An interdisciplinary team from Duke Univ., Durham, N.C., has discovered the probable orientation required for a Cdc25B phosphatase enzyme to dock with and activate a kinase protein complex. A successful docking not only requires the "active sites"--where chemical reactions occur--on the phosphatase and...
SYDNEY AFP — Australian scientists have discovered pineapple molecules can act as powerful anti-cancer agents and said the research could lead to a new class of cancer-fighting drugs. Scientists at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research QIMR said their work centred on two molecules from bromelaine, an extract derived...
University of Missouri (Columbia, MO) has patented an isolated and purified nucleic acid molecule encoding mammalian immunoglobulin A inducing protein, and methods of using the immunoglobulin A inducing protein nucleic acid molecule and immunoglobulin A inducing protein. (US 6,930,167)
Multiple Antigen Peptides MAPs assist in immunization to raise antibodies, tools for immunization assays and therapeutics. Synthesizing MAPs enhances autigenicity the ability to raise antibodies of small peptides. MAPs serve as alternatives to peptides coupled to carriers KLH, BSA, or OVA proteins, and are available as...
According to the standard drug design paradigm, a drug therapy is targeted for a particular disease according to well-established procedures, such as to: * Obtain an X-ray structure of the relevant protein and ligand (small-molecule) complex that activates the disease symptoms; ...
