In this movie, two families identified by their mother’s, Mercha and Talia, live in their own summer homes in Argentina’s scorching sun and tropical rain. This film focuses on social statuses and gender roles in the family as well as the servants that work for them. The children represent the future and cultural descendants of Mercha’s and Talia’s family and have certain expectations for their specific genders. In the beginning of the story, daughters of Mercha shop for clothes for the boys…

Parched means being “extremely thirsty” or one can say that something is bereft of moisture or water that it needs, and that is exactly what the film, Parched, is about. Parched is directed by Leena Yadav and Russell Carpenter is the cinematographer (Sharma). The film is about having a desperate desire for love, freedom, and sex, but being not permitted to have such thoughts because it is against the “custom” or the “norm”. Parched is a bittersweet tale about four women living undesired lives,…

Globalization is pushing organizations to be more competitive and is forcing them to be highly innovative, creative, and prompting them to be more proactive, visionary, with a better strategic plan and mechanisms that can make them more productive and unique. This paper would try to identify (a) market and non-market strategies that Starbucks has used in Colombia since 2014, and (b) market and non-market strategies of the domestic competing Colombian brand, Juan Valdez (a national symbol), who…

The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor is an important protein in human function. LDL receptor is the main protein that binds and carries cholesterol to maintain homeostasis in mammalian cells. In human plasma, it is also the most abundant cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein (Goldstein and Brown, 1987). It plays a major role in the development of atherosclerosis, a chronic disease caused by the accumulation of LDL-cholesterol in the blood. The LDL receptor is also the main protein that is…

one end of the chain is bent towards the knotting loop to form a hook. Instead of plugging the terminus of the hook into the knotting loop, which would raise a substantial energy barrier, the middle of the hook is then threaded into the knotting loop and a slipknot is formed as shown in Figure 1.13. The threaded loop is then further passing through the knotting loop. The trefoil knot forms when the terminus of the threaded loop completely passed through the knotting loop. Molecular dynamics…

Abstract : Proteins are vital components of all living cells and play a critical role in almost all biological processes. Protein structure identification is a significant challenging problem in computational biology. The Protein 's three-dimensional molecular structure (i.e., tertiary structure) reflects its proper function. Therefore, the identification of protein structure is a significant step towards understanding the protein 's function which is an important task to treat diseases,…

Aim 2: How does folliculin detect amino acids to regulate mTORC1 activity? Here, the goals are to elucidate the mechanism of action that enables folliculin to function as an amino acid sensor. 2.1. Determine the amino acid reservoir folliculin senses. Evidence points FLCN as a novel amino acid sensor. To resolve the biochemical mechanism FLCN employs, we need identify the specific amino acid reservoir FLCN senses. Lysosomes’ are the main amino acid reservoir and the ‘inside-out’ mechanism is a…

effective way to obtain protein hydrolysates with bioactive properties (Clemente, 2000; Shahidi et al., 1995). Any hydrolysis process involves at least five independent variables: (i) protein substrate concentration (%N × 6.25), (ii) enzyme-substrate ratio (E/S) in % or in activity units per kg N × 6.25, (iii) pH, (iv) temperature, and (v) time (Adler-Nissen, 1984). Generally, there is an optimum combination of both pH and temerature, where the enzyme shows the highest activity. Physicochemical…

the plasma and is encoded by the transferrin (TF) gene. The protein contains 678 amino acid residues, 19 disulfide bonds and has a molecular mass of about 80 kDa. Transferrin has a combination of alpha helices and beta sheets that form an N-terminus and a C-terminus domain (1). The iron ion that binds to the protein binds to two tyrosine, one aspartic acid and one histidine residues. In humans, the major function of transferrin is to regulate the level of free iron ions within cells. Transferrin…

cellulose. The protists and prokaryotes can hydrolyze the cellulose, which the cow or termite can then use. Lipids A. Fats- A fat is made of a fatty acid and a glycerol. A fatty acid is a long carbon chain with a carboxyl group on the end. It is made up of C-H bonds. Glycerol is an alcohol. Fats are used for energy storage. Fats can store two times as much energy as polysaccharides. Animals use fat instead of starch because fats can store more energy with less space. The adipose cell humans use…
