The anillin actin-binding protein (ANLN) is immensely overexpressed in cancers, including lung cancer (LC). Phytocompounds have gained interest due to their broader potential and reduced unwanted effects. Screening numerous compounds presents a challenge, but in silico molecular docking is pragmatic.

Despite the existence of modern antidiabetic medications, diabetes still affects millions of individuals worldwide, with a high death and disability rate. There has been a concerted search for alternative natural medicinal agents; luteolin (LUT), a polyphenolic molecule, might be a good choice, both because of its efficacy and because of it having fewer side effects, compared to conventional medicines. This study aims to explore the antidiabetic potential of LUT in diabetic rats, induced by streptozotocin (STZ; 50 mg/kg b.

Organotin compounds (OTCs) are a commercially important group of organometallic compounds of tin used globally as polyvinyl chloride stabilizers and marine antifouling biocides. Worldwide use of OTCs has resulted in their ubiquitous presence in ecosystems across all the continents. OTCs have metabolic and endocrine disrupting effects in marine and terrestrial organisms.

This research work focuses on the potential application of an organic compound, santalol, obtained from santalum album, in the inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is actively involved in the biosynthesis of melanin pigment. Over-production of melanin causes undesirable pigmentation in humans as well as other organisms and significantly downgrades their aesthetic value. The study is designed to explain the purification of tyrosinase from the mushroom , followed by activity assays and enzyme kinetics to give insight into the santalol-modulated tyrosinase inhibition in a dose-dependent manner.

Arsenic (As) contamination is continuously increasing in the groundwaters and soils around the world causing toxicity in the plants with a detrimental effect on physiology, growth, and yield. In a hydroponic system, thirty-day-old plants of Trigonella foenum-graecum were subjected to 0, 50, or 100 µM NaHAsO0.7 HO for 10 days.

has seen tremendous success as it has developed defenses to reside in host alveoli despite various host-related stress circumstances. Rv1636 is a universal stress protein contributing to mycobacterial survival in different host-derived stress conditions. Both ATP and cAMP can be bound with the Rv1636, and their binding actions are independent of one another.

The emergence of drug resistance and the limited number of approved antitubercular drugs prompted identification and development of new antitubercular compounds to cure (TB). In this work, an attempt was made to identify potential natural compounds that target mycobacterial proteins. Three plant extracts (, and ) were investigated.

World is familiar with the viral pathogen Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). The principle working enzymes of SARS CoV-2 have been identified as main proteases 3Cl pro which act as main regulators for SARS infection. The need for therapy is required immediately pertaining to the vulnerable conditions.

Proteomic information revealed approximately 3,923 proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H Rv genome of which around ∼25% of proteins are hypothetical proteins (HPs). The present work comprises computational approaches to identify and characterize the HPs of M. tuberculosis that symbolize the putative target for rationale development of a drug or antituberculosis strategy.

The emergence of tuberculosis is at the peak; therefore to station it at its lower level we hereby try bioinformatics approach against [] pathogenesis. Rv3906c is a conserved hypothetical gene of and contains many GTP binding protein motif DXXG which demonstrate that this gene might be processed in a GTP binding or in GTP hydrolyzing manner. This gene shows interaction with its adjacent genes as well as which is a polymerase and localized in the extracellular region and found to be a soluble protein.
