medicinal plants have high importance in medicine and pharmacogonosy because of their secondary metabolites. essential oils, antioxidants and flavonoids are the major compounds of many medicinal plants. these compounds especially antioxidants can increase oxidation of dna in response to wounds. nowadays, progresses in biotechnology such as molecular markers were used for phylogenetic relationsh...

introduction: the human papilloma virus (hpv) can play a role in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (scc). our aim was to assess the prevalence of hpv dna in scc of the larynx. the impact of hpv infection on patient survival was also evaluated.  materials and methods: this case-control study was performed in 44 patients with scc of the larynx (case group), while the contro...

To evaluate the biological impacts of high background radiation exposures that are represented by spontaneous deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage, an evaluation on lymphocyte cells from residents Mamuju, West Sulawesi, Indonesia was tested. The mean annual dose received individuals in this area is about 10.40 mSv. Of 177 adult subjects studied, 102 were high-level natural areas Mamuju and 75 a n...

Introduction: The amount of expression of BAX and BCL-2 genes in infertile men’s sperm as well as its association with sperm parameters and DNA fragmentation index is an issue which has not been studied yet. In this research, it is assumed that up-regulation of BAX and downregulation of BCL-2 are directly associated with sperm DNA fragmentation. Methods: After obtaining semen samples from the ...

We have developed a set of DNA circuits that execute during gel electrophoresis to yield immobile, fluorescent features in the gel. The parallel execution of orthogonal circuits led to the simultaneous production of different fluorescent lines at different positions in the gel. The positions of the lines could be rationally manipulated by changing the mobilities of the reactants. The ability to...

DNA detection of porcine species in processed meat samples (shredded meat) was carried out as an effort to enrich the literature and reference alternative testing methods control halal products circulating Indonesia. The purpose this study detect using real-time PCR. research method used is a qualitative technique. This technique analyzes CT value sample compared positive by looking at formatio...

Artificial DNA looping peptides were engineered to study the roles of protein and DNA flexibility in controlling the geometry and stability of protein-mediated DNA loops. These LZD (leucine zipper dual-binding) peptides were derived by fusing a second, C-terminal, DNA-binding region onto the GCN4 bZip peptide. Two variants with different coiled-coil lengths were designed to control the relative...
