Target discovery using the molecular approach, as opposed to the more traditional systems approach requires the study of the cellular or biological process underlying a condition or disease. The approaches that are employed by the... more
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are ubiquitous and conserved molecules whose main function is to facilitate protein folding (molecular chaperone function). Some Hsps such as Hsp70 are also involved in protein folding, protein trafficking... more
The immune system protects a host from foreign pathogens. In rare cases, the immune system can attack the cells of the host organism causing autoimmune diseases. We outline a computational framework that combines bioinformatics and... more
Background Infections caused by Salmonella enterica, a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacteria belonging to the family of Enterobacteriaceae, are major threats to the health of humans and animals. The recent availability of complete... more
The function of a protein is dependent on its three-dimensional structure. However, numerous proteins lacking intrinsic globular 3D structure under physiological conditions had been recognized. These proteins are frequently involved in... more
Honey has antioxidant, immunostimulant, antibacterial, and antileishmanial activities. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro babesicidal and theilericidal effects of honey on Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina, Babesia divergens, Babesia... more
Caseinolytic chaperones and proteases (Clp) belong to the AAA1 protein superfamily and are part of the protein quality control machinery in cells. The eukaryotic parasite Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria, has... more
