Abstract
The interest in analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) to analyze protein structural parameters and interactions has increased in the past decades as a result of several developments on new generation instrumentation and data analysis tools. In this article, we review AUC principles and applications to study proteins, emphasizing molecular targets of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Keywords: Analytical ultracentrifugation, protein folding, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, protein structure-function, anti-tuberculosis agents, high centrifugal force, hydrodynamic parameters, sedimentation, colloids, macromolecules

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
