important aspect of nanotechnology. As part of our ongoing investigation into the use of fungi for nanoparticle synthesis, we report herein that depending on the reaction conditions of the fungus Trichothecium sp. with aqueous gold ions, gold nanoparticle synthesis can be controlled to occur either within the biomass or extracellularly. Moreover, we have found that reaction of gold ions with the Trichothecium sp. fungal biomass under stationary conditions results in the rapid extracellular formation of gold nanoparticles of spherical, rod-like and triangular morphology whereas reaction of the biomass under shaking conditions resulted in intracellular growth of the nanoparticles. It is believed that on changing the reaction conditions of the fungus with gold ions, the enzymes and proteins which are being released into the medium under stationary conditions do not get released under shaking conditions resulting in the formation of extracellular or intracellular gold nanoparticles respectively. The gold nanoparticles are not toxic to the cells and the cells continued to grow after the biosynthesis of the gold nanoparticles in both the cases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.929</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandey, Ganesh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dumbre, Shrinivas G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shabab, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puranik, Vedavati G.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beta-lactam-azasugar hybrid as a competitive potent galactosidase inhibitor</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tetrahedron Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta-Galactosidase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta-lactam-azasugar</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">glycosidase inhibitor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">hybrid molecules</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NOV</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7923-7926</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A beta-lactam-azasugar hybrid (polyhydroxylated carbacephem) has been designed and synthesized as a potent glycosidase inhibitor.

The binding affinities of the saccharides are in the order Gal-beta-1-3GalNAc-alpha-O-Me &amp;gt; Me-alpha-GalNAc &amp;gt; Me-alpha-Gal &amp;gt; Gal-beta-1-3GalNAc &amp;gt; Gal-alpha-1-6Glc. The binding affinities were comparable to those for jacalin. However, binding of the saccharides to the A. hirsuta lectin was not affected as strongly by temperature as observed in jacalin and the trend was found to be reversed. Values for Delta H and Delta S were found to be positive in A. hirsuta lectin-disaccharide binding despite similar binding affinities. Thus, with 99% structural and 96% sequence homology, with similar sugar specificity and affinity, the energetics of the disaccharide binding of the two lectins seem to be different. Me-alpha-GalNAc binding to A. hirsuta lectin is enthalpically driven, because the association constant decreases with increasing temperature. However, the binding of the T-antigen disaccharides and mellibiose disaccharides to the lectin is entropically driven. The difference in the molecular associations in the packing and variation of the C-terminal length of the P chain of the A. hirsuta lectin could be reflected in the different disaccharide binding energetics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;2.008&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandey, Ganesh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dumbre, Shrinivas G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shabab, M.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Convergent approach toward the synthesis of the stereoisomers of C-6 homologues of 1-deoxynojirimycin and their analogues: evaluation as specific glycosidase inhibitors</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Organic Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER CHEMICAL SOC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">71</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8481-8488</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A new and stereoselective strategy is developed to synthesize an appropriate template 9 to obtain C-6 homologues of 1-deoxyazasugars such as 1-deoxy-D-galactohomonojirimycin ( 5), 1-deoxy-4-hydroxymethyl-D-glucohomonojirimycin (6), and their enantiomers.

The specific activity of the enzyme was increased approximately 389-fold, from 1.03 U/mg protein to 400 U/mg protein. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme as determined by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration was 79.9 and 165.9 kDa, respectively, suggesting dimeric nature. The purified alpha-galactosidase is a non-glycosylated protein with a pI of 4.9. The pH and temperature optima for the purified enzyme are 6.5-7.0 and 65 degrees C, respectively. The alpha-galactosidase is stable over a broad pH range (3-9) and its half-life of inactivation (t(1/2)) at 70 degrees C is 30 min. The partial N-terminal sequence of alpha-galactosidase showed remarkable homology (80% similarity) with earlier reported alpha-galactosidase from B. stearothermophilus NUB 3621. The secondary structure of the enzyme determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy exhibited alpha/beta class of protein and showed temperature induced conformational forms below and above the transition temperature. The purified enzyme showed biphasic Arrhenius plot with break point at 55 degrees C for pNPG and 50 degrees C for melibiose, raffinose and stachyose. The enzyme hydrolyzes alpha-1-3, alpha-1-4, and alpha-1-6 galactosidic linkages and not the beta-galactosidic linkages. Synthetic substrates pNPG and oNPG had lower K-m and higher K-cat as compare to natural substrates, melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

