conclusions it was found that the isolated bacteria produced biosurfactants that had a great potential for different industries. results the 3 isolates from cheese, yoghurt and silage were effective against isolated e.coli and could produce biosurfactants. phylogenic relationships of the 3 potential candidates were determined comparing the 16sr dna gene sequences, they were found to be as 3 iso...

Background: RNA plays key role in many aspects of biological processes and its tertiary structure is critical for its biological function. RNA secondary structure represents various significant portions of RNA tertiary structure. Since the biological function of RNA is concluded indirectly from its primary structure, it would be important to analyze the relations between the RNA sequences and t...

There are questions concerning the functions of artemin, an abundant stress protein found in Artemiaduring embryo development. It has been reported that artemin binds RNA at high temperatures in vitro, suggesting an RNA protective role. In this study, we investigated the possibility of the presence of RNA-bindingsites and their structural properties in artemin, using docking energy ...

Evaluation of gene expression in urinary sediment has been considered as a promising non-invasive approach for biomarker identification of kidney diseases. Nonetheless, there are several challenges in extraction of RNA from this valuable source of biomarkers, mostly because of the factors that have influence on quality of isolated RNA such as low cellular content. Accordingly, we compared the q...

background : gb virus c (gbv-c) is a flavivirus that was characterized in 1995. the prevalence of gbv-c rna in hiv-in­fected subjects has not been previously studied in iran and was therefore determined. methods: we have investigated serum samples of 80 patients from imam khomeini hospital, tehran, iran, whose hiv in­fection was confirmed in our laboratory by western-blotting. we used nested-pc...

noncoding ribonucleic acids micro-rna is involved in the regulation of gene expression have major roles in the post-transcriptional level. a micro-rna alone several causes down regulation of mrna transcript of the target. thus, small changes in the expression of a micro rna may lead to significant changes in gene expression are different. micro- rna as key regulators of immune cell lineage diff...
