further elucidate LITAF function by allowing the identification of abnormalities during growth and development due to its gene inactivation. Dr. Robert Huber’s laboratory has already successfully conducted a gene knockout in Dictyostelium of Cln3, a protein associated with Batten disease.8 Thereby, his lab offers valuable experience and expertise in this methodology essential to the success of this…

discussed in this paper (gelatin, collagen, protein, tensile force, amino acid, triple helix, collagen fiber, and tensile strength). Gelatin is a protein food gotten by adding water to collagen, the most common animal protein. (Jiggle it: The history of gelatins, Aspics and Jellies) Gelatin is also a mild tasting protein derived from the collagen in animal tissue, and it is the only protein that can thicken liquids.…

and had three children with her. He later came back and worked with Albert Neuberger in order to study the metabolism of lysine, a protein not produced in animals. Later, he got his Ph.D. in 1943 and then turned his focus to the structure of proteins. Soon after, Sanger went to work with Albert Chinball in London in order to prove that the sequences of all proteins were…

to Increasing the cases of ZIKV in the world. This project sheds light on the mystery novel that allows ZIKV invasion and infection the host cells. A penetration process of ZIKA virus occurs by binding with Gas6 protein or (Growth arrest-specific 6) that leads to activate the Axl protein and release a downstream cascade of signaling within the cells, moreover, Axl signaling plays a significant role in protecting the human cell from stranger guests through a marvelous process called fluid-phase…

100,000 cancer deaths per year in the United States alone (Dang et al., 2006). The discovery that this gene is involved in so many cancers has sparked interest in both the scientific and medical communities. By finding the mechanisms by which this protein can induce cell proliferation, there is a possibility for targeted therapies in cancers that are associated with up-regulation…

act the same, some directly bind to amino acids, while others relay the signals indirectly through protein interactions. Identifying FLCN amino acid reservoir allows us to determine how FLCN interacts with amino acids by providing insight whether the interaction is direct or…

Ras proteins are small GTPase which cycle between inactive GDP bound and active GTP bound forms & are critical for cell proliferation, Survival & differentiation. Ras can activate downstream effectors including PI3K-AKT-mTOR and RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK…

Protein is the building blocks of life (nlm.nih.gov). Amino Acids are the building block of protein. Amino acids bond together to make long chains, which is protein (nlm.nih.gov). Human body uses amino acids to make proteins to help the body break down food, repair body tissue, grow, and perform many other body functions (nlm.nih.gov). Amino acids can also used as a source of energy by the body (nlm.nih.gov). According to what I learned in Bioorganic lecture, the amino acid structure contains a…

A. What is the purpose of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)? List the four main components of a PCR. (2 points) The purpose of a PCR is to make large amounts of DNA segments from just a specific DNA sequence. This method is used to scientifically prove if a suspect of committing a crime is truly the person who committed the crime. The four main components of a PCR are: DNA from a sample, nucleotides A, T, G, C, DNA polymerase, and primers. B. What is gene expression? List the two steps of…

Chromatin in Meiosis and Mitosis are shown differently in Interphase. In Mitosis, the chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins. The DNA coils around the protein and that structure is called a nucleosome. Each chromatid in Mitosis is made up of many strings of the DNA and proteins (nucleosomes) to form a half X. The chromosome is made up of two of the chromatids (DNA and proteins-nucleosomes) to form one X. Chromatin in Meiosis are made up of chromatids. Before meiosis I begins, each chromosome…
