Protein Study Intervention: Methods and Investigation Process Steps The following are the study process steps including study enrollment procedures, study methods and evaluation plan. Study Enrollment Procedures for participants and staff: 1. Selection of Staff Members and Recruitment: Staff Members will be recruited from a local Hospital System. A Geriatricians and Therapist will be recruited for the baseline and follow-up measurements. The therapist must be familiar with geriatric patients. A Statistician will be recruited Montclair State University. The timeframe for this task is first quarter, 2017. 2. Train Staff Members: Staff members will include Montclair State University undergraduate and graduate studies who will be paid per hour…

of Epigenetics.Stem cells are characterized by two traits. They are self-renewal, able to divide into more identical cells and pluripotency, which allow the cells to become any kind of cell such as Erthrocyte or osteoclast.The relationship between epignetics and stem cells paved a pathway to an experiment relating to the relationship between TET, a protein that oxidizes certain kinds of DNA and stems cells and its properties when it is both modified and unmodified, by OGT, an enzyme that…

The Structure and Function of Monomeric Actin Caroline Lussier The Protein Data Bank is a free, updated archive and resource containing information about the structure of macromolecules including proteins and nucleic acids. This material allows users to better understand and compare the building blocks of life. More specifically, this database can help users to draw conclusions about how large molecule conformations help to determine the direction of drug development. The Protein Data Bank has…

α-Lactalbumin, a multifunction protein in milk, forms an enzyme complex with galactosyltransferase that catalyzes the last reaction in lactose synthesis.1 α-Lactalbumin has one Ca2+ binding site and several Zn2+ binding sites as well as many intermediary folding states, making it ideal for research involving the effects of cation binding on protein interactions as well as research on protein misfolding.1 α-Lactalbumin gives milk an antimicrobial property, making it important for infant health,…

molecular modeling field, docking is a method which assumes the desired orientation of one molecule to a second molecule when bound to each other, to form a stable complex. Knowledge of the orientations can be used to assume the strength of association or binding affinity between the two molecules. The associations between biologically relevant molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids play a key role in signal transduction. Thus, the relative alignment of the two…

Protein X has a pI of 5.9, Protein Y has a pI of 7.6, and Protein Z has a pI of 8.5. For each of the methods below, describe how you would go about purfying Protein Y from Proteins X and Z (provide a pH that you would use and why.) Anion exchange chromatography: In anion exchange chromatography negatively charged ions will bind to the column. This will leave positively charged ions flushed through the column. By picking a pH of 6.5, protein X will flush through the column while protein Y and Z…

GLI3 protein, which is a zinc fingered protein and encoded in humans. It is a copy of GLI family and is translocated in patients who possess the Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome─GCPS. The mutation of the GLI3 protein is shown to cause various disorders such as, Pallister-Hall syndrome and postaxial polydactyl type A. The researchers were trying to demonstrate how a single gene mutation could cause these dissimilar developmental disorders in humans. Even though all three disorders can be…

Sarcopenia and Protein Intake: Is the RDA Adequate? Introduction Sarcopenia is an age related condition which is characterized by a loss of skeletal muscle and function.1 The decline in skeletal muscle begins in the fourth decade of life and by age 80 a 30% reduction in muscle mass can be seen, with even greater losses in functional strength.1 Significant decrements in muscle mass and strength increase the risk of morbidity and mortality in the aged.1 The prevalence of sarcopenia in 60 year…

The technique used in this experiment was serum protein electrophoresis to determine the levels of proteins in cow serum. The objective of this experiment is to perform a gel electrophoresis of cow serum by agarose gel electrophoresis and to interpret the banding patterns produced by the migration of the serum. Electrophoresis is the shift of ions in an electric field in which the protein moves in the gel based on size as well as in electric charge. The electrophoretic mobility of small…

How Ferritin was first isolated and how it is isolated now The protein ferritin is formed from two classes of subunits, H and L, in a ratio which vary in different cell types. The H-type are subunits associated with rapid uptake of iron and are predominantly from the red blood cells. Subunits that take up iron much slower are designated L-types. A third type subunit, M, is found in amphibians and is similar to the H subunit. The M-types are predominant in the liver. Once synthesized, ferritin…
