Hypoglycaemic activity of biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles in alloxan-induced diabetic Wister rats
(Wiley, 2023)
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce or use insulin. This study evaluated the hypoglycaemic activity of biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) ...
Reports of plant-derived nanoparticles for prostate cancer therapy
(MDPI, 2023)
Plants have demonstrated potential in providing various types of phytomedicines with
chemopreventive properties that can combat prostate cancer. However, despite their promising
in vitro activity, the incorporation of ...
Ozone and nitric oxide induce cGMP-dependent and independent transcription of defence genes in tobacco
(Wiley, 2009)
Here, we analyse the temporal signatures of ozone (O3)-induced hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) and the role of the second messenger guanosine
3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) in transcriptional changes ...
Identification of a novel alkaliphilic esterase active at low temperatures by screening a metagenomic library from Antarctic desert soil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
The cold deserts of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, South Victoria Land, Eastern Antarctica, are widely acknowledged as
having the harshest soil environments on Earth (6, 8, 26).
Despite the apparent hostility of the environment, ...
Characterization and expression analysis of heme oxygenase genes from sorghum bicolor
(SAGE Publications, 2019)
Heme oxygenases (HOs) have a major role in phytochrome chromophore biosynthesis, and chromophores in turn have antioxidant
properties. Plant heme oxygenases are divided into the HO1 sub-family comprising HO1, HO3, and ...
A simple, high-throughput modeling approach reveals insights into the mechanism of gametophytic self-incompatibility
(Nature Research, 2016)
Specificity in the GSI response results from the S-haplotype-specific molecular interaction of S-locus
F-box (SLF/SFB) and SRNase proteins in the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus). The answer to the
question of how ...
Post-translational cleavage of recombinantly expressed nitrilase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1 yields a stable, active helical form
(Wiley, 2007)
Nitrilases convert nitriles to the corresponding carboxylic acids and ammonia.
The nitrilase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1 is known to be inactive
as a dimer but to become active on oligomerization. The recombinant
enzyme ...
The arabidopsis wall associated kinase-like 10 gene encodes a functional guanylyl cyclase and is coexpressed with pathogen defense related genes
(Public Library of Science, 2010)
Second messengers have a key role in linking environmental stimuli to physiological responses. One such messenger, guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), has long been known to be an essential signaling molecule in ...
Enhanced anti-bacterial activity of biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized from terminalia mantaly extracts
(Dove Press, 2019)
The global increase in outbreaks and mortality rates associated with multidrug-
resistant (MDR) bacteria is a major health concern and calls for alternative treatments.
Natural-derived products have shown potential in ...
Identification and characterization of a heat-inducible Hsp70 gene from Sorghum bicolor which confers tolerance to thermal stress
(Springer, 2015)
This study describes the first detailed molecular
characterization of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) gene
from Sorghum bicolor, MN1618 designated as SbHsp70-1.
The full-length cDNA of SbHsp70-1 consists of 2524 bp ...
