Abstract
A nonapeptide, H-Asn-Gln-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Leu-Met-NH2 , corresponding to amino acids 6 to 14 of bombesin and its four analogues were synthesized by a solid-phase method and were tested for their comparative effect on reducing activity on food intake using male Wistar rats. The synthetic bombesin-fragment6- 14 showed reducing effect on food intake using male Wistar rats. Of the synthetic analogues, [Phe(4F)13 ]bombesin-fragment6-14 exhibited the most potent effect. The reducing effect on food intake of [Sar 11 ]bombesin-fragment6-14 was lower than that of our synthetic bombesin-fragment6-14, but the other two analogues, [beta Ala11]bombesin-fragment6-14 and [1-Nal8 ]bombesin-fragment6-14 showed no reducing effect on food intake in rats.

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
