is use to treat S. pyogenes, but over the last 30 years it has shown resistance around the world (Stevens, n.d.). Fortunately, there are another option called retapamulin. It derives from pleuromutilin which inhibits protein synthesis in the 50s ribosome (Nagabushan, 2010). Children over nine months and adults can use this type of treatment. It is commonly prescribed as a 1% ointment to be used twice daily for 5 continuous days. A thin layer should be applied then it needs to be covered either…
takes between two and 14 days from exposure to develop. The name Shiga toxins is derived from Shigella dysenteriae which is “dysentery causing bacteria” and were first discovered by Kiyoshi Shiga in 1898 (Basu, D. & Tumer, N., 2015). Shiga toxins are ribosome inactivating proteins that cause injury to the microvascular endothelial cells contained within the kidneys, brain and other organs (Bauwens, A., Bielaszewska, M., Kemper, B., Langehanenberg, P., von Bally, G., et al., 2011). Shiga toxins…
Project Summary Hypothesis Statement: The Atypical Protein Kinase C Zeta (PKMz) is the molecular mechanism underlying Long Term Potentiation (LTP) maintenance at the synaptic membrane. Furthermore, this process is regulated at the level of translation of a locally available pool of PKMz mRNA, and can be sustained in part by active PKMz itself, or inhibited via an activity-dependent translation block. Significance: If the effects of a true PKMz conditional knockout result in memory impairments…
Ribosomes are the actual site of protein synthesis (Marieb P44). The packaging of proteins and other substances that are being ready to be exported out of the cell and into the plasma membrane is done by the golgi apparatus. From there, the plasma membrane…
Crossing certain crops to induce certain traits in offspring is not a new process. In fact, farmers around the world have used conventional breeding practices such as artificial selection to produce higher-yielding crops for centuries. Those practices were not frowned upon, but instead considered necessary if agriculture was to continue to support the world’s growing population. Today, we face a similar problem. The Earth’s population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, and world…
ntroduction The development of the oyster aquaculture become limited as there is a presence of the pathogenic associated microbe that can cause disease which lead to physiological and imbalance in that oyster. There is a few reports that describe the bacterial diversity which is poorly know and required to be further study.(Hernández and Olmos,2006). So, it is important to analyze the bacteria of oyster. This study is carry out to analyze the gram positive bacteria diversity present oyster,…
providing structure within organisms, absorbing nutrients from food sources and converting nutrients into energy. Cells also contain various organelles which are also responsible for carrying out specialised functions within the cell. For example, ribosomes are an organelle found in plant cells and are responsible for creating protein synthesis, which is where ribonucleic…
Barry Bonds, a seven-time National League Most Valuable Player and, 14-time All-Star, holds the Major League Baseball (MLB) record in career home run with 762. Even with these records and accolades, Barry Bonds is considered to be one of the most polarizing players of all time. This controversy stems from his history of using performance enhancing drugs (PED). In fact, from a recent Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) ballot he received under 50 percent of the vote when he needed at…
BIOMOLECULES It is from the foods we eat that we get the essential compounds that our body needs. These types of compounds are used by our body for energy and growth. In this chapter, you will learn about biomolecules and their functions in the human body. iEngage Nutrition Facts Objectives To examine nutrition facts from food labels To recognize the importance of knowing the food labels Materials food label paper pen Procedures 1. Examine carefully the nutrition facts of…
1. Introduction This illustrated report will be concentrating on the digestive system and the detail of digestion, including mechanical and chemical digestion, extracellular and intracellular digestion. It will highlight how enzymes work within the digestive system, which ones and where they are produced. It will show the importance of metabolism and its two categories anabolism and catabolism, there will also be an illustration of how nutrients are processed during anabolism and catabolism. It…
