maintain even pressure in the cells it is important that water can pass through the cell wall. This has been known for a long time. The appearance and function of these pores‚ remained for a long time as one of the classical unsolved problems of biochemistry. It was not until around 1990 that Peter Agre discovered the first water channel. Like so much else in the living cell‚ it was all about a protein. Water molecules are not the only entities that pass into and out of the cell. For thousands

It is my great pleasure to nominate Dr. Bernhard Luscher‚ Professor of Biology‚ Biochemistry & Molecular Biology‚ and Psychiatry for the Howard B. Palmer Mentoring Award. As the director of Center of Molecular Investigation of Neurological Disorders (CMIND)‚ Dr. Luscher has demonstrated extraordinary commitment and effectiveness as a mentor‚ with persistent effort to provide mentoring of many graduate students and junior faculty members. I started to work with Dr. Luscher when I first joined the

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

Self Evaluation I believe that self evaluation is a very important factor that can show you or to the English mediator the level o performance of a medical student in the first or 2nd year ‚and this can have advantages and disadvantages because each and every student has a potential in writing reading or listening to English. First of all‚ for example in the first semester we did a lot of communication during the English classes debating the Dax Cowart case and other interactional

a five-year residency program in general surgery and a two- or three-year fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery. Cardiac surgeons also must have a thorough understanding of anatomy‚ particularly that of the heart and circulatory system‚ as well biochemistry‚ pharmacology‚ pathology and other disciplines. A cardiac surgeon must be licensed by her state medical board to practice medicine. The physician must pass a board-certification examination in practice general surgery and a separate board-certification

physics and mathematics are all dependent on chemistry and are known as specific studies under the elaborate subject of chemistry. Since there is chemistry seen in biological forms as well as physical states of nature‚ there are subjects called biochemistry and physical chemistry which help study these changes. There are many chemical changes which occur around us everyday but we are never aware of them. Chemistry in Everyday Life Examples: 1) Water‚ which occupies 70% of the earth’s surface
