Green fluorescent protein

Alongside CRISPR-Cas9 in site specific genome editing are ZFNs and TALENs. ZFNs are a DNA-binding motif assembled as ββα that utilizes a roughly thirty amino acid protein with DNA recognizing amino acids at the alpha helix (Gaj, Gersbach, & Barbas, 2013). These groups of amino acids usually recognize DNA in segments of three. This does not present much specificity in a genome. Therefore multiple DNA-binding motifs need to be combined to create specificity and result in highly specific…

While Tesla was under Edison, JP Morgan was trying to find an industry that he could rise from the ground, and that's when he found Edison with electricity and the light bulb. JP…

had the guts to approach him, so she never caught his name. When she would talk about him, she would call him “Blake”. He naturally looked like his name was Blake. His dark brown skater boy hair cut would cover one eye, but his visible eye was as green as a clover. He had the perfect jawline that every guy would want. His skin was as white as snow. He seemed to wear the same black jacket and black jeans everyday. Something just attracted her to Blake, but words couldn’t explain what it was. She…

keeps accumulating (Kroll). So not only is mercury bad for people and their health, but there is no way to get rid of it. When choosing a light bulb that is going to be all over a house, I would prefer one not streaming out with mercury. Compact fluorescent lamps will help people health wise and help the Earth by not letting out so much mercury, a greenhouse gas which increases global warming. More than 325,000 babies born each year are affected by mercury poisoning (Kroll); cutting back mercury…

The first thing in the morning is to prepare an outfit for the day. Generally when I am getting dressed I think about the weather, what classes I have to attend, and how I am feeling in general. If I am a bit down and just want to be left alone, I will wear black so I don’t stick out, but I still look like I tried to get dressed and look presentable. If I am in a good, happy mood, then I will go with a lighter color such as blue or orange. When getting dressed in the morning, have you ever…
