Free Volatile Compounds of ssp. (Baumg.) Eb. Fisch. and Their Biological Activity.

The composition of free volatile compounds of essential oils (EO) and hydrosols (Hy) from four different localities of the species ssp. (Baumg.) Eb.

On the history of the connectivity index: from the connectivity index to the exact solution of the protein alignment problem.

We briefly review the history of the connectivity index from 1975 to date. We hope to throw some light on why this unique, by its design, graph theoretical molecular descriptor continues to be of interest in QSAR, having wide use in applications in structure-property and structure-activity studies. We will elaborate on its generalizations and the insights it offered on applications in Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA).

Morphological, genetic and phytochemical variation of the endemic Teucrium arduini L. (Lamiaceae).

Analysis of the morphological traits of leaves, genetic variability (analyzed by AFLP) and chemical composition of essential oils (analyzed by GC-MS) was conducted on eleven populations of the endemic Illyric-Balcanic species Teucrium arduini L. in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. Average blade length and width ranged from 20.

Protein alignment: Exact versus approximate. An illustration.

We illustrate solving the protein alignment problem exactly using the algorithm VESPA (very efficient search for protein alignment). We have compared our result with the approximate solution obtained with BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) software, which is currently the most widely used for searching for protein alignment. We have selected human and mouse proteins having around 170 amino acids for comparison.
