Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Streptomyces: Streptomyces genomes have a huge reservoir of uncharacterized Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs) producing drug-like compounds, sparking renewed interest in these species. However, in laboratory circumstances, a substantial percentage of these BGCs fail to generate measurable amounts of the anticipated chemicals. As a result, […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Palmitoylation and PATs: Several proteins undergo post-translational modification via the addition of a lipid molecule on the amino acid cysteine through a thioester bond. This modification is termed palmitoylation and owing to the incorporation of variable lengths of lipid chains, it is also called S-acylation. Being a reversible lipid modification, […]
Monika Raman, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore The advent of the current COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing worldwide spread has emphasized the necessity for quickly and efficiently identifying novel or recurrent medicinal medicines. Even though antiviral drug findings are available, the majority prefer to concentrate on the effects of such medications on a particular virus, […]
Laiba Saleem, Aligarh Muslim University Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not any doubt the core way forward for IT, and together with machine learning and data science it holds significant potential in majority fields, and the medicinal industry is not any stranger thereto. From medical/surgical robotics to microchips containing the anamnesis of patients, AI has come […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata The scientists at the University of Leeds have discovered a new method of targeting a mutated protein, which is the reason behind most of the fatal cancers. The mutated form of RAS protein is often considered the “Death Star” since it has the potential to resist various treatments. Although RAS […]
Varuni Ankolekar, Clinical Data Manager Traditionally, the discovery of drugs was done by recognizing the active ingredients from traditional remedies or unexpectedly. Later, Scientists discovered that the interaction of specific chemicals in the drug with biological molecules of the human body serves the purpose of the drug. Later, Chemical pharmacological approaches were made to identify […]
Sribas Chowdhury, Adamas University, Kolkata Anxiety disorder is increasingly becoming a common problem amongst the current generation. A little anxiety is considered to be beneficial on evolutionary terms as it induces the mindset of survival. However, too much of it can equally harm a person physically and mentally. This makes the treatment of anxiety disorders […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Multiple genetic changes direct cancer from mutations to aneuploidy. Aneuploidy is the presence of an unusual number of chromosomes in cancer cells. It is estimated that inherently, 90% of solid tumors, like breast cancer and colon cancer, and 75% of blood cancers are caused by aneuploidy. Although being an indication […]
