sugars, so if any are present other than lactose the lac operon will not be expressed in the plasmid. (Khan Academy) A plasmid is an "independent, circular, self-replication DNA molecule" that contrasts with the more complex helical shaped DNA of Eukaryotes. (Arizona State University) This type of DNA is often found in bacteria, specifically E. coli. The lab group used E. coli as the test organism for this experiment,…
ABSTRACT N-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) is an attractive target for the development of novel antimalarial drugs. In this paper, we report a hologram quantitative structure-activity relationship (HQSAR), a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), and a comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) studies on a series of benzo[b]thiophene-containing selective inhibitors of plasmodial NMT. Two QSAR models were constructed, one for Plasmodium falciparum NMT and another for Homo…
letter. Most people would put Varecia in the family Lemuridae, the superfamily Lemuroidea, the infraorder Lemuriformes, and the suborder Strepsirhini (and upwards: the order Primates, class Mammalia, Phylum Chordata, kingdom Metazoa, superkingdom Eukaryotes). The anglicised versions are thus: lemurid, lemuroid, lemuriform and strepsirhine. There are other levels in the hierachy that can optionally be used. Subfamily is probably the commonest –- it is not used in our reference classification for…