These results suggested that carboxylate and a lysine residue take part in catalysis and only lysine residues were essential for substrate binding. Carbodiimide mediated chemical modification of the enzyme also supported that a carboxylate residue located in the active site act as a nucleophile base in substrate cleavage. Acylation and reductive methylation of lysine residues by acetic, citraconic anhydride and sodium borohydride suggested that four protonated lysine residues carrying positive charge on its epsilon-amino group provides the positive charge density for binding of the substrate. Additionally four tryptophan residues also found near to the active site and in a moderately hydrophobic environment. Kinetic and thermal inactivation study of modified enzyme indicated that these tryptophan residues might have a role in the catalytic site as well as in the thermal stabilization of active site conformation at higher temperature.

The supple phase-separated structure of the polymer electrolyte membrane, with hydrophilic pools containing solvated protons and water molecules, is found to preserve the incorporated protein in its active form even in the solid-state, using UV-visible, Fluorescence (of Tryptophan and Tyrosine residues) and DRIFT (diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform) spectroscopy. More specifically, solid-state cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance of the protein-incorporated polymer films reveal that the Fe2+-form of the entrapped protein is found to bind molecular oxygen more strongly than the native protein. In the `all-solid-state' methodology, as there is no need to dip the protein-modified electrode in a liquid electrolyte (like the conventional electrochemical methods), it offers an easier means to study a number of proteins in a variety of polymer matrices (even biomimetic assemblies). In addition, the results of the present investigation could find interesting application in a variety of research disciplines, in addition to its fundamental scientific interest, including protein biotechnology, pharmaceutical and biomimetic chemistry.

Incubation of sulphite reductase with aqueous CdCl2, Na2SO3, and capping peptide in the presence of a-NADPH, which acts as a co-factor, resulted in the formation of CdS nanoparticles of dimensions 5-20 nm. These CdS nanoparticles were conjugated with plant lectins by EDAC mediated coupling. These observations are of significance, as it will help in the development of eco-friendly process for the formation of CdS nanoparticles and their application as fluorescent biolabels. Moreover the above studies will also help in designing a rational enzymatic strategy for the synthesis of nanomaterials of different chemical composition, shapes and sizes as well as their separation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.929</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Feroz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahmad, Absar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical, thermal and pH-induced equilibrium unfolding studies of fusarium solani lectin</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IUBMB Life</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Denaturation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fusarium solani</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">guanidine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lectin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">thermal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Unfolding</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEC</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WILEY-BLACKWELL</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">59</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34-43</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The effect of urea, guanidine thiocyanate, temperature and pH was studied on the conformational stability of Fusarium solani lectin. Equilibrium unfolding with chemical denaturants showed that the lectin was least stable at pH 12 and maximally stable at pH 8.0 near its pI ( 8.7). Guanidine thiocyanate ( the concentration of denaturant at which the protein is half folded, D-1/2 = 0.49 M at pH 12) was found to be an eight times stronger denaturant than urea (D-1/2 = 3.88 M at pH 12). The unfolding curves obtained with fluorescence and CD measurements showed good agreement indicating a monophasic nature of unfolding and excluded the possibility of formation of any stable intermediate. The effect of pH on the lectin was found to be unusual as at acidic pH, the lectin showed a flexible tertiary structure with pronounced secondary structure, and retained its hemagglutinating activity. On the other hand, the lectin did not show any loss of conformation or activity upto 70 degrees C for 15 min. Moreover, thermal denaturation did not result in the aggregation or precipitation of the protein even at high temperatures. Thermal denaturation was also carried out in the presence of a low concentration of guanidine thiocyanate. Change in the enthalpy of transition (Delta H-m) varied linearly with transition temperature (T-m), which indicated that the heat capacity (Delta C-p =3.95 kJ (.) mol(-1) (.) K-1) of the lectin remained constant during the unfolding.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;2.653&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thakur, Atul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pal, Lakhan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahmad, Absar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complex carbohydrate specificity of lectin from fruiting body of ganoderma lucidum. a surface plasmon resonance study</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IUBMB Life</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ganoderma lucidum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">glycans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lectin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPR</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JOHN WILEY &amp; SONS INC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN, NJ 07030 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">59</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">758-764</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The thermodynamics and kinetics of binding of glycans and glycoproteins to Ganoderma lucidum lectin was studied using surface plasmon resonance.

