Raptor might affect mTORC1 activity by regulating assembly of the complex and by recruiting substrates for mTOR (Peterson et al.‚ 2009). The role of mLST8 in mTORC1 function is also unclear‚ as deletion of this protein does not affect mTORC1 activity in vivo (Wang et al.‚ 2007). PRAS40 and Deptor have been characterized as distinct negative regulators of mTORC1 (Peterson et al.‚

water with the subsequent evolution of oxygen. Isolated thylakoids do not contain much of their complement of electron acceptors hence a lot of artificial electron acceptors are used to study the Hill reaction in vitro (the final electron acceptor in vivo is NADP). Many of these artificial electron acceptors accept electrons at different sites along the transport pathway. This study used DPIP dye as an artificial electron acceptor in determining the effects of two herbicides on photosynthetic electron

Liposomes Definition and background10 Liposomes were discovered in the early 1960’s and subsequently studied as cell membrane models. They have since gained recognition in the field of drug delivery. Liposomes are spherical vesicles which can be thought of as a hollow sphere they are composed of a bilayer membrane which entraps an aqueous core. The particle size of liposomes ranges from 20 nm to 10 μm in diameter. Liposomes vary in charge and in size depending on their manufacturing protocol

This is an epigraph to the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. These lines are from Dante’s Inferno which is about Dante going to Hell and asking a question to a false counselor‚ Guido da Montefeltro. The false counselor decides to answer Dante’s

When a skeletal muscle from an experimental animal is electrically stimulated‚ it behaves in the same way as a stimulated muscle in the intact body‚ that is‚ in vivo. Hence‚ such an experiment gives us valuable insight into muscle behavior. This set of computer simulations demonstrates many important physiological concepts of skeletal muscle contraction. The program graphically provides all the equipment and materials
