Innovation In Bioinformatics: Recent Tools, Database And Involvement Of Artificial Intelligence, Aziz Ahmed, Mohd Shuaib, Abdulbasid Banga, Rizwan Ahmad

Indonesian Journal of Medical Chemistry and Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics has evolved in recent years into a crucial subject and a well-liked research area that is interconnected with many approaches and disciplines. The capacity of bioinformatics and its approaches to tackle challenging biological problems and promote research and development. There are various tools and database which are used in bioinformatics. AI is the capacity of a computational system to carry out various activities associated with intellectual beings and as a computer system's imitation of human intelligence processes. The bioinformatics applications with artificial intelligence have the capacity to annotate the data in the direction of logical conclusions. By combining AI …


Exploring The Potential Of Alcohol-Fermenting Yeast Isolated From Heterotrigona Itama Stingless Bees For Beverage Production, Pimprapa Chaijak, Alisa Kongthong, Chiraprapha Maenpaa Mar 2024

Exploring The Potential Of Alcohol-Fermenting Yeast Isolated From Heterotrigona Itama Stingless Bees For Beverage Production, Pimprapa Chaijak, Alisa Kongthong, Chiraprapha Maenpaa

Makara Journal of Science

Mead, an ancient alcoholic beverage, relies on the indigenous microbial community in honey for alcohol fermentation. Nevertheless, data on the use of bee indigenous flora for mead production in Thailand are scarce. This investigation involved the isolation of alcohol-producing yeast strains from the Thai stingless bee species Heterotrigona itama. Subsequently, these isolated yeast strains were employed in mead fermentation with honey sourced from the same stingless bee species. Findings revealed that the yeast strain denoted as P03b, which was identified molecularly as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, exhibited the highest alcohol production of 13.53% ± 0.76%. Furthermore, the yeast strain P03b …


In Silico Analysis Of C-Type Lectins As Co-Infection Receptors Of Dengue And Chikungunya Viruses In Aedes Aegypti, Munawir Sazali, R. C. Hidayat Soesilohadi, Nastiti Wijayanti, Tri Wibawa, Arif Nur Muhammad Ansori Mar 2024

In Silico Analysis Of C-Type Lectins As Co-Infection Receptors Of Dengue And Chikungunya Viruses In Aedes Aegypti, Munawir Sazali, R. C. Hidayat Soesilohadi, Nastiti Wijayanti, Tri Wibawa, Arif Nur Muhammad Ansori

Makara Journal of Science

Aedes aegypti is a primer vector of dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV). The susceptibility of mosquitoes to DENV and CHIKV depends on their recognition receptor of pathogens. C-type lectins (CTLs) are an important mediator of virus infection in A. aegypti. This study aims to identify potential receptors and determine the binding affinity between ligand–receptor interaction, CTLs and virus envelopes (DENV-1, 2, 3, and 4 and CHIKV) interaction based on in silico analysis. Sample sequences were obtained from GenBank (NCBI), and 10 CTLs were acquired from VectorBase. Homology modeling based on a minimum standard of 20% was processed …
