Determining the C-terminal amino acid of a peptide from MS/MS data
(Proteomass Scientific Society, 2013-12)
Proteomics is currently chiefly based on mass spectrometry (MS) which is the tool of choice to investigate proteins. Two computational approaches to derive the tandem mass spectrum precursor’s sequence are widely employed. ...
Protective effect of zinc on cyclophosphamide-induced hematoxicity and urotoxicity
(Humana Press, 2008-12)
Cyclophosphamide (CP) is widely used for the treatment of neoplastic diseases; however, its toxicity causes dose-limiting side effects. Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element and has important biological functions that ...
One step forward, two steps back; Xeno-MicroRNAs reported in breast milk are artifacts
(Public Library of Science, 2016-01)
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNA sequences that guide post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression via complementarity to their target mRNAs. Discovered only recently, miRNAs have drawn a lot of attention. ...
Screening of damage induced by lead (Pb) in rye (Secale cereale L.) – a genetic and physiological approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-05-03)
The fields in which lead (Pb) finds application in the modern world have increased dramatically in recent years. As a consequence of this intensive utilization of Pb, its toxicity tends to pose more and more environmental ...
Effects of deleting mitochondrial antioxidant genes on life span
(Wiley, 2007-04)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage biomolecules, accelerate aging, and shorten life span, whereas antioxidant enzymes mitigate these effects. Because mitochondria are a primary site of ROS generation and also a primary ...
Methionine sulfoxide reduction and the aging process
(Wiley, 2007-04)
Aging has been described for multicellular and asymmetrically dividing organisms, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. Oxidation of proteins is considered to be one of the major factors that leads to aging. Oxidative ...
Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of edible zein films incorporated with lysozyme, albumin proteins and disodium EDTA
(Elsevier, 2007-01)
In this study, partially purified lysozyme was incorporated into zein films in combination with chickpea albumin extract (CPAE), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and disodium EDTA. The zein films showed an inherent free radical ...
Protein based flushing related blood urea nitrogen effects on ovarian response, embryo recovery and embryo quality in superovulated ewes
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
The present study is the first report that evaluates effects of nutritional effects of flushing with differing diet crude protein ratios on blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, related some reproductive parameters and embryo ...
Prevalence of hepatitis B viral infection in Punjab province of Pakistan
(University of Punjab, 2017-08)
Hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection is a major health problem globally and more prevalent in Pakistan, and HBV. which is the main etiological agent of chronic hepatitis B, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis. A total ...
Organogenesis from transformed tomato explants
(Humana Press, 2005)
Tomato was one of the first crops for which a genetic transformation system was reported involving regeneration by organogenesis from Agrobacterium-transformed explants. Since the initial reports, various factors have been ...
