William Perez Cell Biology 2440 Lab on protein Myosin Proteins are chains of amino acids that perform the most important functions in living organism. Every protein will contain an amino group‚ carboxyl group‚ a different R group and an alpha carbon with two hydrogens. There are nine types of functions proteins can have‚ enzymes‚ motor‚ receptor‚ structural‚ storage‚ transport‚ signaling‚ and special purpose proteins(antibodies). There are four levels of protein structure‚ primary‚ secondary

Do you know that tall‚ skinny kid that towers over everyone? There might be a genetic disorder to explain why he is like that. Have you ever heard of something called Marfan syndrome or MFS? It is a genetic disorder that about one in every five thousand people have and there is a fifty percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation ("What Is Marfan Syndrome?"). Marfan syndrome is an abnormal condition characterized by elongation of the bones‚ and abnormalities in the cardiovascular

The Roux Lab is one of the labs at Sanford Research that focuses on proteins. The goal of the lab is to map the proteins of the nuclear envelope using BioID. This may sound like a simple goal but figuring out where each protein is located but it is a daunting task. With the lab trying to map the proteins‚ it is necessary to develop efficient ways of seeing how proteins interact. In the past years of the Roux lab‚ they have developed a system to see which proteins interact with other proteins

Coagulation factor V (FV) circulates in the bloodstream in an inactive form (procofactor) and is activated to factor Va (FVa) by thrombin. Thrombin cleaves away the large inhibitory B-domain of FV which resolves the molecule into a heterodimer that is stabilized through non-covalent interactions between heavy (A1-A2) and light (A3-C1-C2) chains. A recombinantly expressed truncated B-domain variant of factor V (FV-DT) exhibits constitutive FVa-like activity even in the absence of proteolysis. FV maintains

An enzyme rotates around the double helix unwinding and flattening the structure. The double helix being unwinded is not a natural shape to have for dsDNA. Once the dsDNA is “unzippered”‚ ssDNA can only have new nucleotides partnered with it in one direction. each strand of the chromosome serves as a template to specify as a new complementary DNA strand. Dna acts as a template because each strand becomes a daughter strand by pairing the bases. Replication happens when the helicase attaches and breaks

The very first motion picture of a galloping mare filmed in 1878 by the British photographer‚ Eadweard Muybridge is now the first movie ever to be encoded in the DNA of a living cell by Harvard researchers‚ where it can be retrieved at will and multiplied indefinitely as the host cells divide and grow. “What we’re trying to develop is a molecular recorder that can sit inside living cells and collect data over time.” said Seth Shipman‚ a neuroscientist at Harvard

chemical messengers. The human body contains chemical messengers. There are four groups of chemical messengers within the human body. Each chemical messenger are unique in their own way‚ having different functions throughout the body. The four groups are as follows in no specific order: Autocrine‚ paracrine‚ neurotransmitter‚ and endocrine. Neurotransmitter chemical messengers are let out by neurons where they are deposited into the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitter chemical messenger travel

The Messenger of the Gods Thieves‚ Merchants‚ and even sheep! These are all things that Hermes likes to hang around‚ as well as being the messenger of the gods. Big title‚ right? Let’s talk about that. Hermes‚ also known as Mercury in the Roman culture is the god of merchants‚ thievery‚ and shepherds. He also acting as the messenger of the gods. We was good friends with Zeus‚ his father‚ and Apollo‚ the sun god. He became friends with Apollo at a very early age. As the story goes‚ as an infant

The film depicts the events of Gary’s investigative journey‚ as a way of exploring the truth behind government secrecy and crimes and pushes to better reveal the bad nature of the American system. The film begins with an ironic video of Richard Nixon calling drugs