There was a several fold increase in affinity for glycoproteins compared to their corresponding glycans and coincident increase in contribution from enthalpy (Delta H), suggesting the involvement of hydrogen bonding in the interaction as well as involvement of protein-protein interactions. Increased affinity also showed increase in unfavorable negative binding entropy (Delta S) which was compensated with higher enthalpy. The glycoproteins showed faster association rates (k(1)) and the activation energy (E-1(double dagger)) in the association process was much lower for the glycoproteins than glycans, resulting in their faster associations.

The candidature of active compounds to be an effective and novel drug was examined based on Lipinski's rule of Five which explained ClogP, LogS, H-bond acceptors, H-Bond donors and rotational bonds. Compounds 3a-d and 3f satisfies Lipinski's rule of Five and could be proposed as potent new antibacterial drugs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.46</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mohapatra, Debendra K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhattasali, Debabrata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gujar, Mukund K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shashidhara, K.

HSL is a monomeric glycoprotein of molecular mass 182 kDa. The lectin is highly thermostable as it retains full activity for 1 h at 80 degrees C. Further, the hemagglutination activity of HSL is unaffected by pH in the range 2-11. Unlike other lectins purified from marine invertebrates, the hemagglutination activity of HSL does not require any divalent metal ions. The affinity profile of HSL was studied by a combination of hemagglutination inhibition and fluorescence spectroscopy. HSL binds to desialylated glycoproteins, Me alpha Gal, T-antigen and T (alpha-ser)-antigen with a distinction between beta 1-4 and beta 1-3 linkages. Me alpha-T-antigen was a potent ligand having highest affinity (K-a 8.32 x 10(7) M-1). Monosaccharide binding is enthalphically driven while disaccharide binding involves both entropic and enthalpic contributions. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

The lectin binds sugars LacNAc (K-a = 1380 M-1) and fructose (K-a = 975 M-1), as determined by the fluorescence spectroscopy. It has a single tryptophan per monomer which is exposed on the surface and is in a strong electropositive environment as revealed by quenching with iodide. Quenching of the fluorescence by acrylamide involved both static (K-s = 0.216 M-1) and collisional (K-sv= 8.19 M-1) components. The native protein showed two different lifetimes, tau(1) (1.6 ns) and tau(2) (4.36 ns) which decrease and get converted into a single one, (2.21 ns) after quenching with 0.15 M acrylamide. The bimolecular quenching constant, k(q) was 7.55 x 10(11) M-1 s(-1). ANS binding studies showed that the native protein has exposed hydrophobic patches which get further exposed at extreme acidic or alkaline pH. However, they get buried in the interior of the protein in presence of 1 M GdnHCl or urea.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.966</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Katre, Uma V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suresh, C.

The protein is a homodimer with molecular mass of 14 kDa, subunits (7.1 kDa) linked by the disulfide bond(s). The secondary structure elements of MoL area-helix, 28%; beta-sheet, 23%; turn 20% and unordered 28%.

Interestingly, 20 min after 10-deacetylbaccatinIII (10-DAB) treatment, the caveolae displayed faster `kiss and run' dynamics while BaccatinIII (BacIII) did not induce any change. Sustained phosphorylation of Caveolin-1 is observed upon treatment and between Taxol and 10-DAB, the former shows phosphorylated Raf-1, ERK1/2 and hyperphosphorylated Bcl-2 while the later showed much less magnitude of the same. BacIII treatment did not induce phosphorylation of Raf-1 or Bcl-2. It is possible that Taxol might act on multiple targets and the side chain may be crucial.

