| Parvovirus B19 is a common source of infection with a seroprevalence of 60-70% in the adult population. Human parvovirus causes several distinct clinical syndromes such as erythema, polyarthritis resembling rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, hydrops fetalis, myocarditis etc. Recent years have witnessed manifest increase in clinical knowledge of parvovirus B19-associated complications, diagnosis and treatment. Traditional immunosuppressive therapy being unsuccessful, anti-viral therapy might be worthy of consideration. Functional annotation of human parvoviral proteome may provide insights into role of viral proteome in its survival and pathogenic mechanisms. Availability of whole proteome in the open source aided functional annotation of protein using... |

| Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global concern caused by Leptospira interrogans. Subtractive genomic approach, metabolic pathway analysis and multi strain genome comparisons of Leptospira interrogans serovars had proposed 88 common drug targets from 5,124 genes of serovar Copenhageni and 4,727 genes of serovar Lai. Three potential drug targets (lpxC, lpxD and lpxB) were identified from Lipid A biosynthesis process of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthesis pathway. Lipid A is one of the three components of LPS that contains multiple hydrophobic fatty acid chains which anchor the LPS into the bacterial membrane. Designing inhibitory drug molecules targeting Lipid A biosynthesis would dissolve the structural integrity of membrane structure leading to... |
