  • 简介:骨头导出髓的间充质的干细胞(MSC)是为房间移植在临床的应用程序显示出一个重要潜力的pluripotent干细胞。在现在的论文,proteomic技术被用来接近与猪的骨头髓MSC联系的蛋白质侧面并且在5-azacytidine(5-aza)的效果上调查MSC蛋白质的规定。超过1,700蛋白质种类根据胶化分析与MSC被分开。与控制MSC介绍的表达式相比,有起来调整的11个蛋白质点并且26在5-aza-treated房间的蛋白质模式下面调整。21蛋白质的一个总数被MALDI-TOF-MS分析成功地识别,在哪个之中一些有趣的蛋白质,例如高山哈B-crystallin,在A2的附属建筑,和stathmin1,被报导了通过不同发信号的小径在房间增长和区别包含。我们的数据应该为MSC区别和apoptosis的未来学习是有用的。

  • 简介:在染色体为特定的DNA目标设计锌手指蛋白质主题在染色体工程的领域里是批评的。我们为为绑在特定的目标DNA地点的C2H2锌手指预言识别helices开发了一个计算方法。这预言用锌手指蛋白质和他们的目标DNA三位字节的彻底的数据集基于人工的神经网络。用户们能为也要预言在的二或三根锌手指选择选择一模块化或为输入DNA顺序的synergistic时尚。这个方法将为对为几个生物、生物医学的应用程序设计特定的锌手指抄写因素和锌手指核酸酶感兴趣的研究人员是珍贵的。网工具ZiF预言在http://web.iitd.ac.in/sundar/zifpredict/在网上是可得到的。
