protein profile. F.alocis genome has a total of 15 different proteases. These proteases may be membrane bound or extracellular. Among membrane bound proteases CaaX proteases are present in both the strains. In S.gordonii these proteases are known to play a role in protein transportion and protection of bacteria from bacteriocins. Protease HMPREF0389_00122 is present in the extracellular fraction of D-62D srain and this is known to have collagen peptidase function. This protease might be…
1. Diagram an individual phospholipid and a bilayer of phospholipids. Label the hydrophilic head, and hydrophobic tails in both. 2. Explain the Fluid Mosaic model of the cell membrane and describe the functions of the proteins that are embedded in the membrane. The Fluid Mosaic model of the cell membrane is a hypothesis that describes the phospholipid bilayer and it proteins. It states that the membrane is flexible - fluid - and has various proteins embedded in it - a mosaic. These structures…
up the tendon which are composed of cells capable of responding to mechanical cues that alter the extracellular matrix. They exhibit high tensile strength that allow for the efficient transmission of large loads. The local cell population adapts to changes in loading conditions with normal, physiologic loads required to maintain tendon homeostasis and prevent excessive degradation of the extracellular matrix [14]. Load on the tendon during exercise lead to changes in the characteristics of the…
The study of the brain began by mapping structures such as lobes, cortexes, and regions. As modern medicine continues to make advancements so does the understanding of complex processes which take place inside of the human body such as the firing of action potentials in neuronal cells in the brain. The research presented in the paper “High-Fidelity optical reporting of neuronal electrical activity with an ultrafast fluorescent voltage sensor” shows just how far brain mapping has come and how far…
Three activities of significant formative difference to helping me understand how and what skills I can improve are: 1. The Student Union Borough Student Advisory Committee and Chairperson of Chancellors Student Advisory Council 2. Being Varsity Fencing Team Captain 3. Tackling Biological Research THHS gave me direct opportunities to productively learn how leadership skills can and does make a difference within and beyond our school community. Junior year, I quickly learned about the democratic…
possible (McGloin, 2015). There are two main fluid compartments within the body: intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF), which is further sub-divided into intravascular fluid and interstitial fluid (Crawford & Harris, 2011). Intracellular fluid is the fluid found within the cells of the body and makes up two-thirds of the total body fluid (McGloin, 2015). Extracellular fluid, which is the fluid outside of the cells, makes up for one-third of the total body fluid; interstitial…
hypoventilation. He was prescribed with atropine due to the bradycardia. As he was assumed to be poisonous with tetrodotoxin which is a neurotoxin, intravenous hydration, gastric lavage and activated charcoal was conducted next. Background The extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid of neuron are different significantly…
Finally, the antiserum raised against rtBbigAMA1 reacted positively with merozoites of B. bigemina extracellular (Fig. 4A) or intracellular (Fig.4B), B. bovis (Fig. 4C), and B. microti (Fig. 4D) in IFAT. The green fluorescence of the BbigAMA1 was observed by IFAT in extracellular and intracellular stages of B. bigemina merozoites. 3.4. In vitro growth inhibition and invasion inhibition assays B. bigemina growth was significantly inhibited…
Tumor metabolism is associated with increase in glycolytic pathways by what is known as the Warburg effect. The lack of oxygen due to decreased vascularization makes the mutated cells rely on an anaerobic production of lactate from pyruvate by lactate dehydrogenase accompanied by the oxidation of NADH to NAD+, with a net production of 2 ATP as their main energy source. The NAD+ produced is used as an electron acceptor by the mitochondrial transport chain requiring a stable and high concentration…
Coronary artery disease is a potentially fatal and serious disease that affects the lives of many people all over the world. This disease is the most common form of cardiovascular disease in the United States. There is a serious financial impact on the population due to the prevalence and the severity of the disease. While there is no current cure to the disease, it is preventable. There currently are ways to treat coronary artery disease through lifestyle changes, pharmacotherapy, and surgery…
