An experimental setup is proposed for recording the data in real time environment. Data was collected and then processed by an SNR based algorithm to separate the noise from acoustic signals. A modified MFCC is then used to draw out the features of each five-second sample received after preprocessing. Linde-Buzo-Gray algorithm is used to fetch the statistical properties of the identified feature array. Finally, the acoustic signals are classified using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm and half of the identified feature array and performance of the algorithm were tested by using rest of the marked feature arrays.","PeriodicalId":363820,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130601280","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}

In this context recently a dual inhibitor is reported to inhibit these two crucial targets of Alzheimer's disease. There is need to discover novel more potent inhibitor against these two target. So with the help of computational method we tried to understand the important binding residues of both the target and conformation of dual inhibitor 1 in the active site.

To solve this problem we present a formulated hypothesis where the basis revolves around the central idea of energy conservation and the energy currencies in a cell. Further we reconstructed a Human Energy Pool Network (HEPNet) with 4 compartments, 173 metabolic reactions and 158 metabolites; analyzed and characterized from various resources under a range of conditions into a kinetic model backbone. Ordinary differential equations generated through the network inferred that the glucose concentration is dependent on several factors but varies as a logarithmic function. Time course simulations were carried out and flux balance analysis validated the findings that ATP flux is dependent on 7 reactions with glucose playing a major role referred to as the Glucose component which varies logarithmically in a flux based ordinary differential equation. This glucose component denotes the change of flux behavior in the hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic condition.","PeriodicalId":363820,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB)","volume":"469 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117009472","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}

In the present study three strains of Rhizobium namely Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021, Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 and Rhizobium tropici CIAT899 whose complete genome sequence are available were retrieved from NCBI for the analysis of codon usage. The overall codon usage analysis showed that codons ending with G and C are preferred more in the rhizobium genome than codon ending with A and T. ENc plot revealed that compositional constraints along with translational selection are the major cause of codon usage bias. Correspondence analysis (COA) showed that the variation in codon usage is accounted mainly by the first two axes. From the Pearson correlation analysis significant correlation was identified among the first axis of COA and Codon adaptation index (CAI) and other factors of codon usage bias. 17 optimal codons were identified that were shared among these three strains.","PeriodicalId":363820,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131626736","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}

In this paper the molecular properties of virulent proteins were investigated and classified on the basis of their functional, biophysical and biochemical properties. Bio-computational investigations and statistical analysis of the protein sequences was done. IpiO (ACU56995.1) one of the known virulent protein responsible for the disease, showed its similarity with HSF-type DNA-binding (EEY62722.1) non-virulent protein. Molecular modeling of the non-virulent protein was done. Modeled structure provided substantial parameters under Ramachandran plot, stereo-chemical aspects of the model was evaluated using RAMPAGE web server.

The LpxC enzyme exists universally in all the gram-negative bacteria and catalyzes the first committed step of Lipid A biosynthesis. Evolutionary divergence study revealed the lpxC gene to be under strong degree of purifying selection in many highly pathogenic bacterial species. Homology modeling of the LpxC enzyme from different human pathogenic bacteria was carried out along with critical model evaluation and structural alignment analysis. Investigation of clefts on the LpxC protein surface demonstrated the presence of specific residues within the substrate-binding cleft. Preference for different secondary structural elements within the major cleft was also noticed in the LpxC enzyme from the sixteen selected pathogenic bacterial species.","PeriodicalId":363820,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BSB)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132668398","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}