The lectins exist as tetramers with a single tryptophan residue estimated per monomer, present in a polar environment. Quenching with ionic quenchers showed predominantly electropositive environment for tryptophan residues. Acrylamide had maximum quenching effect. A decrease in KI quenching due to lectin denaturation indicated redistribution of charges as a result of possible conformational change. The two values for lifetimes of tryptophanyl population (1.2-1.4 and 6.3-6.4 ns) reduced substantially on quenching or denaturation. Similarly, both the lectins showed a drastic loss of secondary structure in 5 M Gdn-HCl or 6 M Urea or at pH 2.0 and below. For the first time araceous lectins, like legume lectins are shown to bind adenine. The presence of a compact structure at alkaline pH 10.0-12.0 was observed in CD spectra.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.966</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shashidhara, K.

Three of the derivatives (Compound 20, 32 and 39)(11) showed competitive inhibition (K(i) =45, 48 and 235 mu M) and the binding of the inhibitors to the enzyme was entropically driven. Among the metal ions checked, Cu(++) (K(i) = 21nm) and Se(++) ions (K(i) = 32 mu M) showed noncompetitive and Co(++) (K(i) = 1.195 mM) showed competitive inhibition of the enzyme activity with insignificant change in the secondary structure of the protein. The above studies exhibit the Potential of the enzyme in studying anticancer drugs. Treatment of the enzyme with group specific reagents showed the presence of carboxylate, Arg and Cys at the active site. Substrate protection studies and kinetics of the modified enzyme confirmed the above results.

Characteristics such as high surface to volume ratios and quantum confinement results in materials that are qualitatively different from their bulk counterparts. These properties not only make them suitable for numerous applications in existing and emerging technologies, but also have outstanding role in many fields that provide inspiration for their fabrication. In Today's trend nanotechnology is spreading vigorously where researchers all over the world are focusing towards their synthesis and applications. Therefore, this review is helpful for the researchers in the field of nanobiotechnology/nanomedicine, providing a brief overview of nanotechnology, covering nanomaterial synthesis methods (with emphasis on environmentally benign greener approaches), their properties, and applications; such as drug delivery, bio-labeling, nanotoxicity etc. The influence of synthesis methods and surface coatings/stabilizing agents and their subsequent applications is discussed, and a broad outline on the biomedical applications into which they have been implemented is also presented.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.351</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Jay Prakash</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamang, Sudarsan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rajamohanan, P.

