National Institute of Animal Biotechnology India could lead to vaccines for bird species against avian paramyxoviruses

Avian paramyxoviruses (APMVs) are a group of 21 virus species isolated from a wide variety of bird species across the globe. The most well characterized of them, APMV-1, popularly known as Newcastle disease virus, causes severe disease in chickens causing huge economic loss to farmers. APMVs are similar to other paramyxoviruses such as Measles and Mumps viruses, enveloped and carry a negative sense, non-segmented RNA … Continue reading National Institute of Animal Biotechnology India could lead to vaccines for bird species against avian paramyxoviruses

National Institute of Immunology found substitution of α-helix with a flexible peptide as linker protein for enhanced GMP formation

National Institute of Immunology (NII), New Delhi’s scientists found that substitution of the helix with a flexible peptide sequence in the full-length hGBP-1 (termed as linker protein) effective in GMP formation. Unlike wild-type, the linker protein is not capable of undergoing substrate-induced oligomerization, suggesting the importance of the helix in oligomerization during the GTP hydrolysis. Furthermore, they examined the effect of interactions between this helix … Continue reading National Institute of Immunology found substitution of α-helix with a flexible peptide as linker protein for enhanced GMP formation
