overlooked source, cohesion fatigue can induce chromosome instability. The authors focused on the cohesion complex in this study since in a previous study they identified that a certain protein, Ska3, was important in the maintaining of chromosome cohesion2. This implies that there is a possibility of other proteins that can destabilize chromosome cohesion, thus creating chromosome instability. 2. Cohesion fatigue is a phenomenon named by the authors, in which during induced metaphase delay,…

collected. Protein Extraction and Quantification The absorbance vs concentration curve prepared from the Bradford Protein Assay standards was found to have a linear regression of y = 2.2184x + 0.0626 as shown in Figure 1. The absorbances of the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue were used to determine the protein concentrations of the samples. The percent protein was found to be 15.64% in liver tissue, 4.13% in muscle…

discover what kinds of amino acids your body needs and when to take them. It’s amazing that so many bodybuilders know so little about amino acids considering how vital they are to overall health and muscle growth. Muscle building amino acids are what proteins are made out of; therefore they ultimately become part of your muscles and the rest of your body. They affect many different functions in the body including how much energy we have, our mood as well as muscle development and recovery.…

Purpose: The overall goal of this lab was to perform a procedure on E. Coli which involved transferring genes that encoded for the green fluorescent protein into E. Coli to see if the transferred genes would make a difference on the growth and whether or not the bacteria would glow under UV light. Hypothesis: If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then the bacteria will grow but not glow under UV light. If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was…

DNA known as protospacers indicative of particular bacteriophages encountered by bacteria. These sequences are then used as a template for RNAs capable of recognizing viral DNA within a cell and as a means to bind the endonuclease CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9). These complexes allow the enzyme to be shuttled to the target DNA to perform a cut on one or both strands of the foreign DNA in either of the enzyme’s two active sites. Recently, scientists have repurposed this bacterial defense…

Protein bars are often associated with high performance athletes, muscle-builders, and young active people. However, even busy professionals, mothers, and college students can benefit from these handy and tasty packets of nutrition. Busy people who run for work sometimes need to get a quick source of energy while on the go. But instead of grabbing a donut or a bagel, many experts recommend having a healthy protein bar, which contains enough nutrients and calories to substitute for a meal. Of…

and synthesized into protein. The process of transcription, which is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template, is where the instruction of the gene expression is most likely to occur. Prokaryote allows a continual synthesis of protein to occur. On the other hand, in…

The Impact of Protein In order for the human body to function properly, an individual needs a variety of different sources. Proteins are considered a key source that is needed in the human body and are essential to one’s diet. This is true because proteins inhabit a spot in every cell in an individual’s body. Therefore, individual’s need to consume a large amount of protein in order to maintain good health. Proteins are essential to a variety of different functions for one’s body but are said to…

biological function of cell membranes through the underlying descriptive structural megametaphors CELL MEMBRANE IS A WALL and TRANSPORT PROTEINS ARE DOORS and the mappings between them, and by “hiding” (Kövecses 92) other aspects of this concept. Throughout this chapter, Peter Raven and George Johnson pair these main conceptual metaphors with visual portrayals of transport proteins that enable molecules to pass through the “wall” of the cell, in order to develop a stronger connection within the…

of inner membrane of eggshell of chicken Gallus gallus domesticus. Fresh samples of egg shells are cleaned; dried and inner membrane of the shell is separated carefully for FTIR analysis. FTIR spectrum reveals a series of bands related to fats and proteins. Calcium carbonate is the major constituent (about 90%) of the shell, but it is absent in the inner shell membrane as characteristic band at 712 cm-1 is not seen in the spectrum. However, characteristic bands at 870 cm-1 and 1450 cm-1 suggest…