Therefore, their inhibitors are of colossal interest, having potential to be developed as effective antimetastatic drugs for tumor chemotherapy. Traditionally, secondary metabolites from streptomyces show a wide range of diversity with respect to their biological activity and chemical nature. In this article, we have described the characterization of small molecule cysteine protease inhibitor, CPI-2081 (compound 1), a mixture of two novel pentapeptides, compound 1a (736.71 Da), and compound 1b (842.78 Da), isolated from Streptomyces species NCIM2081, following solvent extraction and repeated HPLC based on C18 chemistry, and completely characterized using a variety of both ID and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Further, it was found that nanomolar concentration of compound 1 is able to inhibit papain hydrolytic activity. Also, compound 1 significantly inhibits tumor cell migration at sub cytotoxic concentration, indicating its remarkable potential to be developed as antimetastatic drug, which will make chemotherapy more localized and specific, thereby minimizing the hazardous side effects on normal tissues.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.207</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Feroz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahmad, Absar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Steady state and time resolved fluorescence quenching and chemical modification studies of a lectin from endophytic fungus fusarium solani</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Fluorescence</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical modification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">fluorescence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fusarium</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lectin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quenching</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time-resolved</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">233 SPRING ST, NEW YORK, NY 10013 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">305-313</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The solute quenching studies of a lectin from endophytic fungus Fusarium solani were carried out using different quenchers such as acrylamide, succinimide, potassium iodide and cesium chloride. The lectin showed emission maximum at 348 nm indicating relative exposure of tryptophan. The quenchable fraction of the fluorophore was 100% with acrylamide, whereas it was only 50% with succinimide. The ionic quenchers iodide and cesium showed opposite effects at different pH. In the case of cesium, raising the pH resulted in increased quenching and accessibility of typtophan residue, while the iodide showed just opposite effect. These studies showed that the single tryptophan residue of the lectin (per monomer) is relatively exposed, and might be in the vicinity of positively charged amino acid residues. Various amino acids of the F. solani lectin were modified using different reagents to obtain information about the hemagglutinating site. The chemical modification studies suggested tyrosine residues can be modified using N-acetylimidazole, which results in complete loss of hemagglutination activity of the lectin. Kinetics of chemical modification suggested involvement of only 2 tyrosine residues. Modification of arginine, cysteine, histidine, lysine, aspartate, glutamate and tryptophan did not result in loss of hemagglutinating activity of the lectin.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.966</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parthasarathy, Meera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Debgupta, Joyashish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kakade, Bhalchandra A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ansary, Abu Ayoobul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khan, Mohammad Islam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillai, Vijayamohanan K.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon nanotube-modified sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for molecular weight determination of proteins</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analytical Biochemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon nanotubes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gel electrophoresis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular weight determination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyacrylamide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein separation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">525 B ST, STE 1900, SAN DIEGO, CA 92101-4495 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">409</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">230-235</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The effect of incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the gel matrix on the electrophoretic mobility of proteins based on their molecular weight differences was investigated using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). More specifically, a reduction in standard deviation in the molecular weight calibration plots by 55% in the case of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and by 34% in the case of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) compared with that of pristine polyacrylamide gels was achieved after incorporating an insignificant amount of functionalized CNTs into the gel matrix. A mechanism based on a more uniform pore size distribution in CNT modified polyacrylamide gel matrix is proposed. Furthermore, the impact of SWCNTs and MWCNTs on the mobility of proteins in different molecular weight regimes at a given acrylamide concentration offers a tunable gel matrix in terms of the selection of molecular weight ranges of proteins. The robustness and excellent reproducibility of the CNT-PAGE protocol are expected to have a significant impact on the molecular weight determination of newly isolated proteins.

HSL showed strong antibacterial activity and induced bacterial agglutination under in vitro conditions, indicating its role in animals' innate immune responses. Very few lectins have been reported from echinoderms and none of these lectins have been explored in detail for their sugar-binding kinetics. Affinity, kinetics and thermodynamic analysis of glycans and glycoproteins binding to HSL were studied by fluorescence and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. Lectin binds with higher affinity to O-linked than N-linked asialo glycans, and the affinities were relatively higher than that for sialated glycans and glycoproteins. T-antigen alpha-methyl glycoside was the most potent ligand having the highest affinity (Ka 8.32 x10(7) M-1). Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis indicated that the binding of galactosyl Tn-antigen and asialo glycans is accompanied by an enthalpic contribution in addition to higher association rate coupled by low activation energy for the association process. Presence of sialic acid or protein matrix inhibits binding. Higher affinity of HSL for O-glycans than N-glycans had biological implications; since HSL specifically recognizes bacteria, which have mucin or O-glycan cognate on their cell surfaces and play a major role in animal innate immunity. Since, HSL had higher affinity to T-antigen, makes it a useful tool for cancer diagnostic purpose.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.667

One approach that shows immense potential is based on the biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms such as bacteria. In this report, we demonstrate the extracellular biosynthesis and complete characterization of metal sulfide (PbS, ZnS, MnS and NiS) nanoparticles using fungus, Fusarium oxysporum. We observed that the exposure of aqueous solution of 1 mM metal sulfate to fungus Fusarium oxysporum resulted in the formation of highly stable technologically important metal sulfide semiconductor nanoparticles. Fusarium oxysporum synthesizes lead sulfide and zinc sulfide nanoparticles of fractal type structure whereas manganese sulfide and nickel sulfide nanoparticles are of variable polydispersed morphology. The variable morphology may be due to the dissimilar interaction of metal sulfide nanoparticles with capping proteins secreted by the fungus in solution. The nanoparticles solution is found to be extremely stable with little evidence of aggregation even after a month of storage. The long term stability of the nanoparticles is due to the proteins secreted by fungus in the nanoparticle solution which bind to the surface of the nanoparticles and thus prevent aggregation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.24</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
