There are four types of interactions that stabilize a protein and give it structure at the tertiary level. Hydrophobic interactions are nonpolar molecules, they generally have a long chain of carbons that do not interact with water molecules. RGroups prefer to interact with each other internally and away from water (Wolfe, G. (2000). Thinkwell biochemistry - 2.7.4 Tertiary Structure). This interaction contributes significantly to the folding and shaping of a protein. Hydrophobic interactions…
in a head structure that resembles a fork (Wiegel et al 1989). Over 100 FOX proteins have been identified since and classified as FOXA to FOXR depending on sequence similarities. The FOX family of proteins function as transcription factors and their defining feature is a DNA binding domain known as the fork head domain (Lai et al 1993). This domain is a hundred amino acids long and is highly conserved. It consists of three alpha helices and two large loop regions. The resulting structure…
In the flyer made by the unions, they are announcing how the C.I.O. won the support of the Japanese cannery workers for the C.I.O. following Cannery Workers. The C.I.O stands for the Congress of Industrial Organization, which is a federation unions that organized workers that belongs to an industrial unions in the United States. The flyer stated that the Japanese looked at C.I.O. with suspicion, fear and distrust because of false rumor about the C.I.O . The Japanese thought that the C.I.O. was…
The protein that is in sequence one is Alpha-synuclein. Alpha-synuclein is a protein whose function in the healthy brain is currently unknown (Alpha-synuclein and Parkinson's Disease, n.d.). Parkinson's disease researchers take great interest in it because it is a major constituent of Lewy bodies, which are protein clumps that are the pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (Alpha-synuclein and Parkinson's Disease, n.d.). Researchers work to characterize the protein's role in Parkinson’s…
Introduction Organization structures can be defined in the manner in which jobs or tasks are formally grouped, divided and coordinated for the achievement of organizational goals. The organization structure can also be considered as a perspective through which the people see their organization. Organizations have different organizational structures since they differ from each other in all sorts of aspects such environment, people, and goals. Each organization is a set of individuals who are put…
The first part of my assessment covered various areas. One of the areas covered my basic personality. I found that I scored highest on my how much I am open to mew experiences. This means that I tend to have wide range of interests. In the Jungian 16-Type personality test, it revealed that I am reserved and creative and could possibly succeed as poet, missionary or an educational consultant. These three areas are areas that I have interested in, seeing as though I have written poetry and also…
sequence which gives rise to its three dimensional structure which is essential to the protein’s function. These amino acids interact with one another to produce a specific folding pattern that produces the conformation of the protein. When one looks at the progression a protein makes in its folding complexity, it is clear that the folding is driven by the amino acid sequence alone. To understand this concept it is best to start with the primary structure of the protein, the polypeptide…
Clendenin’s Goals The case presents Mr. John Clendenin with the ambitious goals of becoming successful enough to be a corporate officer of a Fortune 50 corporation and on the boards of several others. Eventually, he wanted to be appointed to a cabinet-level position in the government. He currently is the director of the Multinational Development Center (MDC), which provides Xerox with efficient worldwide logistics and inventory management systems. He started with Xerox back while he was…
next year, with the development of frontier technologies, geologists will be able to reliably predict the location and intensity of earthquakes. Geologists have been hard-working ever since, they had discovered the fundamental structure and composition of the Earth itself, and earthquake is one of the most intensive investigated phenomenal. Earthquakes have killed over a million people and cause…
Pulling from both sides of the discussion, Terence Eagleton in his book Shakespeare and Society: Critical Students in Shakespearean Drama emphasizes a balance, a fusion of two views, personal spontaneity and social responsibility. This discussion comes down to what people consider when they make choices, the near term and their needs and wants or what is best for or required by society, respectively, the later is generally pro-institution. Although there are two sides of the discussion,…
