Alex Rider is a 14 year old boy who works for MI6, Britain's intelligence agency. His most recent mission has brought him to a correctional school for rich children in France, known as Point Blanc. Here, Alex notices that all the students besides his friend James Sprintz act almost exactly the same. Their manners, the way they talk, and even how fast they tap their fingers are almost the exact same. After a strange abduction one night, James himself becomes like the rest of the students. Alex…

Over the first five months of my M/Phill program I worked on two major projects: SPTLC1 and UNC13a genes. SPTLC1 Project The goal of SPTLC1 project was to show that mutations in SPTLC1 gene are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS). The following project was done in three steps: exome sequencing of a trio, exome sequencing of a large ALS cohort and matched control samples, and Sanger sequencing of SPTLC1 gene. The projects began with the discovery of a family that consisted of…

Cell aging and its mechanism has been a hot research topic. A large number of research results indicated that the aging degree of animals is inversely related to the mitochondrial function. The function of mitochondria is becoming weaker and weaker with the increase of aging degree [1-6]. Mitochondria generate ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation, simultaneously reactive oxygen species. Early researchs has proven that oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species is one of…

As macromolecular machines, enzymes conduct their designated work in the confined and crowded spaces inside living cells. How does a protein work in such a condition? Functions of proteins are strongly dependent on their structural stability and dynamics while the (macro) molecular interactions are arguably affected by the complexity and diversity of their environments. To date, two interrelated cellular conditions — ‘macromolecular crowding’ resulted from the effect of volume exclusion by…

1) (20 points) The Human Genome Project (HGP) – Awesome Achievement… for what? The Human Genome Project has guided the medical field and has chnaged many lives. With having the human genome project you can now look into your genetrics and find mutation sin your own geneome to find out what you have or are at risk of having. Also with human genemeing we have found areas in the gene that represent a certaint disorder and with medican we can help change the issue within the body. For example there…

Protein are the central to life because they control almost all cellular processes, including initiating most of the reactions that occur in the living thing cells. They are one of the building blocks of body tissue and also can serve as fuel source. They are naturally occurs which means that they are made by living cells, like animals, bug, fungi and even human. They can interact with one another and other biological macro mules to form complex assemblies. Some are quite rigid whereas others…

functions (Kinworthy, 5). Every system has their own limitations of what they can do. This is due to differentiation the cells within each system become specialized for specific functions (Martini, & Bartholomew, 2). If something were to happen to one of your systems, your body’s other systems could not help because their cells do not have the ability to do what the other systems cells did (Kinworthy, 5). An example of three systems that are needed for your body to be at optimal health would be…

Oh, Babies! Figure 1: Twin babies When you saw multiple on your ultra sound, what did you do? You are certainly getting more than you bargained for! Did you question whether you were seeing multiple or question your prescription? Having multiple babies, specifically twins, is perfectly normal! Twins are now on the rise; every one in thirty babies is a twin. This article helps simplify the science of twins for you, so you know exactly what is happening in your body or your wife’s body! Twins…

Albinoism 750 words Albinoism is a some what common skin deformation. This condition can be devoloped before birth and is easily identified by lack of pagment in skin, eyes, and hair. It Is a complete lack or little of pigment melanin which is what makes the skin, eyes, and hair the colors that it is. For example; a black person has darker skin because they have more pigment melanin than someone who’s orgins go back to europe. People with Albinoism have such a lack that their eyes, skin, and…
