Here are the results of the analysis contact zone of TNFα with TNFα-R2, determination of the potentially most effective oligopeptides, study of the binding free energy of oligopeptides and its changes depending on the number of amino acid residues in the peptide chain, as well as the TNFα form (monomer or trimer). Here are described the most typical loci of oligopeptides interaction with cytokine. To confirm the calculations, the effectiveness of the selected oligopeptides was evaluated in experiments in vitro.For visualization of the molecular complex and work with the pdb file we are used Chimera 1.14 software with AutoDocVina utility. For in vitro studies, were used indirect enzyme immunoassay reagent kits. The initial concentration of oligopeptides is 10 µM, the initial concentration of TNFα (×10–8): 0; 0.0287; 0.0862; 0.2300; 0.5750; 1.4370 µM. When oligopeptides interact with mTNFα, the binding efficiency increase was observed with an increase in the number of amino acid residues in the chain. With tTNFα, such dependence was not observed. A statistically significant difference was  observed in the binding energy of di-, tri-, and tetra peptides with mTNFα, with tTNFα, the differences found were not statistically significant.Thus, the data were obtained, which allowed us to come to the following conclusions: 1) the energy of interaction of oligopeptides with tTNFα does not depend on the number of amino acid residues in the oligopeptide; 2) the trimerized form of TNFα interacts most effectively with oligopeptides in comparison with mTNFα; 3) oligopeptides containing the -Trp- and being a spatial analogue of the TNFα-R2 fragment (-Trp65-Asn66-Trp67-Val68-Pro69-) interact most effectively; 4) it was selected three oligopeptides are the most promising for the binding of TNFα.

In terms of frequency of occurrence, rare species (from 6 to 25 squares) and very rare (from 1 to 5 squares) prevail in Eastern Europe. It was shown that more than 60 % of the taxonomic diversity of bryophytes is in a threatened or close to threatened state in the region. Based on biogeographic zoning, 6 regions (alpine, arctic, boreal, nemoral, arid, subtropical) and 12 subregions were identified. The characteristics of the taxonomic diversity of bryophyte regions and subregions are given, specific species are given and the centers of concentration of bryophyte species diversity in Eastern Europe are identified. There are 162 species in only one subregion, and 68 bryophyte taxa are found in all regions and subregions. The maximum species diversity is observed in the Alpine region (1066 species), which is explained by the general nature of the biological characteristics of bryophytes, the variety of ecological conditions in this region and the presence in Eastern Europe of 4 geographically different mountain subregions: the west of the Kola Peninsula, the Urals, the Carpathians and the foothills of the Caucasus.","PeriodicalId":20656,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Biological Series","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86489337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the presented study was to establish the genetic diversity of enteroviruses (EVs) that caused acute respiratory infection (ARI) in 2016–2019. Biological samples were obtained from 203 patients with various forms of ARI, EV detection was carried out by RT-PCR, followed by sequencing of the main capsid protein gene and phylogenetic reconstruction. EV RNA was detected in 34.4 % of samples, most often in children aged 1–6 years (53.1–54.8 %). Coxsackieviruses B were found in patients with respiratory enterovirus infection (EVI) significantly more often than other EVs, the dominant serotypes were Coxsackievirus B4, B5.

The hypothetical protein encoded by it has a length of 365 amino acid residues, a molecular weight of 42097.23 Da, an isoelectric point pI = 6.21 and located in the nucleus. Analysis of the promoter region of the MD13G1109800 gene indicates that its product is a member of many signaling pathways triggered by both external and internal factors.

The method of free cross-pollination and subsequent selection from the obtained hybrid seedlings of the most promising forms were used in the work. The most significant features in the selection were the following: flowering time, winter hardiness, resistance to diseases and pests, as well as good vegetative reproduction. As a result, 4 domestic varieties of Korean chrysanthemum have successfully passed state variety testing and have been registered in the National List since 2020.

(cv. Rubin) and Amaranthus caudatus L. (cv. Chyrvony aksamit), grown in a pot culture, was studied. Specific features of the development of water deficiency in amaranth leaves were revealed: amaranth plants Amaranthus paniculatus L. showed a stronger development of water deficit in leaves than Amaranthus caudatus L. after 4-days soil drought, which after 8 days increased in two species to 73.7 and 55.7 %, respectively. Under moderate drought, the amount of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids) based on dry leaf weight increased in two amaranth species, but after 8 days of soil drought, the content of Chl (a + b) was reduced by 2.0-2.1 times, and carotenoids - 1.8-1.9 times relative to the physiological level. As a result of a 4-days soil drought in the leaves of Amaranthus paniculatus L., there was a significant decrease in the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the activity of lipid peroxidation (LPO), while in Amaranthus caudatus L. an increase in the levels of ROS and LPO was observed. With an increase in the pressure of the stress factor in the leaves of amaranth of the two studied species, a decrease in the ROS content and LPO activity relative to physiological values was revealed.
