Factor de conversión proteica y capacidad antioxidante de isoflavonas en Glycine max

The conversion factor of nitrogen to proteins and isoflavones present in Glycine max was determined. For the determination of the conversion factor, we worked with solubilizing the proteins at alkaline pH and then extracting them with acidic pH. The proteins were iden...

Structure analysis of capsid protein of Porcine circovirus type 2 from pigs with systemic disease

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (2), 2018
Abstract Economic losses with high mortality rate associated with Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is reported worldwide. PCV2 commercial vaccine was introduced in 2006 in U.S. and in 2008 in Brazil. Although PCV2 vaccines have been widely used, cases of PCV2 systemic disease have been reported in the la...

Structural insights into leishmanolysins encoded on chromosome 10 of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 112 (9), 2017
BACKGROUND Leishmanolysins have been described as important parasite virulence factors because of their roles in the infection of promastigotes and resistance to host's defenses. Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis contains several leishmanolysin genes in its genome, especially in chromosome 10. However, ...

The accuracy of protein structure alignment servers

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (2), 2016
Background: Protein structural alignment is one of the most fundamental and crucial areas of research in the domain of computational structural biology. Comparison of a protein structure with known structures helps to classify it as a new or belonging to a known group of proteins. This, in turn, is usefu...
