C-reactive protein

that affects genetically predisposed individuals across the world. The genetic predisposition occurs on HLA haplotypes DQ2 and DQ8, and is present on autosomal chromosome 6. Celiac disease is induced by the consumption of foods that contain the protein gluten, which affects the auto-antigen tissue transglutaminase. Gluten, a 33 amino acid peptide high…

Agarose gel electrophoresis is a lab technique that is used to separate and identify DNA and RNA according to the size of the individual molecule fragments. It has many common uses in modern molecular biology such as separation of restriction enzymes, analysis of PCR results, the number of DNA in a sample, DNA sequencing, DNA finger printing, and forensic science. The basis behind agarose gel electrophoresis is manipulating the highly negative charge held by DNA. When placed in an electric…

wellspring of protein, sugars, and fiber. Lentils are thought to be a boring protein. Part green peas can be additionally included into an indistinguishable class from lentils. Sustenance: 1 container cooked lentils = 18g protein, 1 measure of green peas = 8g protein *Quinoa is a without gluten grain (in fact a seed) that is utilized as a starch. It's viewed as a starchy protein since it contains starches and in addition protein and fiber. Nourishment: 1/2 container cooked quinoa = 7-9g protein…

of these elements is dependent on brain region, subcellular location, age, species, genetic and environmental factors (Prohaska, 1987). These elements are considered as cofactors, catalysts and structural components for many cellular enzymes and proteins in the CNS. They also play roles in the homeostatic, regulatory mechanisms maintaining their concentrations in the CNS (Richardson and Ponka, 1997). They take part in neuronal activities such as neurotransmission, synaptogenesis, neurogenesis,…

collected. Protein Extraction and Quantification The absorbance vs concentration curve prepared from the Bradford Protein Assay standards was found to have a linear regression of y = 2.2184x + 0.0626 as shown in Figure 1. The absorbances of the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue were used to determine the protein concentrations of the samples. The percent protein was found to be 15.64% in liver tissue, 4.13% in muscle…

The genetic combinations; two normal genes, one normal and one cystic fibrosis, and two cystic fibrosis, each affect the membrane proteins involved in transporting chloride ions through the cell membrane. Two normal genes would not alter whether or not the membrane proteins would correctly shield the chloride ions so that the ions could pass through the cell membrane. With this ability of the chloride ions successfully transporting across the cell membrane the body would not generate a…

Introduction: Forensics is involved with the field of law. It involves the collection, preservation, and analysis of evidence found at a crime scene that is needed to be investigated for further information to be obtained. For the science involved in forensics is in the DNA left behind by suspects or victims. The DNA could be found in different forms such as fingerprints, cells such as blood, skin or hair. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material, with the use of enzymes for…

involved a type of protein and that the water would have to pass by it could maintain continuous pressure . His research began around the 1980s when he studied membrane proteins from red blood cells and discovered them in the kidneys as well. When I analyzed the two peptides and the corresponding sequence, I realized that this was the protein many others wanted to know, and the cellular water channel. Agar agreed to his theory by conducting a test where he compared cells that were proteins…

Meiosis starts: DNA Replicates I am going to draw a nucleus with DNA inside it represented with beads as the four pairs of chromosomes. Outside of the nucleus there will be centrioles drawn. This is where meiosis begins and replicates the cell Spindle fibers start to form on the centrioles and chromosome pairs bind together making tetrads. Nuclear membrane starts to dissolve. Nuclear membrane will be drawn in dashed lines. The chromosomes will be homologous pairs with centromere in the center…

subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the metabolic condition caused by a production of abnormal Notch 3 receptor proteins. The result of these abnormal proteins causes thickening of blood vessel walls that block the flow of blood to the brain. This is caused by a mutation in the Notch 3 gene. Cells containing abnormal Notch 3 receptor proteins results in disrupted normal functionality and ultimately leads to apoptosis of these cells. As the name of CADASIL suggests, it is an…
