Hybridization Of Dna By Sequential Immobilization Of Oligonucleotides At The Air-Water Interface, Murali Sastry, Vidya Ramakrishnan, Mrunalini Pattarkine, Anand Gole, K. N. Ganesh Nov 2000

Hybridization Of Dna By Sequential Immobilization Of Oligonucleotides At The Air-Water Interface, Murali Sastry, Vidya Ramakrishnan, Mrunalini Pattarkine, Anand Gole, K. N. Ganesh

Faculty Works

The hybridization of DNA by sequential electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding immobilization of single-stranded complementary oligonucleotides at the air-water interface with cationic Langmuir monolayers is demonstrated. The complexation of the single-stranded DNA molecules with octadecylamine (ODA) Langmuir monolayers was followed in time by monitoring the pressure-area isotherms. A large (and slow) expansion of the ODA monolayer was observed during each stage of complexation in the following sequence: primary single-stranded DNA followed by complementary single-stranded DNA followed by the intercalator, ethidium bromide. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of the ODA-DNA complex were formed on different substrates and characterized using quartz-crystal microgravimetry (QCM), Fourier transform infrared …

Student Works (2000-2009)

From the beginning of human civilization, mankind have been trying to fins solution on how to make life easier. They create, modify and adapt, as they would please their need. From the smallest things in our life to the biggest part of all technologies, has improved our life tremendously. Computer technology nowadays has an important role in education, communication, medicine, and many more. In the field of medicine, we have seen many support systems had been developed and use to help human in their daily lives. Application of AI in medicine was proposed in this reason in mind, as a …


Sistem Maklumat Perubatan Tradisional Melayu, Omar Rosfazila Jan 2000

Sistem Maklumat Perubatan Tradisional Melayu, Omar Rosfazila

Student Works (2000-2009)

Sistem Maklumat Perubatan Tradisional Melayu adalah merupakan satu sistem makumat berkomputer yang dibangunkan di halaman web. Ia bertujuan untuk membantu pengguna mencapai maklumat mengenai (ubatan tradisional serta tumbuhan berubat yang) diamalkan oleh orang Melayu. Sistem ini akan menceritakan serba sedikit tentang sejarah penggunaan perubatan tradisional. Pengguna sistem juga dijangka dapat mengemukan pertanyaan dan memberi sebarang komen yang berkaitan dengan sistem. Bantuan kepada pengguna sistem tentang cara menggunakan sistem turut dipaparkan dalam pembangunan system ini nanti. Sistem ini juga membolehkan pihak pentadbir membuat pengemaskinian maklumat mengikut kesesuaian semasa dan pembaharuan. Ia adalah sejajar dengan matlamat untuk memastikan penyimpanan maklwnat yang lebih …


Modulation Of The Pharmacokinetics And Pharmacodynamics Of Proteins By Polyethylene Glycol Conjugation, Reza Mehvar Jan 2000

Modulation Of The Pharmacokinetics And Pharmacodynamics Of Proteins By Polyethylene Glycol Conjugation, Reza Mehvar

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

With the rapid advances in the field of biotechnology during the last decade, many peptides and proteins have been produced and evaluated for therapy of various diseases, including cancer. However, rapid clearance and the possibility of immunogenicity after the in vivo administration of these biotechnology-driven products have impeded their marketing. To circumvent these problems, synthetic and natural polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dextrans, respectively, have been covalently attached to proteins, and some of these protein-polymer conjugates have shown promising therapeutic results. The conjugation of proteins with polymers usually causes a reduction in the recognition of the protein by …
