Question 1: For the following double-stranded DNA sequence‚ -CATTGACCGTAA- -GTAACTGGCATT- Answer the following questions: a) Assume that RNA polymerase will read the top strand of DNA as the “template” to synthesize mRNA. What will be the sequence of the mRNA synthesized? (3 points) The new mrna

All cells have the same basic structure (see figure 1) however some cells are specialised to suit a specific purpose. An example of this is the pancreatic beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans. These cells are specialised to synthesise the protein insulin that is involved in the metabolism of glucose in the cells. (Layden‚ 2010) Figure 1 - Picture to show basic structure of a cell. (Farrabee‚ M J. 2007) But how is insulin made? The production of insulin starts in the nucleus which is the

Describe how Bacteria decode its genetic information to produce proteins? Intro(10mins) Bacteria belongs to a group of organism that lacks cell nucleus and membrane bound organells. This group of organisms are termed as prokaryotes. Prokaryotes follows the central dogma of molecular biology first proposed by Francis Crick in 1958 to synthesize proteins from mRNA through a process called translation and the mRNA is being synthesized from the DNA by another process called Transcription.

Comp.155 July 24‚ 2013 Jim Henry‚ M.A. High protein diet and exercise versus gastric bypass are two common weight loss approaches that many dieters are choosing. They will be giving you a break down exactly how to keep your diet plan and know what can benefit them or not. Consequently‚ enough both methods come with some form of health related issues. Then they would have sit down and think what something that they could afford economically. In these two approaches does the benefit outweigh

food nutrition is protein. There is no high protein food‚ even if eating more carbohydrates‚ exercise how hard‚ it is difficult to get muscle full of body contours. The protein is not only the nutrients needed for muscle development‚ but also the body after the strenuous exercise to repair the damage necessary. Therefore‚ high-protein foods should be included in the daily diet. 1‚ eggs are the most natural‚ the most useful food to build muscle. They not only contain rich protein‚ but also have a lot

Bio 6 (Mon. Lab) 5/6/13 The Effects of Pepsin VS. Trypsin in The Digestion of Protein Introduction As food is mechanically and chemically digested through our oral cavity then passes through our pharynx and down our esophagus‚ our food then enters the stomach. The stomach‚ being the main organ for storage‚ also helps with breaking down our food‚ but in order to accomplish that our pancreas helps by excreting an inactive digestive enzyme called pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is the inactive form

Protein Mediated Generation of Human Induced Pluripotent Cells for Maximum Efficiency Project ID: 3244K Abstract Inefficiency of IPS cell generation is a major obstacle in the development of IPS based technologies‚ such as their use in regenerative medicine. Current methods are limited to approximately 20% efficiency and often come with a trade off in safety. We propose a new technology that would increase the rate of IPS reprogramming to nearly 100%. This technology entails the usage of

Analysis of protein post-translational modifications using DIGE-based proteomics Robert M. DeKroon‚ Jennifer B. Robinette‚ Cristina Osorio‚ Sun Yong Jeong‚ Eric Hamlett‚ Mihaela Mocanu and Oscar Alzate Summary Difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) is most often used to assess relative changes in the expression levels of individual proteins in multiple complex samples‚ and this information is valuable in making inferences about relative protein activity. However‚ a protein‟s activity is not
