C-reactive protein

the endosomes, kinases and phosphatases produces and hydrolyses specific phosphoinositides which identify endocytic membranes and allow them to recruit proteins from the cytosol that are involved in vesicle trafficking and other aspects of cellular homeostasis. Lipid mediators of signaling and recognition processes work through specific protein–lipid interactions, the levels of these signaling molecules are extremely small compared with the levels of bulk membrane…

1 enzyme Enzymes are biological catalysts. A protein compound Energy can reduce the carbon reaction. Enzymes to accelerate specific types of reactions. And the kind of substance that reacts. 2.1.1 catalysis of enzymes E is a catalyst (enzyme). S is a precursor called chop, nitrates and substance P is a product. E + S ---------------> E S ---------------> E + P. Complexometry 2.1.2 Factors affecting the enzyme. 1) What type of controlled…

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 fatty acids play a big role in a number of bodily functions. They are a group of polyunsaturated fatty acids and are usually found in fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and trout in the form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (NIH, 2017). Another type of omega-3, called alpha-linolenic acid, is found mainly in plants. Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in muscle activity, blood clotting, digestion, fertility, cell division and growth, brain…

ACR response curve for both groups Graph9: DAS28 response curves for both groups CASE STUDY 4: RITUXIMAB & ITS BIOSIMILAR Rituximab is monoclonal antibody used to reduce auto-immune disorders, transplant rejections, etc. Rituximab binds to CD20 proteins which are found on the surface of B cells and decrease the effectiveness of natural killer cells in killing these B cells. It destroys B cells and hence treat dysfunctional or excessive number of B cells. Rituximab was developed at IDEC…

FTIR analysis of the stem bark extracts of Cassia fistula has absorption bands and the wave numbers (cm-1) of the prominent peaks obtained were described in Table 2. The peak at a frequency of 3463 cm-1, 1618 cm-1, 1448.3 cm-1 and 1241.9 cm-1 were strong while the others vary from medium to weak. Discussion: Phytochemical studies revealed the presence of secondary metabolites like tannins, flavonoid, carbohydrate, saponins, glycosides and phenol in the leaf extract while tannins, flavonoids,…

biologically relevant molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids play a key role in signal transduction. Thus, the relative alignment of the two interacting proteins can affect the type of signal produced. Therefore, docking is used for predicting (assuming) both the strength and the type of signal produced. Molecular docking is one of the most frequently used methods in structure-based…

that is responsible for destruction of toxic H2O2 released during certain metabolic processes.The activity of catalase can be determined by measuring the decrease in H2O2 concentration which is the substrate. Introduction: An enzyme is a large protein that acts as a biological catalyst which changes the rate of a reaction. It provides an active site which is an environment where a reaction can take place this is made up of amino acids. The structure and shape of the substrate, the structure…

Laccase: Dynamic site structure and reactant cycle. (a) Model of the catalytic cluster of the laccase from Trametes versicolor made of four copper molecules. Type I (T1) copper presents the trademark blue colouring to the protein and is the site where substrate oxidation occurs. Type 2 (T2) and Type 3 (T3) copper form a trinuclear center, where the reduction of molecular oxygen and release of water takes place. (b) Schematic portrayal of a laccase reaction cycle producing…

dominates the protein in the majority of `premium ` feeds. Because protein as coined by the Greeks means ‘of the first importance” is the foundation of the feed. It is from protein that all tissue is developed and maintained. If the diet’s protein component is not sound, (and in the case of the carnivore it should be the very soundest possible) then the diet will be unsound and result in breakdowns among the animals that consume it. Since gluten is one of the two major sources of protein used by…

looping to occur, the chromatin fiber must be extremely flexible and able to adapt to different configurations based on environmental and cellular cues. The fiber flexibility is mediated by histone modifications[3]. The CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is a protein that is involved in both long-range looping interactions and histone modifications. The initial discovery of CTCF…
