MYCOsoft: A mycological database
The realization regarding the significance of microorganisms is increasing with the passage of time. In today’s scenario of global climate change and increasing threats to biodiversity, the wheel of advanced biotechnologies is revolving around microbes to restore the ecological balance lost in the past few decades. In Pakistan, however, we lack sufficiently reliable biological data to start with and our...

Generation of a 3D model for human cereblon using comparative modelling
Three-dimensional (3D) protein structures provide helpful insights into the molecularassociation of a gene, its purpose also allow efficient drug designing experiments, such as the structure-based design of specific inhibitors. Recently, it has been shown that protein (cereblon) is involved in various tissues and brain and is revealed to be related with mental retardation. After this first report of cereblon...
