Book Description
The world is under constant threat of a virus evolving into a global plague.To this point, there is no direct defense against a widespread viral infection. Fourth Generation Biologics: Molecular Virus Killers offers an innovative, new strategy to combat deadly viral infections. Presented is the discovery of unique identifiers for the viral scourges: HIV, Herpes Simplex, the Shingles virus, the Smallpox virus and the newly emerging threats of Ebola virus and the Chikungunya virus. Analysis of the transcription and translation mechanisms utilized by cells leads to exploring the function of nuclear signaling proteins as intracellular hunter-killer molecules aimed specifically at viral genomes. Utilizing amino acid-to-nucleotide binding characteristics, taking into account Watson-Crick binding, Hoogsteen grove binding, and Vander Waals forces, modifications to existing transcription factors binding sites is undertaken. Transcription factors are altered to specifically target the unique identifier of pathogenic viruses. Binding a transcription factor directly to a viral genome is intended to silence the genome, preventing transcription if embedded in the DNA or interfering with translation if the genome is present in a cells cytoplasm as RNA. This emerging technology is then extrapolated to explore activating therapeutic nuclear genes to treat challenging medical conditions including diabetes and osteoarthritis.

Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
The luminous aether, a concept known for hundreds of years, is the fine essence of the universe. Over the last 130 years, mainstream science abandoned the knowledge such an aether existed. Yet, reawakening the principles of a luminous aether as the fabric of space--both within our being and surrounding us, reaching out in every direction to the very edges of the universe-- explains many unsolved mysteries. The luminous aether is a vast three-dimensional ocean of the tiniest and most elemental particles called quadsitrons. From the fusion of quadsitrons and energy, all else in the universe is constructed. The dynamics of quadsitrons interacting with energy accounts for and connects all the micro and macrophenomena that fill our lives, such as gravity, light, electrons, atoms, molecules, and magnetism. It is essential we understand and grasp the principles of this wondrous quadsitron-energy connectivity in order to advance our technology forward to interstellar travel.

Cure and Vaccine, Striking Back at Covid-19

Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1663208409
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
The world is on fire, threatened by a global pandemic brought on by COVID-19. This virulent viral pathogen has rapidly infected every continent across the globe and has spread misery and death in its wake. COVID-19 is very efficient, carrying in its genetic code the instructions to construct its own personal replication machinery. This virus is very effective at copying itself, but does so with a relatively high rate of mutation to the genetic code. Given Coronavirus exhibits a frequent rate of alteration to its state, resulting in an elusive adversary, which makes treating with traditional vaccines an ongoing challenge. Fighting back with novel mRNA therapies, which can be rapidly redesigned, may offer an effective broad-spectrum therapeutic armamentarium to combat Coronavirus. Modification of the native human CD8 cell surface receptor to alert the immune system to the possible presence of the COVID-19, can result in early development of antibodies to target the pathogen. But taking the fight directly to the virus, to stop the infection in an afflicted person, is the next necessary technologic leap in pharmaceutical medicine. Redesigning native human transcription factors to create a hunter-killer protein to neutralize the COVID-19 genome is the next critical innovation necessary to eradicate viral pandemics. Cultivating a cure to counteract viral infections such as Coronavirus is now more essential than ever. Ebola, a devastatingly hostile viral infection, sits lurking, in wait. At the point Ebola evolves into an airborne viral entity, the consequences of such a noxious global pandemic will be horrific. The time is now, to secure versatile and effective vaccines and devise an effective cure to stop rampant viral infections, such as Coronavirus and Ebola.

Microbial Protein Toxins
Author: Manfred Schmitt
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540235620
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Since the initial establishment of Robert Koch’s postulates in the nineteenth century, microbial protein toxins have been recognized as a major factor of bacterial and fungal virulence. An increasing number of proteins produced and secreted by various bacteria, yeasts and plants are extremely toxic and most of them developed remarkably "intelligent" strategies to enter, to penetrate and to finally kill a eukaryotic target cell by modifying or blocking essential cellular components. This book describes the strategies employed by protein toxins to render their pro- and eukaryotic producers a selective growth advantage over competitors. In providing an up-to-date overview on the mode of protein toxin actions, it accommodates biomedically and biologically relevant toxin model systems. As a result, it significantly broadens our perspective on biochemical architecture and molecular ploy behind the lethal principles of pro- and eukaryotic toxins.

Virus as Populations
Author: Esteban Domingo
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128163321
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Virus as Composition, Complexity, Quasispecies, Dynamics, and Biological Implications, Second Edition, explains the fundamental concepts surrounding viruses as complex populations during replication in infected hosts. Fundamental phenomena in virus behavior, such as adaptation to changing environments, capacity to produce disease, and the probability to be transmitted or respond to treatment all depend on virus population numbers. Concepts such as quasispecies dynamics, mutations rates, viral fitness, the effect of bottleneck events, population numbers in virus transmission and disease emergence, and new antiviral strategies are included. The book's main concepts are framed by recent observations on general virus diversity derived from metagenomic studies and current views on the origin and role of viruses in the evolution of the biosphere. - Features current views on key steps in the origin of life and origins of viruses - Includes examples relating ancestral features of viruses with their current adaptive capacity - Explains complex phenomena in an organized and coherent fashion that is easy to comprehend and enjoyable to read - Considers quasispecies as a framework to understand virus adaptability and disease processes
