A better way to treat complex diseases such as cancer is aim for several targets at once. Beta-carboline derivatives have been shown anticancer activity, but these compounds may target enzymes required cell division. Polo-like kinases (PLKs) are well conserved serine/threonine and PLK1 plays multiple roles in proliferation. Thus, one of the attractive mitotic drugs. We found that DH166, a beta-carboline derivative, inhibits growth cdc5-2 temperature-sensitive mutant more profoundly than...

Genetic variation in human populations can result the misfolding and aggregation of proteins, giving rise to systemic neurodegenerative diseases that require management by proteostasis. Here, we define role GRP94, endoplasmic reticulum Hsp90 chaperone paralog, managing alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency on a residue-by-residue basis using Gaussian process regression-based machine learning profile spatial covariance relationships dictate protein folding arising from sequence variants population....

A biological method for synthesising silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was developed using the callus extracts from Artemisia annua L. under sunlight at 25,000 lx. The AgNPs were characterised transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. mostly spherical with size of 2.1 to 45.2 nm (average 10.9 nm).

Abstract Sika deer are known to prefer oak leaves, which rich in tannins and toxic most mammals; however, the genetic mechanisms underlying their unique ability adapt living jungle still unclear. In identifying mechanism responsible for tolerance of a highly diet, we have made major advancement elucidation genomics sika deer. We generated first high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly measured correlation between tannin intake RNA expression 15 tissues through 180 experiments....

Locating of important agronomic genes onto chromosome is helpful for efficient development new wheat varieties. Wheat substitution lines between two varieties have been widely used locating because their distinctive advantages in genetic analysis, compared with the aneuploid materials. Apart from substituted chromosome, other chromosomes and recipient parent should be identical, which eases gene practice. In this study, a set cv. Wichita (WI) as Cheyenne (CNN) donor were studied composition...
