In the present study, the antimicrobial tests of patchouli oil were studied by using molecular docking technology and antimicrobial test in vitro. Five biological macromolecule enzymes, required by the bacteria in the process of biosynthesis were selected as target molecules. Five antibiotics benzylpenicillin, sulfadiazine, trimethoprim, rifampicin and ciprofloxacin, which are generally acknowle...

Luciferase enzymes are involved in the bioluminescence reaction (light emission by living organisms). The bioluminescence process is a widespread phenomenon in the Nature. These enzymes are identified in some domains of life, but the luciferases from lampyrid genus are considered of for biological applications. The molecular cloning of a new type of firefly luciferase from Luciola lateralis was...

studying the interaction of pharmaceutical ionic liquids with human serum albumin (hsa) can help investigating whether or not ionic liquid formation can enhance pharmacological profile of the discrete ingredients. in this respect, in the present work, the interactions of benzalkonium ibuprofenate, as a well-known active pharmaceutical ionic liquid, benzalkonium chloride, and also sodium ibuprof...

phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of euphorbia erythradenia bioss. (euphorbiaceae), one of iranian endemic euphorbias, with particular attention to triterpene constituents, using methanol solvent extraction was carried out. five known triterpenes, including four cycloartanes and oleanolic acid, were isolated for the first time and identified using nmr and mass techniques. anti hiv...

Flaviviral protease inhibitors identied by fragment-based library docking into a structure generated by molecular dynamics

Introduction: Interferon beta is one of the members of type I interferons. Creating R27T and V101F mutations is one of the important researches performed to improve function, decrease immunogenicity, increase expression and increase half-life of interferon beta. In this study, the effects of R27T and V101F mutations on interferon beta binding to interferon receptors were studied by molecular do...

monoamine oxidase (ec, 1.4.3.4) or amine oxidoreductase catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines. abnormal action of the monoamine oxidase b has been associated with neurological dysfunctions including parkinson´s disorder. monoamine oxidase b inhibitors divulged that these agents were effective in the therapeutic management of parkinson's disease. understanding the interaction of...

A set of Xanthohumol derivatives were selected and molecular docking studies of these ‎compounds on thioredoxin reductase were conducted. Based on new structural patterns using in ‎silico-screening study, new potent lead compounds were designed. The results due to validated ‎docking protocols lead to find that Thr58, Gly57, Gly21, Asp334, Glu163, Ala130, IIe332, ‎Val44 and Gly132 are the main a...

Nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used in medical and therapeuticapplications. However, their albumin binding and their cytotoxicity assays havenot been well explored. In his study, the interaction of NiO NPs with human serumalbumin (HSA) was explored by circular dichroism (CD) study, molecular dockingand dynamic studies. Afterwards the cytotoxicity of NiO NPs against...
