Zirconia nanoparticles/ferroelectric liquid crystal composites for ionic impurity-free memory applications
(2013)
We observed an ionic impurity-free memory effect using a zirconia nanoparticles (ZNPs)/ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) composite. The pure and ZNPs doped FLC cells have been analyzed by means of dielectric spectroscopy, ...
Anticancer activity of essential oils: A review
(2013)
Natural essential oil constituents play an important role in cancer prevention and treatment. Essential oil constituents from aromatic herbs and dietary plants include monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, oxygenated monoterpenes, ...
Recent Advancements in Small Molecule Inhibitors of Insulin–like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) Tyrosine Kinase as Anticancer agents
(Bentham Science, 2013)
Advancements in understanding of the genetics, genomics, biochemistry and the pharmacology of cancer in human, have driven the current cancer chemotherapy to intently focus on development of target-based approaches rather ...
Cystathionine β-Lyase-Like Protein with Pyridoxal Binding Domain Characterized in Leishmania major by Comparative Sequence Analysis and Homology Modelling
(Hindawi, 2013)
Cystathionine β-lyase-like protein (CBLP), one of the key enzymes involved in
methionine biosynthesis utilising pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor, has recently been reported in Leishmania major. Its presence in the ...
Conserved structural chemistry for incision activity in structurally non-homologous apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease APE1 and endonuclease IV DNA repair enzymes
(2013)
Non-coding apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites in DNA form spontaneously and as DNA base excision repair intermediates are the most common toxic and mutagenic in vivo DNA lesion. For repair,APsites must be processed by 5' AP ...
Medicinal attributes of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines: A review
(2013)
Pyrazolopyrimidines are the fused heterocyclic ring systems which structurally resemble purines which prompted biological investigations to assess their potential therapeutic significance. They are known to play a crucial ...
APE1: A Molecule of Focus with Neuroprotective and Anti-Cancer Properties
(OMICS Publishing Group, 2013)
Apurinic/Apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE1) is a multi-functional, central enzyme of base excision repair (BER) pathway that takes care of oxidized base damage (AP sites and strand breaks) caused by both endogenous and ...
Sequence-based Phylogeography of Seaweeds: How Current Distribution is Shaped by Accumulation of Past?
(Graduate School of Kuroshio Science, Kochi University, 2013)
State-of-the-art techniques of phylogeography are now routinely used to assess changes at DNA level accumulated over time, and thereby to study forces that might have influenced distribution patterns of organisms. Presented ...
Agronomy and cultivation methods for edible seaweeds
(Research India Publications, 2013)
Seaweeds, by all means, are “future plants”; they have been projected as the future viand for ever-increasing human populations, viable and sustainable source for biofuel without disturbing global food scenario, as potential ...
Sequence Similarity Search, Multiple Sequence Alignment, Model Selection, Distance Matrix and Phylogeny Reconstruction
(Nature, 2013)
This is a generic sequence analysis protocol suitable for plant and algal phylogeographic studies. Generated sequences from bidirectional Sanger sequencers are first assembled using Geneious. Sequence assembly is then ...
