| Protein folding problem as attracted structural biologists immensely (1). Till date, correlation between X-ray crystallographic and NMR data are considered to be the best methods for determining structure of intra-cellular proteins. Generating crystals and finding correct experimental conditions for NMR are largly a gamble and resultant data processing highly time consuming. Even if, a large number of laboratories around the world and India make crystals of protein but majority of them fail to generate crystallographic data less than or equal to 10A resolution with currently available instruments. This means that X-ray crystallographic data have been generated from protein crystals with non-uniform lattices. We believe that a large portion of (chain of... |

| In deciphering the DNA structures, evolutions and functions, Cellular Automata (CA) do have a significant role. DNA can be thought of as a one-dimensional multi-state CA, more precisely four states of CA namely A, T, C, and G which can be taken as numerals 0, 1, 2 and 3. Earlier, G.Ch. Sirakoulis et al reported the DNA structure, evolution and function through quaternary logic one dimensional CA and the authors have found the simulation results of DNA evolutions with the help of only four linear CA rules. The DNA sequences which are produced through the CA evolutions, however, are seen by our research team not to exist in the established databases of various genomes although the initial seed (initial global state of CA) was taken from the database. This... |

| Current molecular biology dogma (except alternative splicing) suggests that leading strand of DNA produces mRNA and usually the leading strand gives one ORF (ORF) among the available six ORFs. We attempted to break this rule where three and six ORFs from the leading strand will be formed by designing L-Systems, originally proposed to study symmetry of biological world. We thought this would revolutionize the world of synthetic biology. While doing so, we found L-System containing A→T, T→G, C→A, and G→C, i.e., single nucleotide production rule will stop growing after one nucleotide. L-System containing either (a) A→TG, T→GC, C→GA, G→TC or (b) A→CTG,... |

| Darwinian evolution hypothesizes that a short stretch of DNA was first constructed and then it expanded to give rise to a long strand. This long strand then produced a mix of exons, introns and repetitive DNA sequence. The order of production of above three kinds of DNA sequence is unknown. Reshuffling of stretches of DNA like above within organisms has given rise to different chromosomes. Till date it is not known how this process is governed. In this paper we show that starting with a sixteen base-pair human olfactory DNA sequence one can form a highly conserved protein domain. Once this domain is formed repetitive DNA sequences of a particular kind starts generating which signifies that this particular conserved protein domain will be unique in nature.... |

| Contradictory results have been reported regarding the anti-viral activity of (E)-cinnamaldehyde, a major constituent (~69%) of cinnamon. Here we show that (E)-cinnamaldehyde alone has very low antiviral property contrary to the belief of commoners. There are early sporadic reports in ancient medicinal practices that fine sand was used for increasing the efficacy of antiviral drugs. Can we increase the efficacy of (E)-cinnamaldehyde marginally by using one of the major constituents of sand like silica? Yes, when nanosilica is used as a carrier during (E)-cinnamaldehyde administration, the antiviral efficacy of the resultant cocktail increases marginally. Therefore, (E)-cinnamaldehyde consumed for centuries in tribal therapy as well as in alternative... |

| As per conservative estimate, approximately (51-105) Olfactory Receptors (ORs) loci are present in human genome occurring in clusters. These clusters are apparently unevenly spread as mosaics over 21 pair of human chromosomes. Olfactory Receptor (OR) gene families which are thought to have expanded for the need to provide recognition capability for huge number of pure and complex odorants. ORs form the largest known multi-gene family in the human genome. Recent studies have shown that 388 full length and 414 OR pseudo-genes are present in these OR genomic clusters. In this paper, the authors report a classification method for all human ORs based on their sequential quantitative information like presence of poly strings of nucleotides bases, long range... |
