SCREENING OF DRUG CANDIDATES AGAINST ENDOTHELIN-1 TO TREAT HYPERTENSION USING COMPUTATIONAL BASED APPROACHES: MOLECULAR DOCKING AND DYNAMICS SIMULATION.

Screening of drug candidates against Endothelin-1 to treat hypertension using computational based approaches: Molecular docking and dynamics simulation.

Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and renal diseases, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) and a prime underlying cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality.Hypertension is a complex condition and a strong interplay of multiple genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors is involved in its etiology.Previous studies showed an

Growth performance and production cost of laboratory-scale marine microalgae culture using a light-emitting diode

The effects of a light-emitting diode (LED) were examined and compared to fluorescent light on the growth performance of four marine microalgae, Nannochloropsis oculata, Tetraselmis suecica, Chaetoceros calcitrans, and Thalassiosira weissflogii cultured under laboratory conditions for 240 h (10 days).The results showed that the cell densities of N.

Phenotypic plasticity of natural Populus trichocarpa populations in response to temporally environmental change in a common garden

Abstract Background Natural selection on fitness-related traits can be temporally heterogeneous among populations.As climate changes, understanding population-level responses is of scientific and practical importance.We examined 18 phenotypic traits associated with phenology, biomass, and ecophysiology in 403 individuals of natural Populus trichoca
