The origin of biological information and programmed protein synthesis
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)
Biological information is one of the most important characteristics of life, and it enables life to evolve to higher complexity and adapt to the environment by mutation and natural selection. However, the origin of this ...
An engineered Phlebia radiata manganese peroxidase: expression, refolding, purification and preliminary characterization
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)
Manganese peroxidases (MnPs) are interesting enzymes in protein engineering, aimed at maximizing industrial bioprocesses such as lignin degradation and biofuel production. cDNA of the secreted short-type of MnP from Phlebia ...
Tandem repetitions in transcriptomes of some Solanaceae species
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)
Characterization of occurrence, density and motif sequence of tandem repeats in the transcribed regions is helpful in understanding the functional significance of these repeats in the modern genomes. We analyzed tandem ...
Diagnostic and prognostic value of plasma level of microRNA-92a in acute myeloid leukemia
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-01)
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNAs of ~21 to 23 nucleotides in length that post-transcriptionally regulate mRNA expression. Highthroughput methodologies have shown deregulated miRNA expression in an ...

Effects of bar-transgenic rice on the intestinal microflora of the mice (Mus musculus)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)
Microbial molecular ecology approaches were used to the effects of Bar-transgenic rice on Intestinal Micro-flora of the Mice (Mus musculus). Kunming mice (Mus musculus) of 100 SPF-grade (20 g ± 2 g), half of which were ...
Potential effects of ultraviolet-C radiation on the mole rats (Spalax leucodon) hematological values
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)
In this study, the effect of ultraviolet-C (UVC) radiation on hematologic parameters of mole rats (Spalax leucodon) was studied. Ten mole rats of both sexes, weighing 150-200 g, were used. The rats were exposed to 8 hours ...
The Potential of DNA Barcode-Based Delineation Using Seven Putative Candidate Loci of the Plastid Region in Inferring Molecular Diversity of Cowpea at Sub-Species Level
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-10)
The novelty and suitability of the mitochondrial gene CO1 in DNA barcoding as a reliable identification tool in animal species are undisputed. This is attributed to its standardized sequencing segment of the mitochondrial ...
N–nitrosodiethylamine cytochrome P450 induction and cytotoxicity evaluation in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-07)
The primary routes of potential human exposure to N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) are ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact. Air, diet and smoking contribute to potential human exposure at levels of a few µg of NDEA/day. ...
