Phylogenetic analysis and taxonomic distinction of six genera of pathogenic scuticociliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora) inferred from small-subunit rRNA gene sequences
TL;DR: This study sequenced the small-subunit rRNA gene of six species of scuticociliates, Uronemella parafilificum, Metanophrys sinensis, Parauronema longum, Cohnilembus verminus, Porpostoma notata and Ancistrum crassum, the last two of which have not been studied previously using molecular analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-silico protein-ligand docking studies against the estrogen protein of breast cancer using pharmacophore based virtual screening approaches.

TL;DR: The potent lead molecule binding mode, residue-interaction patterns and docking energy were examined by molecular docking and binding free energy studies, and the 3ERT complex structural stability and dynamic behavior were monitored by molecular dynamics analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
