Abstract The major flavour precursors in the genus Allium include alliin, isoalliin, proliin and methiin, members of the alkyl Cysteine Sulfoxide group (CSOs). The path of synthesis of alkyl Cysteine Sulphoxides, or flavour precursors, in the Alliums are still speculative. There are two proposed routes for alliin biosynthesis, one is from serine and allyl thiol […]
Abstract Meningitis is an acute inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. Meningitis can be life-threatening because of the inflammation’s proximity to the brain and spinal cord; therefore, the condition is classified as a medical emergency. The scope of the current work is to predict and […]
Abstract One of the major causes of blindness is primary open-angle glaucoma, which affects millions of elderly people worldwide. Optineurin (OPTN) has recently been linked to glaucoma, a major cause. Mutations in OPTN have been reported in patients, particularly those with normal pressure glaucoma. The purpose of analysis was to determine the potential regions of […]
Abstract Antibiotics are one of the most important commercially exploited secondary metabolites produced by the bacteria and employed in a wide range. Most of the antibiotic producers used today are the soil microbes and the antibiotics are the secondary metabolites of these cells. With the increasing applications of these commercially available antibiotics they are becoming […]
Abstract Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is one of the oldest cultivated oil crops in the world. The unique oil produced in castor seeds contains ricinoleic acid, an essential product that is widely used as a raw material in numerous commercial applications. Ricin one of the storage protein of the seed is an cytotoxin used in […]
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. There is no known cure for the disease, in fact it worsens as it progresses, and eventually leads to death. In this work the main focus was tro extract the protein elastase and intern use it to target the APP protein, a cause of […]
Abstract Eight parental lines of diverse origin of tomato were crossed in a 8 × 8 diallel mating design excluding reciprocals. The 28 F1 hybrids along with their parents were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications. In the present study, significant and highest general combining ability effect for fruit yield and average […]
Abstract Nature is a unique source of different high value chemical compounds, many possessing interesting biological specificities and unique medicinal properties. In the worldwide deadly conditions of variety of cancer occurring today, there is an urgent need for an intensive search for natural chemical compounds for prevention. Spices used in food preparing contains a rich […]
Abstract Microbial fuel cell is an applied aspect of microbes, i.e., using bacteria to generate electricity. It uses carbon source like sugars or any other organic waste. Bacteria like E. coli, Pseudomonas methanica, Pseudomonas fluorescence, Pseudomonas putida, Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus subtilis and many more that lives at anode are able to consume sugars under anaerobic […]
Abstract Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common form of human birth defects accounting for about 30% of the total anomalies. The prevalence rate of CHD is 9 per 1000 live births. The etiology for the majority of these anomalies remains unknown but genetic factors are being recognized as playing an increasingly important role. […]
