Historical Perspective The original concept of the pharmacophore was developed by Paul Ehrlich during the late 1800s. At that time, the understanding was that certain “chemical groups” or functions in a molecule were responsible for a biological effect, and molecules with similar effect had similar functions in common. The word pharmacophore was

Genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach has facilitated the unbiased association of the entire human genome to diseases. The completion of the human genome project has instigated the development of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) which enhanced the practice of genetic screening, diagnosis and treatment (Wu et al., 2009). Through the

Lichens are important agents in the biogeochemical and biogeophysical weathering of minerals and rocks, and in certain situation they play an important role in plant succession. Lichen is a symbiotic association between fungi (mycobiont) and photobiont. The external morphology is determined by mycobiont and provides shelter to the photobiont which

Cancer is a major cause of death in economically developed countries which affects millions of people and it is caused by the growth and the spread of abnormal cells in an uncontrolled manner (Arnold et al., 2015). Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are the part of innate immune defense mechanism. It is

INTRODUCTION Agriculture was one of the prominent causes of a quick shift of civilization from a nomadic life to a steady present day life by switching to produce stable food in a single location round the year. In other words, men settled down by domestication and upscale production of stable food.

Signal transduction is initiated by complex protein–protein interactions between ligands, receptors and kinases. It is now becoming clear that lipid microenvironments on the cell surface known as lipid rafts also take part in this process. Lipid rafts containing a given set of proteins can change their size and composition in

Scientists from J. Craig Venter Institute, La Jolla, California created a history in modern Biology when they announced in May 2010 creation of a ‘synthetic cell’ by replacing the genome of a bacterium with a man-made synthetic genome. “We call it the first synthetic cell; these are very much real

Lytic bacteriophages induce bacterial cell lysis to release progeny virions from their host cells at the last stage of the lytic cycle. Thus, the bacteriophages have developed several strategies degrading peptidoglycan layers (PGs) which are a major component of bacterial cell walls. For instance, a single lysis gene E of bacteriophage ΦX-174
