Methodologies for in silico and in vitro Test of Biphenylalanine Compounds as Potential HIV-1 gp120 Attachment Inhibitors
Abstract: We postulate that biphenylalanine and its derivatives are propitious candidates to inhibit the binding of HIV-gp120 to CD4 T-cell. Many biphenylalanine derivatives are synthesized chemically and also prevailing in nature. We have proposed atom- and bond-based 2D TOMOCOMD-CARDD approach to identify the best derivative. Moreover, according to our proposition, the principal law simulated from in silico interaction of gp120 with CD4 can be tested by ELISA in vitro. Furthermore, the …

Power and Congestion Control Analysis for MANET in NS3
Abstract: AbstractRouting to MANET is difficult due to the navigation feature. The main causes of connection failure are mobility, interference, and congestion. Mobility means that each node is free to move within its transport area. The interference is due to a collision and a hidden node. A hidden node means two nodes outside the radio frequency range of each one while trying to transmit data to an intermediate node located in …
