per chloroplast, showing synchrony of division. The increase in H-DNA could be due to several replication rounds, and the drop to successive plastid divisions without intervening DNA synthesis. The level of DNA-binding proteins in the chloroplast parallels the peaks of plastidal DNA synthesis; such pro...

To overcome early cancer detection challenges, diagnostic tools enabling more sensitive, rapid, and noninvasive are necessary. An attractive target for blood tests is human Ecto-NOX disulfide–thiol exchanger 2 (ENOX2), expressed in most types regularly shed into sera. Here, we developed an electrochemical DNA-based (E-DNA) biosensor that rapidly detects physiologically relevant levels of ENOX2....

Predicting DNA-protein binding is an important and classic problem in bioinformatics. Convolutional neural networks have outperformed conventional methods modeling the sequence specificity of binding. However, none studies has utilized graph convolutional for motif inference. In this work, we propose to use We build a k-mer whole dataset based on co-occurrence relationship then learn DNA Graph ...

porophyrins and their metal derivatives are strong dna binders with association constant of  to  . some of these compounds have been used for the radiations sensitization therapy of cancer and are targeted to interact with cellular dna. binding of porphyrins to dna changes the expectral and other physic chemical characteristic of porphyrins, the mode of binding can be extracted from inspection ...

MXDs are transcription repressors that antagonize MYC-mediated gene activation. MYC, when associated with MIZ1, acts also as a repressor of subset genes, including p15 and p21. A role for in regulation MYC-repressed genes is not known. We report activate p21 U2OS cells. This activation required DNA binding by their interaction MIZ1. MXD mutants deficient MIZ1 interacted the MYC-binding partner ...

Theoretical methods, such as molecular mechanics and dynamics, are very useful in understanding differences interactions at the single molecule level. In life sciences, small conformational changes, including substituent modifications, often have a significant impact on function vivo. Changes binding between nucleic acid molecules proteins prime example. this study, we propose strategy to predi...
